SWATOW NOTES JUST ONE MORE

CHANCE

Baseball In The Rain

From Our Own Correspondent)

Swatow, July 17.

The Ball Game between Kak- chiqh and Swatow scheduled for the 7th of July was abandoned on that date owing to rain, and was" played in Kakchloh last Saturday,

The weather still was unsettled and left the ground in good condi tion for base gliding, which was taken advantage of, both by ac- cident and design. Swatow play- ed two men short, and the game finished 15 to 13 in Kakchloh's favour.

Kakchioh did some good nelding. and outstanding amongst their men was Liathac (T.C.I.) who "probably made the win for them

with

catches. some remarkable Russell A.P.C) made one catch at 3rd base which surprised everybody and possibly himself. The hit was made by Leonard (Secony) playing "for Swatcw who puts about 200lbs behind a hit, and the ball was tra- velling at such a speed that no one thought it could be caught

Gomes between the two teams are now even, and the "next one: will mean a hard battle.

SOLDIERS SENT ARMS EMBARGO

TO PRISON

Francis Lee Bound For Robbing A Taxi

Over

When Francis Lee was again brought before Mr. Hamilton at Central Magistracy yesterday on two traffic summonses, Dr. D., J. Valentine expressed the opinion that defendant was not certifiable as insane, being sound in mind. although not given to sertous thought.

The summonses against Lee were that he had driven an M. G. mid- geb.car without a licence in Island Hond, and driving it without the permission of the owner. Mr. B. A. Proulx.

It will be remembered that some doubts as to Lee's condition of mind was expressed when he was frst summoned, and he was ac- tordingly sent to the Civil Mental Hospital by his family, where he has been under observation for 14 days.

Mr. G. S. Hugh Jones, appearing for defendant, yesterday tendered a plea of guilty to both monses.

Newcomers to Swatow are Mr and Mrs Angus. Mr Angus is the Commander of one of the Customs Revenue Cruisers operating from

Swatow.

Mrs J. H. R. Hance (previously a resident of Swatow) and Daugh- ter Barbara, arrived from Hong Kong yesterday, for an extended visit. They will be guests of Capt. and Mrs Stocker at Masu Island.

An interesting fact was revealed the other day which is of interest to Swatow

-other residents and friends of the parties concerned.

An announcement was made over the radio to the effect that the first milionth visitor at the Chic- ago World's Fair was a Mr. J. Spel- cher. Inquiry revealed that the Mr Speicher concerned, is the son of Mrs Speicher who has for many years been connected with the Baptist Mission in Swatow and he was born in Kityang

Loqui friends of Mrs Speicher found a long article fa ar Ameri- can newspaper, and upon reading it. Mrs. Speicher verified the fact that from the description, her son was the millionth visitor referred to.

Mr Speicher was welcomed by

the Fair officials, and as has been

as insane. He considered Lee was At to plead. His impression WAS that Lee was sound in mind, but had no serious thoughts in his head. Life to him was just one easy round of pleasure; Lee did not seem to have been thwarted in anything. Being the son of a wealthy father, who could give him more or less anything he

wished, he had behaved accord. ingly. He had the makings of quite a decent chap, but has never been given a lesson.

Mr. Hamilton:--It is a case" of sparing the röd?

Dr. Valentine-I think so.

Mr. Hamilton-It seems to be very common here. The position is that I have not only to do my test for him. but I have also got to think of the public...

After reading out Lee's, récord since

1930, Mr. Hamiltor asked Dr. Valentine whether be would be doing Lee any permanent harni if he sent him to prison, or would he be doing him good,

Dr. Valentine said there would be no harm done, but a great deal of good.

Mr. J. A. Fraser Assistant At- tomey General, prosecuting for the Crown, said:.......

These two men are in the unen viable position of being the first to come before your Lordship on a criminal charge. I am instruct Eed that the number of crimes of viclence, which can be attributed to men of this regiment is very discreditable and I am therefore lastructed to ask your Lordship to commensurate impose a sentence with the offence--subject of "course. to any extenuating circumstances which may be adduced,

His Lordship pointed out that accused made no attempt at con- dealment ab ali and "that their defence was drunkenness. Is it not possible," he continued, "ignoring what you have just said as to the prevalence of offences of violence in this regiment, to regard this as a discreditable, co- wardly and mean offence? I read a. Press report, of a somewhat simi- lar case and do not remember what sentence was passed by the learned Magistrate, but I regard that as a more serious offence than this.

"There is now reason to hope that all the other Governments who have accepted the Langue's proposals in principle. will take necessary steps without delay."

Prior to this statement, Bir John Simon, aniwering a question, sald' that so far as he was aware," the only Governments who had, up to the present, been actively prevente
