THE CHINA MAIL, JULY 17, 1941.
Bacause of the coupon problem in buying cricket shirts and trousers, two military teams provided an extraordinary sight during a recont match. Canadians of the R.A.M.C. chal- lenged the R.A.S.C. to turn out for a match in pyjamas, thus starting a new fashion in sporting attire. The latter accepted the challenge on condition that R.A.M.C. would wear pyjamas at a forthcoming baseball match. Our photograph shows the FL.A.8.C. team, clad in pyjamas, going out to field in the match.

EASTERN'S SURPRISE DECISION
By "Referee” Yesterday's cable report that Eastern's touring football team are so taken
up with Australia that they intend applying for permission to remain there and play as a team has caused a considerable stir in Chinese football circles, particularly among the Shanghai element.
Though Eastern were the club granted official permission by the Football Association to make the tour, a number of Sing Tao play- ers are included in the side.
Should the players not return, Eastern and Sing Tao will be greatly affected and will hardly be able to raise a side for First Division, as most of their junior players are not yet up to the required standard.
Permission for the tour was granted on the strict under. standing that the party were back in Hong Kong by the first week in September.
F.A. Meeting
Football Association met Jast night to decide the composition of the various divisions of the League, and it will be a pity, after ncluding Eastern and Sing Tao in First Div sion, if these two teams are unable to fulf their fixtures.
Mr Sze Po-wal, committee member of Eastern, said that he was surprised at the report. It was only recently that he cabled to Mr. manager of the Chang Fook-yu, touring team, informing him that he, Chung Fook-yu, had again been elected manager at the annual meeting. Kowloon C.C. Win
was received from Chang a few days ago that Eas- tern would be concluding their fixtures soon, and would be in Hong Kong in time for the start of the League,

Little Credence
A Sing Tao official last night said that he was certain there was little truth in the report. Permis- rion to stay would not be granted easily. It was possible that a few of the players might stay in Australia for a while after the departure of the team.
