China 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, specially 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. Nevertheless during the 70 minutes of football, no fewer than seven goals were scored, the Chinese beating the soldiers by the odd goal

A peculiar feature of the game was the number of scoring opportunities missed, but this was due almost entirely to the players' Inability to control the ball.

The glorious uncertainty of racing was witnessed in the Tylam Handi- cap (first section) over a mile for Chilna ponies, subscription grims, when Musketeer (who finished third) went under badly to King Kong and Strathbannock. It was certainly a big surprise for King Kong as the Sony had only a win at the Annual Race Meeting. It must, however, not be overlooked that King Kong had a pull of 23 lbs. against Mus keteer and the difference of weights was too much for the Valley Stakes winner to concede, Apart from the interest shown in the first handicap round of their scheduled 15-round event, with a field containing win bout. ners und placed, subscription griffins
