Ponies Provide Useful Information For Future Racing

Last Saturday's racing was not only excellent, but gave us some good line for the future. The running of some China ponies, spécially among the batch of subcription griffins of this season, showed clearly the difference between handicap and class form.

SETTLES ISSUE OF SENIOR SOCCER TIE

With rain falling intermittently and the ground sod- den, conditions were far from ideal yesterday afternoon when Eastern met the Royal Scots in the First Division of the Hongkong Football League on the Club ground. The surface was so slippery that to keep on one's feet was difficult and as a result good ball control was more or less out of the question.
