The three fitting-out berth. vessels are the first constructed for the China Navigation Com- pany at Taikoo Dock to be fitted with goared turbine engines. After the ceremony the Kwang- tung was toasted.

BASEBALL.

The Local's Team. That the Bizal baseball team is determined to win on Saturday, is borne out by the fact that Mej Lanzia will pitch and several alterations bave been made in the lineup of the sailormen.

On the other hand the locals are wondering who will fill the shoes of Church and Potter. Church has been transferred tem- porarily to Canton, while Potter left for America this afternoon on the Ixion.

The practice to be held to-night | will see Benson or Nelson on third and Koch in right field. Several candidates for the team have shown up suprisingly well during the past two weeks, and from the interest that these new- comers show, it is evident that there will be considerable com- petition for a steady berth on the club.

Preparations are under way to

i play a picked team a week from

Saturday.

With some difficulty the man was recovered from the waser but was so exhausted that he died while on the way to the Govern ment Civil Hospital in the motor ambulance.

A runner employed by the Ki. sang Boarding House was yes- terday drawned while endeavour- ing to board the steamer Sui Tai. Before the vessel had made fust alongside the wharf and the gangway had been lowered, the deceased, who was an enterpris-
