Recreio were without a fixture last week and the rest may have had beneficial results. B.

The results of league matches during the past week have again lone little to cause any change in the positions of Clubs in the tables. There was one big surprise and that was the big improvement shown by the Police in taking a point from Kowloon on the latter's ground. The peninsular team were far below standard during the first half and deserved to be in arrears at the interval. A fine recovery inclusions with Athletic which the whole team took part enabled it to make up a two goal de ficit before the finish and leave the field on level terms.

Remarking that there was great danger of there being fixed in the public mind a belief that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, Mr. T. M. Hazlerigg at the Central Magistracy this morning repeated that he found dif- ficulty in differentiating between po piu lottery tickets and sweeps.

He explained the importance at- turned to refereeing at Home in the large League matches and said that whereas each county was regarded as a separate entity, the Army was taken as a whole and given the same standing as a county in the league.
Teaching for Referees
Evidence for the prosecution was that the girl was arrested in the street yesterday, following informa- tion, and the lottery tickets were found on her person. The tickets were of a local lottery due to be drawn to-day. The prosecution took a serious view of the case in spite of the girl's age.
After making the remarks mon- tioned above, his Worship gaid that he would take into consideration the fact that the girl had been in the cell for one night and dis charged her with a caution.
