(lly "Abe")

If the form shown by the Chinese Y.M.C.A. players last night at the Eu Tong-sen Gymnasium is any in- dication of their usual standard, they will not lag far behind University "A" and Club de Recreio "A" in the "A" Division of the Badminton League this season.

K. H. Goh and C. 5. Loke were the most impressive University pair.

Crushing Defeat Of Kowloon C.C.

By H.K.C.C. Losers' Weakest Point Lies In Bowling

(By "R. Abbit")

When the Club and K.C.C. game was continued on Saturday last, one hoped from the spectators's point of. view, that Hayward would not enforce the follow on. However, it was the proper game to put Kowloon in again and he did so, giving them the not impossible task of getting 180 runs to save the innings defeat, and 300 odd if they were going to make an attempt to pull the match out of the fire. The weather was perfect and there appeared to be nothing wrong with the wicket. Just for a few minutes I nursed the new bowler sent down rather a faint hope they might do it.

The Koh brothers, though not an ideal combination, are nevertheless not a pair to be baslly beaten, With F. Kol displaying a powerful smash from the rear court, and H. Kob dis- guising his shots well at the net, they also proved too good for their oppositions.
