The resumption of play saw Maclougall (K.O.S.B.) sáve well from a concentrated attack by the Artillery. At the other end Fletcher was called upon to save shots from Davey and McGlinchey in rapid succession. Stock, how- ever, sent in a first timer that had Fletcher beaten.
Although the state of the ground made control of the ball very difficult, some fine football was displayed by both elevens, and the R.A. were always attack- ing, though their forwards lacked the finish of the Borderers.

SPORT IN BRIEF
PRESENTATION FUND FOR MR. WALL
This would be a very difficult thing to do in the case of a "ean- non-ball" serve by Gerald Patterson or W. T. Tilden, but in such case the official would have to watch the line.
This judgment was given by-an- expert at an extraordinary general meeting of the Lawn Tennis Um- pires' Association in London, called so that the question of eye tests for umpires and linesment could be considered.
As a result of the meeting, we may expect an attempt to dispel those tense moments on the centre. court at Wimbledon when a wrong decision is greeted with groans from the spectators.

not a question of mere silence. It was a question of saying some- thing, making the most misleading statement possible, settlement which for cleverness took a lot of beating. WAS a statement not exciting attention. but one which would be valuable later if his actions should come up for inquiry.
There were five occasions 013 which Tsang could have spoken and he did not speak.
Then Mr. Messer
OT someone instituted a kind of inquiry and the stub of the checce book was brought in Tsang had all the material for an explanation with him and yet he said nothing. An- other occasion on which he could have spoken that day was when Mr. Black himself had to make the discovery that thirty cheques were also missing from another book. Tsang said nothing about it.
When Mr. Black came back from the bank and made the astounding pronouncement that thirty cheques werr short in the second book Tsang did not speak then.
Mr. Jenkin concluded his address after having spoken for four hours and a quarter.
