Purtugal's team remained unchanged, but owing to the in- ability of the three Borderers players selected to turn out, the Welch Fusiliers very sportingly fielded their First Division side at short notice. Keating, Ellis and Keneghan taking the places of Roberts, Jones and Davies.
Although Portugal won by a fairly wide margin, they were forced to fight every inch of the way, the Welch defence putting up

HINA defeated England by 3 goals to 2 in a very poor game of soccer yesterday, when the two teams met in the semi-final round of the "Sunday Herald" International Charity Cup competition, which was played before a huge crowd at the Valley.
Ball decisions by the linesmen and referee resulted in frayed tempers, which ultimately ruined what first promised to be an excellent encounter. Some of the decisions given were out- rageously had, and it is no wonder that the Chinese team had the sympathy of practically all the spectators.
