For

Eastern Defeated First Time In Soccer League

South China Defence Too Good for Opposing Attack

(By "Abe")

Unbeaten in three matches, Eastern tasted defeat for the first time in the First Division of the Hongkong Football League yes-- terday when they lost to South China "A" by five goals to nil at Carolino Hill. Expectations of good football from these two teams were not realised: the Carolino Hill men were far superior and, especially towards the end, completely dominated the play.

After play had been in progress for 15 minutes, Kwok Ying-kec put South China in the lead with a fine header from a free kick taken by Tong Kwong-sum. He got his head to the ball as it was saliing towards the goal-mouth and guided it past the out-stretched hands of the East-

BY SHANGHAI Hongkong's Recovery Made Too Late In The Match

(By "Abo")

Shanghai clinched the Interport Lawn Bowla series on Satur- day by winning the third match against Hongkong on the Club de Recreio green. They tied the first match at 20-20, won the second casily by 30-10 and the third by 20-17,

The green was very fast through out. Shanghai had revelled on the short heads, and Hongkong deemed more at home on the long ones. And true to the form displayed earlier on, Shanghal managed to score on this last vital head, taking a single to win by 20-17.

Peculiarly enough, however, it was Omar who gave the best performance of the four. The other three were not as reliable as had been expected.

Afier their win in the Seconа Interport, it was only natural that Shanghal would again rely on Kh Swartzell, J. M. C. Lopes, A. M. Gutierrez and Hugh Wallace (skip) to carry them through. Once again, these four did not let the side down.
