(By "Tinker")

WEMBLEY, relatively speaking, had nothing on Caroline Hill yaster- day when South China “A” met the Eastern F.C. in the first big match of the local League. The crowds overflowed from the stands on to the ground and bordored the pitch. Hundreds were turned away at the gates, while the hillside surrounding the ground could not be seen for people. For a good two hours before the commencement of the match, overy bus and tram, to Causeway Bay was full before reaching, the central district.

South China "A" won by two goals to one, which was somewhat flattering to the Eastern, considering that for at least twenty-five of the thiry-five minutes of the second half the South China forwards were continuously around the Eastern penalty area, threatening but never succeed- ing. Fullest honours of the game go to the Eastern defenders. They stood up against a most gruelling task. HERE might have been al++++÷~|~||~|~||~||~||~~~~~hecherchefensenshot

BRILLIANT GOLF BY NEW CHAMPION

(By "Birdie")

J. T. SMITH, of the Dockyard, has the distinction this year of being the Amateur Champion of the Colony, It is a distinction that is made the more glorious by the fact that his score of 734-74147, I believe, is a record for the Hongkong Championship, and his morning round of 73 on the Old Course were par figures. Second was F. D. Hunter with 78-78156-nine strokes behind.

Thrilling Win For Club Over Strong Army XV

(By "Fly-half"")

IF the first game may be taken as an indication of the standard of rugby for this season, rugby supporters will be satisfied. Army have at last got out of the rut. Though beaten on Saturday by the narrow margin of four points, it was not until the final whistle went that hopes of an Army victory were dashed.
