"Needle" Match At Caroline Hill Softball Heavy Conditons Should Favour

Eastern Against S. China To-day "Capt. Foster" Selects

(By "SCRAMBLER")

A GREAT DEAL hinges on the result of the match between Eastern and South China to-day at Caroline Hill, occasioned by the fact that the latter lost to Sing Tao last week, which allowed Eastern to lead them both by a point with the same number of games. Should Eastern draw it would place them on the same footing as Sing Tao, a defeat would mean that South China and Sing Tao would be lovel. ...

The display given by South China last week against Sing Tao did not augur at all well for their game to-day. They were so disjointed that their opponents at the very outset saw through their failings; and made excellent uses

tions of the ground, and if this weather keeps up, they will be up against another team that are always at home under heavy conditions, more so, since most of the Eastern's players are from the North, where playing conditions are very much akin to the present state of our league fixtures for the week-end: grounds.

South Chinn's mode of play is 50 very much like the Eastern's that a quick goal may decide the result of the match for them. Lee Wai-tong was not very impressive as an inside forward, and the reason I think he will make a better leader than Chan Tak-fai is that he has better sense of ball distribution, and a pass to the wing at the right moment may produce just that bit of a push in a capable goal-keeper, being not only pin. #ime of this standard.
