WEEK-END SPORT

Cricket, Football And Racing

Hong Kong in general will be very well provided with sport over the week-end, for apart from the League cricket and foot- ball matches, there will be the First Extra Race Meeting at Happy Valley, this afternoon, and as our racing correspondent, "Last Quarter," stated in his notes yesterday, plenty of excite- ment is promised' race fans as the form which the ponies are expected to show leads one to the conclusion that dividends will be on the healthy side to-day.

Cricket

BY "LBW.".

The two sentor games that pro- mize to attract the most atteafon to-day are those between Kowloon Cricket Club and the Indians, al King's Park, and the HK.C.C. and Craigengower Cricket Club on the former's ground, for it will be up- on the results of these games that the destiny of the senior shield for the season will rest.

All the teams will be at full" strength, ur as strong as circum stances permit. The Club will be without T. E. Pearce and F. Mar- shall, but they will have R. L. D. Wodehouse and P. C. Frost as well as H. B. Neve. II. Owen Hughes, I am glad to note, has recovered suf- Helently from his injury to play again. The chances are that the Club will win though there is a possibility that the C.C.C. might be able to force a draw.

The Indians are making one "change in the team that repre- sented them against the club and that is, A. R. Kitchell will be re- turning to the side in place of J. 9. Abdul-Currcem, I cannot see a verdict being reached in this game unless the LRC. bowlers dismiss Donald Anderson and Ernie

Fincher cheaply. On the other hand it would be dangerous for the K.C.C. if they let A. R. Abbas and A H. Madar get going.

The full programme of cricket matches for to-day is given in our diary of sporting events.

Hockey Notes

(BY R. H. B.)

The first round local Interna- tional hockey tournament match between 'England and Scotland at King's Park during the week, which the Englishmen won by two goals to nil, could not have been played under worse conditions than that experienced. The ground salted Scotland's team as the slippery surface hampered the fast England forward line led by Wright, With the inclusion of Tom Whitley and Victor Bond and Norman Mackay the Scottish side might have turn- ed the tables on England.

In connection with the match the mention of Bónd brings up an interesting point. Bond played in the trials and was selected as lefi wing for England. Then, it was discovered that Bond played for

They have Eddie Gosano (the Interport back), Dr. Albert Rodrigues, Xavier, J. Gonsalves, Marques, M. Oliveira, N. Beltrao and Tony Alves number- ed among them.

Soccer Notes

(BY "SPOT KICK") There is a full programme of five matches in the Senior Football League this afternoon and the most interesting on the card will be that between South China "B" and the Seaforth Highlanders. The latter will be making their first appearance on the Caroline ground and judging by the form they displayed against the Royal Ulster Rincs a fortnight ago when they took full points, I would not be surprised if the Scotsmen win The probable return of Miller, who was recently injured, to the centre- forward berth will add the neces- sary thrust in the Highlanders' at- tack.

To-morrow afternoon, the Royal Welch Fusiliers travel to Caroline Hill where they meet Bouth China "A who are making a bola bid for championship honours in the. League. The other match on the programme is that between the Kowloon Chinese and St. Joseph's. The latter should take the points.

A fast and interesting game, in- which defence 'was inore. pro- minent than attack, ended in the Scottish winning by the only try of the match, scored halfway through the opening half.

Play, as was to be expected from the conditions which prevailed, lay largely with the forwards, there were however, many surprisingly good handling movements, Birken- head having some advantage Here. The triangle of R. E. Bibby, splendidly fed by N.A. Steel, T. C. Knowles, and G. E. Hancock, was most effective, and only keen New York, Mar. 11.

Contrary to a widespread bellef, neither Alfred Padgham, the Bri- fish Open champion, now on his Way back from South Africa, nor Archle Compston was among the applicants. Padgham is under con- tract with the Sundridge Park club, Bromley, while Compston, who has been at Coumbe Hill, Kingston, for some years, is per- tertly happy and contented under

the club's new regime.

The names of Ayton and Staft are in the nature of surprise selec- tions. A St. Andrews born man and one of golf's great stylista, Ayton as an amateur won all the competitions of the St. Andrews club. He has played for Scotland in the international match against England five times, and was fourth in the Open championship.in 1910. Ayton turned professional and in 1919 went to America, where he remained 13 years.
