KING'S WARDEN FAVOURED TO BEAT ELECTRIC STAR TO-DAY
SOCCER TREAT FOR
SHANGHAI?
S. CHINA “B” TO PLAY THREE GAMES
AWAITING SHANGHAI ANSWER
(By "REFEREE")
THERE IS EVERY POSSIBILITY THAT WHILE HONG KONG, SOCCER ENTHUSIASTS ARE ENTERTAINING SHANG- HAI'S INTERPORT FOOTBALL TEAM NEXT YEAR, DURING THE CHINESE NEW YEAR, SHANGHAI FOLLOWERS OF THE GAME WILL PROBABLY BE WITNESSING THE SOUTH SEVERAL CHINA "B" TEAM IN A PROGRAMME OF MATCHES.
I was informed yesterday that the Association had already written to the China National Federation in Shanghai with a view to South China "B" at present running second in the premier League to their "A" team - playing three matches against the best teams that Shanghai are able to produce.
".]
THE LOCAL ASSOCIATION FEEL THAT THEIR "B"" TEAM WILL NOT BE WANTED FOR ANY IMPORTANT GAMES DURING THE INTER- PORT PERIOD, AND ARE OF THE OPINION THAT GAMES AGAINST THE BEST NORTHERN SIDES WILL DO MUCH TO IMPROVE THEIR STANDARD OF PLAY.

Electric Star is unreliable over any- thing above 11⁄4 miles, but is quite capable of win- ning, Tiny Star will be faced with stern opposi- tion, and Able Amazon, the only one I favour, is up against a big proposition in Bag Tor.
No stable or jockey has had the honour of winning the three elassics on the same day, though Mr. Frost came within 2 lengths of doing so when The Giraffe was beaten by Polar Star in the 1932 Freemantle St. Leger, Only two ponies-Liberty Bay and Trentbridge-have won the Derby and St. Leger.
