SOUTH CHINA "A" BEATEN 2-1 BY EASTEN ELEVEN

LEAGUE HOPES JEOPARDISED

BY REVERSE

(By "Abo")

South China "A". lost two valuable points in their race for the First Division championship of the Football League with the Navy when they were dofcated by two goals to one by Eastern on the Club ground yesterday. On the day's performance, they fully deserved to lose: their opponents were the nippier side and took full advantage of their opportunities in the first half.

The absence of Li Tin-song from his arctistomed position at left back inile a considerable difference in the South China defence, which was very shaky right through. Leung Wing-chiu, who took over Li's berth, obviously was not happy in his new position, and after Eastern had taken a lend of 2-0, he changel over with Len Kwok-wal, who made for better job of it.

Nevertheless, Ll's steadying in fluence was inlased badly. South China's defenders yesterday were far too flustered, especially after their apponents had forged ahead, and in a way, the Caroline Hill men were lucky to get away with such a nar- row defeat,

Schmeling Arst said that his visit to New York was a combination of business and pleasure, but it is now reported that he is angling for a return fight with the negro champion.

CLUB RUGBY SIDE

MUCH TOO GOOD FOR REST FIFTEEN Happy Augury For Next Saturday's Interport

(By "Fly-Iat(")

On Saturday afternoon on the Club ground, the team picked to represent the Club to play in the Interport against Malaya which takes place next Saturday, met a team drawn from the Rest of the Colony. It was obvious from the kick-off that Club would have a comfortable victory in view of the fact that not one of the regu lar Navy players was included in the Rest team; and so it proved.

However, the game was far from | Berry and Boe kleked penalty Rest.
