[Br°C. L. C.]
The result of Inst Sunday's game, between the South China Dragons and the U.S.S. Sacramento was "not at all unexpected. The sailors' have the best team in the Colony this year, and the only pity is that they are not in the League. The Sacramento outfit play, with 'science that is rarely seen in Hong Kong. The Chinese players were interior in every branch of the game.

It was good to ace the veteran player, June, staging a come- back as a pitcher. He will put it over too, with a little more prae- lice, and other pitchers, like Zafra And Ruffin, will have to look to their Inurels. Juné must have played in seine big matches during his hey-day and although longer young, he can still look after the third base beifer than many of the younger players.

Although they have not lost a game this season in the langue, the Filipinos went under Lo the Asherille crew on Tuesday in friendly tussle. The game was a patchy affair, and every player went about his job in a haphazard. sort of way. Chadwill pitched a fairly good game for the sailors, but Alvares of the Filipino pack

Looking at it from one angle, the Filipinos are undoubtedly the best type of sportsmen. They do not wish to take advantage of the um pire's errot, and since the Dragons had won the game, they allowed them to keep the victory.
