THE CHINA MAIL, APRIL 10, 1939
Kotewall Cup Clash To-Day
CHINESE FAVOURED TO BEAT ARMY
The second game of the Kotewall Charity Cup Competition will be played this afternoon at 4 p.m. at Causeway Bay when Army meet South China.
The Chinese will be led by Lee Wai-tong though it is doubtful whether Mak Shui-hon will be able to play as he was an absentee in Saturday's shield game, being ill with fever. In this event, Lee Kwok-wai will be seen at left back with Kwok Ying-kee in. the interme- diate line.
Several new players in represen- tative soccer will be seen in the Army line-up especially in the in- termediate line. Shaw, of the En- gineers, will occupy the pivotal position and will be supported by May, of the Royal Artillery, and Rides, of the Ordnance, as his wing halves.
In the forward line Emberson and Courtney, both selected players. for Manila at the end of the month, will form the right-wing, combina- tion, while Saw and Duffield, who have played together, before, will be on the left-wing.
The following are the teams:- Army: Duncan (Royal Scots); Fraser (Royal Scots) and Sheehan (Middle- sex); Rides (Ordnance Corps), Shaw (R.E.) and May (R.A.); Eniberson (Ordnance Corps), Courtney (Middle- sex), Calvert (R.A.), Saw (Middlesex) and Duffield (Ordnance Corps).
Reserves; Moxham (R.E.), Corbin (R.A.), Wilkinson (Middlesex), Guy (R.A.), Flanders (R.A.), McDonald (R. Scots) and Lang (Ordnance Corps).

DANAHAR'S FIRST FIGHT AS Lawn Tennis
WELTER-WEIGHT
Arthur Danahar (Bethnal "Green) is to have his first- fight as a welter-weight against Harry Craster (Middesbrough) at Harringay on April 13. He has been matched to meet Craster over eight rounds at 10st 7lbs in the chief supporting bout to the Tommy Farr-Red Burman contest.
Danahar decided to fight in future as a welter-weight fol- lowing his unsuccessful bid to capture Eric Boon's light- weight championship.

COCHET NARROWLY BEATS MASKELL
(By AIR MAIL)
Dan Maskell, the British Davis Cup coach, and the only British- er in the event, missed by a single point what would have been the best victory of his career in the £1500 Professional Lawn Tennis Tournament, at Olympia, London. Playing Henri Cochet, the Frenchman, who was Wimbledon champion in 1927 and 1929, Mankell reached 5-4 and match-point in the final set. One more point would have given him a great win, but then Cochet made a brilliant back- hand parsing shot, drew up to 5-all,
