BRITISH SOLDIERS TURN TO BASEBALL

Engineers Trounce Royal Scots

(By "Bingle")

Twenty-nine safeties off the easy offerings of five Royal Scots, plus nine bobbles, cost the Jocks the first baseball game played against the Royal Engineers, 36 to 5, when they met yesterday_at Murray Parade Ground. In- cidentally, this is the first base- ball game played in Hongkong by two British regiments.

Starting with four runs in the first canto, the Scots looked as though they might put up a better showing, but the Sappers came back with twenty-two runs on sixteen hits in the same Inning to salt the game away on ice.

There weren't so many miscues. considering the fact that only about three of the Seats had ever played this sport before, but their pitchers couldn't and the plate while their batters were swinging at all the bad as well as the good ones.

The teams are the chief rivals.for the Dunlop Shield and the winners to-day will almost certainly go on to win the championship.
