INTERPORT SOCCER
SHANGHAI SELECTED TEAM ANNOUNCED
HONG KONG XI v. ARMY
}
A cable states that the Shang- hai F.A. has chosen the team to
play in Hong Kong on Monday, Feb. 11, in the Interport match "proper" against Hong Kong, as follows:-
E. David (Recreation Club); W. E. Palmer (Recs.), T. W. Wilson (Recs.);
J. W. Pote-Hunt (Shanghai F.C.), S. V. Gash (Police), Costa (Portuguese S.A.);
Favacho (Portuguese), A. C. Sinclair (S.F.C.), Pte. Wright (fat Вл. Northants Regt.), Turner, L. F. Stokes (S.F.C.).
Turner, one of the forwards, was not mentioned in the list of fifteen sent down originally, the other ten of that, fifteen being F. V. Read (Recs.). Pte. Moore (1st Bn. Northants Regt.), Duffy (Police), R. Baxter (S.F.C.), Pte. Jones (1st Bn. Northanta Regt.).
Local Practice
The Interport. XI, Hong Kong (with Hill of the Queen's Regt. playing at half back in place of Lam Yuk-ying) defcated a strong Army XI by four goals to two.
Suen Kam-shun and Gosano scored for Hong Kong. Stock re- duced the lead. After half-time, the Army lost one man, injured, but Leach equalised. Fung King- cheung then scored twice.
Hong Kong played well but did not deserve to win by two goals. The Army were virile but faulty in marksmanship.
KOWLOON F.C. 2ND XI FOR SATURDAY
The following will represent the Kowloon 2nd Eleven against the Chinese Athletic Reserves on the
PORT OF GOTHENBURG
The only harbour which in Northern Europe prior to the war had a greater traffic than Gothen- burg, according to a correspon- dent of "Goteborgs Handelstid- ning," was Copenhagen. In 1913 the latter had an incoming traffic of about 4,200,000 net tons, ex- cluding the purely local traffic with Malmo, whereas the figures for Gothenburg were 3,500,000 tons. On the other hand the cor- responding figures for 1927 are 5,100,000 tons and 5,300,000 tons in the two cases respectively, so that Gothenburg shows an in- crease of 51 per cent. as compared with only 21 per cent. in the in- stance of Copenhagen. In other words Gothenburg has advanced to the leading position among the Northern harbours.
Aa to the causes which have led to the more favourable develop- ment of traffic at Gothenburg, the that these correspondent states
are due in the first place to the cir- cumstances that the transit trade has now had to give way to what may be called the trade with the hinterland or upland. Already be- fore the war the tendency to greater efforts to get as direct connections as possible was per- ceptible, and at present this de- mand has come forward all the stronger. To a large extent Copenhagen has based her har- bour policy with respect to the transit traffic, and as this has diminished it la quite obvious that stagnation in harbour activity takes place. The harbour, which has the largest upland from a pro- ductive or consumptive standpoint is claimed to be Gothenburg, which has now risen, as already mentioned, to the chief port in the 'North.
Concerning other large har. bours the correspondent states that the traffic at Stockholm in the same period (1918-1927) has only increased by 10 per cent, while Malmo has not yet again reached the level of the figures in 1919.
