The Chinese Baseballers figure that they were unlucky to lose to the Brewers, at their first meeting of the season, and, with the help of Chaney Chan, George Wu, Hank Chang, "Dynamo" Ho and Bill Hong Bling of South China, should go very close to inflicting defeat on Chet Bennett's champions.

REGULAR BATTERY

The regular Chinese Baseballers battery, of Earl Wong and Nip Lum will be seen in action. Wally Ching. Tommy Chan, Richard Chung. P. F. Choy, Wilbur Wu and Bill Woo will round out the side. Many will favour, the Chinese to win, but whatever happens a tense struggle should result. After this match the Union Brewers will turn up in full force at the wedd- ing of Jindoo Hussain who has spent more of his time courting than playing ball this year. The Benedicts of the local diamond. will heartily welcome the addition of this popular sportsman to their ranks.
