Baseball Notes

Chung Hwa Maroons Improved Display

South China Downed

6-3:

Steady Hurling

By Moundsman Al Lau

A real bitter mixture of bad rainy weather and front office upheaval, coupled with the ab- sence of the Asheville-Tulsa combination from port was enough to limit the wook-end baseball card to one solitary game, as the former seven team loop continued to limp its way toward the season's end.

Chung Hwa's fighting Maroons clipped through with another win as they set the South China gang down 6-3, It was the second Maroon win in the "All Chinese classics."

DESPITE having altalsed a lead

They staged a rally, however, and two quick goals and then a long shot from Ure from over the half- way line saw them draw level at Morocca 4-all.
