ANOTHER FINE PERFORMANCE BY THE U.B. OUTFIT

THOMAS SCORES TWO HOME RUNS FOR MINDANAO INTERPORT SOCCERITES IN SOUTH CHINA TEAM

(By "Blngle")

Fans got their money's worth over the week- and when three swoll games were played at Caro- line Hill. Upsetting the predictions of all the doposters, the Hongkong Baseballers, led by Doc Molthon, were only defeated 8 to 6 by the youth- ful Chinese Baseball Club, instead of the wide margin that was expected on Saturday.

It cannot be said that the Chinese lads did not have a strong team out there on Saturday. Included in their line-up was former first base man Wilbur Woo, of Pul Ching Academy, but they miscued vix times to play very scratchy ball.

Earl Weng, who starred in the first game he played for Chung Hwa, was replaced by versatile Wally Ching, who held the Hongkongites scoreless and hit-less
