SOUTH CHINA "B" BEATEN IN THEIR BOBBY JONES RECORD

LAST SOCCER LEAGUE GAME

ROYAL SCOTS IN FINE FORM AT SOOKUNPOO

Though the issue was in doubt until almost the final whistle, the Royal Scots undoubtedly deserved their victory over South China “B” in the First Division of the Hongkong Football Loague at Sookunpoo yesterday. Loading by two goals to one at half-time, they eventually won by 3-1.

The game was fast and keen, and except for one, short period when tempers became, a trife frayed, play was always interesting. Two penal

EQUALLED BY YOUNG PROFESSIONAL GOLFER

London, Mar. 3.

After an interval of 13 years Bobby Jones' record round of 58 on the Old course at Sunningdale has been equalled.
