Finish was written to the Second Division of the Foreign Y.M.C.A. Invitation Volleyball League when the two postponed matches were played off last night. The first tussle, between the divisional leaders, Sokol, and the First Battalion, U.S. Marines, failed to materialize owing to the non-appearance of the service men. The Russians, therefore, received a walkover and completed the scaser schedule without suffering any loss in a total of seven engagements.
he second tussle on last night's programme resulted in the Tigers defeating the Second Battalion Marines by 15-13 and 15-4. The "Leathernecks," as a result of defeat, tie for second place in the second league., The match began with a severe struggle in the opening game. The Chinese gained a slight lead but the Mines rallied in time and levelled the score at 5 all. Here the Tigers went on a spree which pushed the margin to 9-5. The battalion sextette again counter-attacked. However, the leaders succeeded in escaping unscathed by gaining the majority of points which helped to close the frame. In the second session the victors had no difficulty in outplaying their opponents winning substantially by 15-4.
TIGERS:—S. Liu, T. Gee
