U.B. TO TANGLE WITH CHINESE

BY R. O, Y.

The excellent programme for this week-end should amply make up for the disappointing games of the past fortnight, All, of the lead ing teams will be seen in "action," while the Vas. Mindanao will make up lost ground by engaging in a double header,

At 2.30 this afternoon, the Min- danao gang take on Recreio in the only match of the day." "To-MOITOW morning at 10.00. o'clock, the

Union Brewers and Chinese Base- ballers clash in the opener of a double-hill with the nightcap fea turing Mindanao and South China, at 11.30 a.m.

The Mindanao-Recreio match should be a close affair with the sallor boy's emerging on the long end of the score, by dirtue of their heavier slugging. "Crooner" Ruel" will do mound duty and should have benefitted by nts wo weeks' layoff, but it is doubtful if their inactivity will have tone nt, team- mates any

Best Item

The hest item of the whole card should be the Tintoxi Brewers-Chinese Baseballers fracas, even though Nip Lum has not yet fully recovered from his recent indisposition, the latter are the most likely 2tgregation to dethrone the Brewers, for the benefit of the Mindanao gang. The Chinese appear to be out of the running" for this year's championship honours, but will go all out, to avenge their previous narrow defeat at the hands of the pre- sent league leaders.

Chet Bennett's boys are still -chockfull of confidence, despite their close shave against Bouth China, and expect to retain their unbeaten record. I believe that Earl Wong, with Nip Lum support-

one hurler most capable of hold- ing him behind the plate, is the

ing the Brewers; much will depend on the support given him by the other fielders, who have been none too steady this season, but if they come through in the pinches the Beer Barons are, likely to lose their first points.

Another close struggle should result from the meeting of the Mindanao gang and South China. The sailors will be playing their second game in as many daya,,and the intense next, ne me now gett ing, is not likely to help them any. Charlle Horton will probably draw the hurling, assignment for this battle, and, judging from the, manger in which he has been holding the several visiting aquads from the American battle waggons which put into this port, "Daddy", should have tie aufculty with the light at kork of the Southern Chinese.

Nam Wah are shte to call on the services of Pau Tak, Leung Fu Cho and Chang Pul who have now been registered for the required period of two weeks. I have, little informa

The South China, boys, have com
