HEAVY SCORING IN COUNTY CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIP

Interesting Baseball Card For Week-End

UNION BREWERS CROSS BATS WITH HONGKONG BASEBALL - OUTFIT

(By "Bingle")

An interesting card is again offered baseball fans this week-end. To-day, at 2.30 p.m., at Caroline Hill, the Hongkong Baseballers cross bats with Beer Baron Ben- nett's Union Brewers. On their way to the flag, the Beermen think this game is a cinch, but I'm thinking otherwise. The Molthenmen have been practising diligently the past few weeks, and the postponements owing to unfavourable weather have aided the Hong-3 kongites not a little in that they have been given extra time for conditioning.

The Brewers haven't lost a tit in two starts, and are picked by the dopisters to take this game from the .nation gal.
