LOCAL FOOTBALLERS GETTING INTO THEIR STRIDE

RETURNED SOUTH CHINA PLAYERS DEFEAT "REST" Losers Miss Chances In Opening Period

(Br "Abo")

Indications were not lacking at Caroline Hill yesterday that local footballers are now getting Woll into their stride.

Seventy minutes of interesting soccer were seen when the returned South China A.A. playors. dofeated a Rost of the Colony XI by 4-1. The South China mon, of course, have been hard at practice during their tour and were by far the fit- tor team; but the Rest players, who have not yet begun their League season, showed up much bet- tor than had been expected, and though they were beaten, they played extremely well, especially in the first half.

The match was definitely the best seen in the Colony, so far this sea- sun. Play was inst and interesting Uroughout, and the oxchanges were very oven in the first period. Rain fell during the interval and the second half was played in a continu- Dus drizzle.

Bowls Successes By Club de Rocroio

By virtue of their 27-shot victory over the Hongkong Electric at North Point on Saturday, the Club de Recreio, who have already carried off the First Division champion- ship, won the Third Division Bowls League title as well.

Congratulations to the Re-, creip players on their splendid performances.

Last year they won the First and Second Division champion- ships. This year they have had two teams in the First Division and one in the Third; and thus they have been successful in both the sections in which they competed,

However, their "B" team in the First Division is still in danger of being relegated. They are now two points ahead of Heintzelman pitched for the Pirates, Kowloon Docks, who have a
