ROYAL SCOTS DEFEATED BY SOUTH CHINA "A" 5-3
Cricket replay Described by "R. Abbit"
Defensive Tactics Saved the Indians
A beautiful day was given us for the play off of the I.R.C. v. Craigengower match. There was one surprise-the wicket on the Club ground was pitched athwart-ships from Queen's Rond to Chater Road-a thing I had not seen since 1922 though I am told it took place also in 1927. The pitch looked good. The only change I noticed was that Ismail Ali came in for Bakar who was on the sick list. I gather Minu put C.C.C. in.

CAROLINE HILL MEN DESERVED THEIR VICTORY
FASTER ON THE BALL AND SHOT BETTER
(By "Abe")
South China “A” deserved their 5-3 win over the Royal Scots at Sookunpoo yesterday in the First Division of the Hongkong Football League. Yards faster on the ball than their opponents, they also combined better as a team and their final victory, follow- ing a lead of 4-1 at the interval, was expected.
On the run of the day's play, the| Royal Scots netually were fortunate to obtain three goals against a de- fence which allowed little to get past it in the first half; but an Improve- ment on the part of the Scots in the second period, coinelding with falling-off by the Chinese, mude this possible.
But for over-elaboration by the Chinese forwards, their score might have been appreciably increased. Lai Shlu-wing Fung King-cheung and Tang Kwong-sum were the greatest offenders in this respect, especially in the second half when, instead of making a bee-line for goal, they Indulged in too much inter- passing.
Apart from his one fault, Fung was In splendid form. He distributed his passes well and made numerous openings for Lal Shiq-wing, but the Inside right, us has been his wont In recent weeks, was definitely off- colour and failed to make use of hin opportunities, though admittedly he had atrocious luck in the first half with two drives, one of which struck the cross-bar and the other saved by Duncan,
Magnificent GOAL
H. D. Rumjahn To Play T. A. Pearce
H. D. Rumjahn, holder of the Colony tennis title, will be seen in action to-day in a third- round match against T. A. Pearce at the Hongkong C.C. Although the latter plays quite a useful game, it is doubtful whether he will present a ser- ious threat to the champion. The winner will meet W. C. Hung in the quarter-finals.
Only one other match is down for decision to-day. It is the oft-postponed, tie bc- tween H. Owen Hughes and S. S. Hussain in the first round. This match has been arranged several times, but on each oc- casion was put off owing to inclement weather and illness.
