OUR GUIDE TO THE CINEMAS

BASEBALL BECOMING POPULAR Encouraged In The British Army

Baseball, which is being encourag ed as a sport in the British Army, is fast gaining in popularity simong the Services in the Colony. On Tuesday the second team of the Royal' En- gineers met Headquarters Wing of The Royal Scots, winning 20-19.

Scoring was rather inconsistent in spite of the cluse Onish at the enl of the sixth inning, when a three tally by the Sappers gave them victory by a nose.

Taylor commenced in the box for the Sappers with Boddy behind the batter, but both were yanked out in the third innings in favour of Box and Taylor, respectively. Lane and Smith were the opening battery for Royal Scots, but the former was sent to the showers in the fourth and was relieved by Phillips.
