City's stronghold.
It is difficult to determine which will triumph owing to the uncer Lainty of the Semi-Final draw, but if they should prove opponents at Wembley I should favour the chances of the London team, though that Club has neve yet won the trophy,
Edinburgh will stage a "derby" Fame when the Hibs and the Hearts meet, and the latter team should win a keen struggle in which the sup porters of both
sides will play no small part.
It is thought in many quarters that the Hearts are going to win the Cup this year for the first time since the 1905-6 season.
Kilmarnock, last year's finalists and this year's conquerors of the holders, Glasgow Rangers, will be featured in probably the best match of the whole programme. They are entertaining Motherwell, League champlona. It should prove a magnificent struggle in which ground advantage should just turn the scales. Motherwell's lapse in the League at the present moment may be a significant pointer to their ambition of lifting the Cup for the first time, but their team do not in the Cup tie my opinion possess temperament.

Kumjahn saw Tsui's weakness when on the run and early in the match kept him running from on❤ side of the court to the other with successful results. Taui becomes even more careless when he is for- ced to chase a ball, and it was his desire to bring off a winner in these cases that cost him the match.
He adopted attack as the best

STOKER REYNOLDS MAY BE A CHAMPION
Beats Dutchman On Points Decision.
London, Jan. 31. Stoker Reynolds, the Portsmouth welterweight, who is challenging Jack Hood for the British title, de- feated Huib Huizenaat, the Dutch champion, on points in a ten-round. fight at Portsmouth on Wednesday night. The Dutchman proved to be a clever boxer with a good defence and a flashing left hand. It was with this left hand that he fre- quently connected with Reynolds's Saw in the early rounds, but when the sailor had warmed to his work he. forced the pace and built up, a decisive lead,
Huizenaar tried hard to defy his opponent's battering-ram attacks, but gradually began to tire and was warned for holding by the re- feree, Mr. Moss Deyong. Hulze- naar gave a plucky display against La stronger, agd better, baker, and.. received a special ovation from the fcrowd.
Reynolds's improvement is shown by the fact that when he met Huf- senaar at Bristol a year ago he' could only earn' a draw, and on Wednesday the Dutchman did not show any signs that his boxing had", deteriorated.
