NO BASEBALL MATCH

FOR TO-DAY: MINDANAO NOT IN HARBOUR

BUT TWO GAMES FIXED FOR TO-MORROW'S BILL

(By "Bingle")

To-day's game, scheduled between Chinese Baseballers and U. S. S. Mindanao, has been can- colled, as the gunboat left for Canton yesterday and will not return until some time to-night. Efforts to arrange another game proved unavail- ing, so fans will be disappointed. At any rate, the uncertain weather would make the planning of a tilt a haphazard endeavour, at best.
