BASEBALL WILL BE BRIGHTER
Local League Holds Meeting
SPECTATORS WILL BE SATISFIED
Baseball fans will find the game more enjoyable in the Colony than It has been in the past three seasons as the main issue of the discussion at the meeting held by the Hong Kong Baseball League yesterday dealt with the specta- Lors', polut of view. Mr. Jeitrey Fraser who had been acting as official scorer, had the opportunity during the season of overhearing the complaints of spectators, that umpiring in the League was not❘ satisfactory.
There had been much debating and quarrelling over the decision of an umpire which made the spectators dissatisfied with the progress of the game. In view of this point the League decided that a committee to be formed by the managers of various teams in the League should appoint an official umpire.
Another point was also raised regarding the continuation of a game under anfavourable weather conditions. It was pointed out that one team actually suggested that the ground was too wet for a game and that a mattress should be put round the track.
The President, MẸ William C. Mur, stated that the past season had been * success. There were larger crowds than before? This was due to the great as sistance given by the Royal Navy In loaning the ground. "Had It not been for the Navy we would have been lost." remarked the President. Mr. Fraser was thank- ed for his work as scorer.
The meeting welcomed Mr. W H. Brown as a member and thank-. ed him for the presentation of the "Vogue Trophy" which was award. ed to the Pui Ching team.
A vote of thanks was accorded
to the outgoing committee for their work during the past season.
Oficials elected for the ensuing season were as follows:-Prest dent, William C Mu'r: Hon. Treasurer and Secretary. W. A Smith.
The Bagram Shield, donated by Mr. T. Bagram at the com- mencement of the past season was also won, by the Ful Ching ninė.

OF CONFUCIUS
Local Celebrations
Yesterday was the 2,488th an- niversary Lunar Calendar) of the birthday of Confucius, the great Chinese philosopher and teacher, who lived between 551 B.C. and 478 B.C. at the "time of the Chow Dynasty, when, the country Was divided into a number of small kingdom's.
Although the Nanking Nation- alist Government officially cele- trated Confucius's birthday on August 27 last. many
Chinese schools and the majority of Con- fucians in the Colony celebrated the sage's birthday yesterday,
The day was observed as general holiday amongst the Chinese in the Colony.
Was also a school holiday, and business in the Chinese quarters of the Colony was practically at a stand- still flags and bunting décorations adorned the outside of many of the Chinese shops and buildings.
It
Many of the Chinese depart- mental stores and other firms also arserved the occasion, but the musical concerts usually given by the different business areas were captailed.
Owing to the brutality of the Japanese aggressors in indis- criminately bombing the defence- less inhabitants of the capital and öther cities of the country, and the universal misery and suffering caused by such ruthless and bar- barous acts, the people of China have had no heart to celebrate the birthday of China's great sage of "Peace and Goodwill" this year,

Later he made a report to the
police and according to his story CANTON
the note was stolen. It was later revealed that he went into a Chi nese medicine shop and purchased a cent of pepper and smeared it over himself and gave the report that he was robbed at the junction of Johnston Road and O'Brien Road. Detectives were sent to the scene but no traces of pepper was found and they walked round and found a patch of pepper at the corner of Johnston and Fleming Roads He was then questioned and admitted giving a false report.
