A sparse crowd of ball fans wore given a real “Tur- kish Delight," when Mindanao's hot-favoured champions temporarily side-tracked the road to Ponnantvillo, taking a 7-4 loss, as Larry Lawrence hurled brilliant ball to load the marauding Mo-- hawks to victory.

Completing the "programme of upsets," South China's "down going" ball tossers switched on the "going- up" green light, taking the Royal Engineers into camp, 8-7, for their first win of the year.
