Lee Tin-sang Fractures Arm In Collision
Brilliant Defence Play
THE POWERFUL CHINESE XI sustained their second major defeat of the season yesterday at Causeway Bay when they lost to the Army by four goals to one in the semi-finals of the Lai Wah Cup. The victors thoroughly deserved their win, for on the day's play they were undoubtedly the better team. The game was marred by an un- ********* | fortunate accident to that veteran player, Lee Tin-sang, who in a collision in the second half of the game with Owens, sustained a fractured arm. The game was featured by the splendid defence put up by both sides, and the excellent goalkeeping of the two keepers. Extra time was necessary before a decision was 78 arrived at, and the staying power of the Army players, 10 coupled with the fact that the Chinese were playing with
only ten men, spelt defeat for the latter,

HAVING been told that owing to the holidays, space is short and that I must not write to any great length, I am afraid I shall do less than justice to the détails of the Junior Division cricket.
The key match was the victory of the K.C.C. over Recreio, who had been going strong. The batting of the home side absolutely curled up except for M. A. Temedios (28) and F. J. Remedios (20).
