RAIN AGAIN INTERFERES.

BY STRIKE-OUT."],"

Hein was again a baseball fans kill joy, yesterday's scheduled game between the U.S.S. Helens and the Chinese Athletic teams being again called off. The old weather-man hasn't been at all kind to local fans, this being the third time that games have been interfered with. The schedule called for. a rip-snor; for of a game and it sure should have been worth watching. The sailors, were slated to win against' their weaker opponents' who were not quite as hefty on their batting,

are the gobs. Another strange thing in that both teams are strong contenders for the tail-end of the league standings. If Haleina win, they will slide up to third place and the Chinese will be fighting for last honours with Hong Kong. But if the sailors lose they will have the first place from the wrong cad tied up tight.

Standings Upset.

Last week's games rather upset the standings of the teams and on Saturday the U.S.S. Helena wal- loped the cars off the Hong Kong bunch. The score was closs but the sailors had the top hand all through the game and were able to give the Hong Kong Inds helping hand, doing their best to liven the game up. The game as a whole wan rather slack and the only bright root, was Zafra's homer in the third.

On Sunday the Tups cleaned house for the second time with South China. This game gives us some idea of who will win the league. The Japs have a dandy chance for comming out on top but they have to win all their next three games. If they play the saine, na they have in the past there is no chance of their losing. Thoir next game in with the U.S.S. Helena and as they have beaten the sailore once, they should have trouble duplicating the act.
