HIGH SCORING GAME AT

V.R.C.

KOWLOON JUNIONS HOLD

NAVY,

[BY "WATERMAN;"]

At the V.R.C. last night the Royal Navy shared the points with the Kowloon "B" in a fast game. Kowloon led throughout but the Navy appeared the more aggressive team of the two and the result was a very fair indication of what took pince.

The Teams.

Kowloon "B": Angus, Harvey, Henry, Frost, Murphy and Lawson, Royal Navy: Hunt, Bashford, Wadhom, Blyth, Sullivan and Forman..

(The teams agreed to play six a side).

The Game,

Kowloon started with a fast pace early in the game and held the Navy back, Frost registering the first goal. A few seconds later Murphy put the Kowloon team fur ther ahend, but the Navy played up after this and Sullivan reduced the lead. Just. before the interval The chief other event of to-day's Kowloon scored their third goal play was Babe Ruth's feat in crash-through Frost and was leading by ing out his forty-fifth and forty-3-1 at half-time. sixth home runs of the season, putting himself well ahead of the Beld. Lou Gehrig likewise got two homere, his thirty-third and thirty-

fourth.

It was a day of double-headers. In the first of two games between Boston and Pittsburgh the Braves were able to nose out a 3-4 win which meant sweet news, for the Cubs. Boston had run behind early in the game but in the eighth inning they gained a lead with three runs, helped by an aggregate of four Pittsburgh errors.

The Pirates took the lead in the seventh inning of the second game with two runs and made one more in the eighth for a 5-9 victory.

With each team making 13 bits but with the Phillies committing five crrors, the Cincinnati Reds took Philadelphia's measure to the tune of 9-6,

In the American League the Senators, by a double victory over Detroit, assured themselves undis- puted possession of fifth place." Their percentage is now 488, while that of the Tigers is 155. In the AREA FOOTBALL LEAGUE. first game Washington won 20, in

the second 1-0.

League Table. -

Babe Ruth made his forty-fifth home run in the first game with Cleveland, assisting the Yankees to a 0-2 win despite four New York errors while Cleveland was respon sible for three. Gehrig got his thirty-third homer, in this game.

The second game saw each man repeating, and the Yankees turning total of 14 hita into 12 runs while Cleveland, with seven hits, could make but two runs.

Sullivan got through for the Navy in the second half and re- duced the lead to 3-9 but Murphy for Kowloon added a further goal for his side and looked like putting a seal to matter when Kowloon was standing at 4-2.

Two goals in succession by Forman enabled the Navy to draw level but Frost again put the civilians ahead a few seconds be fore the end. Sullivan for the sailors equalised just before the final whistle, the game ending in a draw with the scure standing at 5-5.

TO-DAY'S FINAL.

V.R. C. 4 À "?".

Before discussing the chances of Kowloon "A" in the match against V.R.C. "A" to-day, I would bring readers' notice to the positions of the various teams in the league which are as follows:-

Gosia.

P. W. D. L. F. A. F. V.R.C. "A".... 88 0.033 9:18 Kowloon "A". 870 1 27 4 14-

It can be seen that a win or a draw gives the V.R.C. the cham- pion honours.

Bishop, of the Athletics homered in the first Philadelphia-St. Louis game but the Browns won 6-2, with 2nd a total of 15 hits. In the second The leading Club have played the game Kriss of the Browns homered same men throughout and are field- and, but the fortunes of war turned to-ing the same team to-morrow. To ward Philadelphia and the Athletics those, who understand the game, won by one run, 4-3.

This brought the Athletics to a percentage of .388, New York trail ing second with 574, Cleveland third with 599 and St. Louis elose behind in fourth place with 521.

Of the V.R.C. forwards, I think Roza Pereira is the most formid- able and will need a good deal of watching. Liang also is a useful ** all-rounder " and if unwatched will prove dangerous. Gittens is the home team'a "speed-merchant" and he also has a useful backhand shot. The home team in fact has everything desirable in a team, and will not go under without a severe struggle

For Kowloon, the greatest about is Angus the goal-keeper, He will prove hard to beat. Rodgers at back is a reliable man, but it seem that Kowloon might not play hin

The news will be disappointing to local enthusiasts, as Mr. Aitken head gave a wonderful exhibition of his prowess on the occasion of their last visit in October, 1997. He led the team comprising Messrs. Brierley (No. 1), Harvey (No. 2) and Malcolm (No. 3), which scored an overwhelming victory for the first time on Hong Kong ground. With him as skip in the match against Kowloon Bowling Green Club, the Shanghai rink won hand- somely, and put up another record in the series by scoring the maxi- mum of eight in one head.. "

In doing so, he played a much different game from what he had shown previously on local courts. Opening his shoulders, right from the start, he was always on the aggressive, and although, as usual, he stayed at the base line, he con- trolled his shots, which had plenty of pace, with remarkable accuracy. His drives, which wore the best features of the match, had length and be mixed them up so well that Honda was kept on the move all the time, Occasionally, he sent an

On their last visit the first match against Craigengower was called, off owing to rain, but a dry spell intervened and it was decided to play off, the object being to give the visitors a roll up on the same green as that on which the Inter- port matr was due to be played.

Leaving arguments aside that the local team could have been better- ed, it seems certain it will need a very good team to beat them. If Skip Malcolm and his merry men have the real stuff in them, and are really bent on taking back the trophy which they had to unfort- unately surrender last September, then we should see a capital game on Saturday week.
