HOCKEY INTERPORT AT MACAO, 1-0, WAS KEEN GAME Hongkong Showed Its Worth On A Slippery Ground

Attack Was Reward

REED AND WRIGHT WERE BIG

ASSETS FOR VISITORS

By Our Own Correspondent

Macao, Mar. 7. THE

THE Fourth Interport hockey

encounter between Hongkong and Macao took place this afternoon and, despite weather conditions, attracted 2,000 spectators.

The ground was sodden and slippery and prevented the local forwards from exercising their expert combina- tion. Although a hard game was played by Macao, they fell before the Hongkong attack by the only goal, scored three minutes before the close of play.

Play was extremely fast from the outset and a pitch and toes battle ensued early in the game.

Exchanges formed the greater part of the game on either side and both defences intercepted admirably.

Hongkong commenced the loss of the father of Macau hockey attack and Wright, inside right, would be a severe blow to focal spori, placed a fast shot for Fowler, the chairman for his remarks.

Lietil O'Custa, replying, thanked outside right, who was unluckygarding the gaine that had just been to miss.

BRADDOCK TALKS OF RESIGNING

AND PROMOTING LOUIS- SCHMELING FIGHT

New York,

JAMES J. BRADDOCK, world heavy-weight champlon, who is under contract to defend his title against Max Schmeling, but prefers the more lucrative meet- ing with Joe Louis, may over- come the difficulties of his posi- tion by resigning the title, pro- moting a fight between Schme- ling and Louis for the champion- ship, and challenging the winner.

The proposal is that Braddock should get a third of the net receipts of the Louis-Schmeling title fight, which would probably give him more than he would get from a boycotted fight with Schmeling.

Braddock's fight with the winner would probably draw a million- doliar gate.

Meanwhile, on account of the re- ports that the promoters, Mike Jacobs, of the Twentieth Century Club, the linols Sporting Club,

WEEK-END OF UPSETS WAS

FEATURE OF FOOTBALL

Puzzling results featured the English and Scottish football encounters Saturday. Arsenal eliminated from the F. A. Cup in an away match at West Bromwich, and Tottenham went down surprisingly to Preston in a home game. Millwall beat Manchester City, but Wolves and Sunderland fought a one-all draw.

The most surprising result of the first division of the English League was the defeat of the leaders. Charlton, by the lowly placed Wednesday, and Stoke falled against Manchester United. There has been practi- cally no reshang of the league table, however, although Middlesborough have jumped to fourth place.

Results in the second division were much as expected, but in the southern section of the third division. Aldershot, who have been at the bottom of the 1st for the season, sprang a surprise on Bristol City by beating them three-nit. Brighton has changed places with Notts County at the head of the lat and Luton have dropped to fourth, following defeat by Bournemouth.

Stockport, leaders of the northern section, went down two-one to Carlisle in a home game, and have been replaced at the head of the table by Lincoln, who beat Mansfield in a home game. There were many upsets in this division, Barrow beating Darlington, Accrington accounting for Hallax and Gateshead beating Rochdale. There has been a big re-arrangement of the League table as a result.

Two games in the first division of the Scottish League were not played, and there has been little change In the League table, the first six places being the same as last week. Ayr have gone further ahead second division, and there were no surprises in the resulta.
