ST. JOHN'S BADMINTON
THREAT IN MEN'S
"B" DIVISION
FREE LANCES WIN AT HOME AGAINST C.R.C.
PLAYING under very bad conditions at the Seamen's Institute last night, the Chinese Recreation Club was beaten by 5 games to 4 by the Free Lances, in the "B" Division of the Men's Doubles Badminton League.
The match was played on a mat, while the surrounding walls were of such a colour that it was difficult, and sometimes impossible, for the players to follow the flight of the stuttlecock.
However, the Free Lances having no court of their own, will have to continue playing home matches un- der these poor conditions throughout the season, unless, permission is given, allowing them to make some improvements in the econditions.

STRONG SERVICES ELEVEN TO MEET → REST OF COLONY RIVAL FORWARD LINES WILL BE FEATURED
INTERPORTERS IN THE MAKING
(By UBIQUE")
THE Annual Charity football game, in aid of Earl Haig's Fund, will be played this afternoon be tween the Combined Services and the Rest of the
Colony, on the Club ground, and as both teams are
well balanced, one of the most interesting repre sentative games of the season should be witness
The Rest team has been well selected. Wong Wing doubtedly the best goalkeeper available and with Lee Ti and Coste in front of him, should not have very much to intermediate line is strong with Bliss, who is now playing on Ih top of his form, in the pivotal position, supported by Leung chui, on the right, and Parker, on the left. - It is interesting to that, with the exception of Costa, the whole of the Rest defence consists of past Interporters.
The inclusion of Fung King-cheong and Lai Shui-wing in sup- port of F. Fowler in the centre forward position, will guarante support for the latter. Fowler has a good burst of speed, can shoot. well and uses his head to advantage, but has not received the best of support from his Club colleagues and this will be an excellent chance for him to show what he really can do.
Han Ching to, the Eastern left- winger, is very inconsistent but should he be on form, he should be the source of great danger to the Services defence. Castilho, on the right wing, makes his debut in a representative game, The entire proceeds of this game but is a doubtful-starter owing will be donated to the to an injury sustained last week Poppy Day Fund, and the ball-
