The first game was sure a fast one and sons, good ball was played. The game was forced to run two extra in- nings and until the last inning it could have been anybody's game. Scoro was tied in the saventh and no runs were recorded in the eighth. In the last inning the Japs brought in two-runs to put the game in the bag with a final score of B-0," The Hong Kong boys made, a fatal mistake when they changed pitchers in the ninth the second string being knocked all over the field by the
Jap sticks-men. Hong Kong made a game up hill fight when they tisd the score in the seventh, and if it had not been for their mistake in changing pitchers they might have come into the running.
The second game of the day was called on account of rain in the first of the sixth and the score stood 8-0. Both teams were putting up
a good fight when the down-pour came on but as over half of the
