SOUTH CHINA BEAT KITCHEE French Beige Probably
IN THE FINAL Police Take The Real Honours In Stanley Shield Seven-a-Side
By 1. M. MacTAVISH
The Stanley Shield Soven-a-Side competition is over for another year.
The trophy now stands proudly if somewhat rain-drenched boside the Senior Shield and the League Cham- pionship award on the South China sideboard and, generally speaking, there are few indeed who will quibble very much about that.
However, let us put on record that while the winner's trophy goes to Caroline Hill the real honours of the tournament go across the harbour to the Hongkong Police Sports Association whose footlallers turned in as magnificent a marathon dia- play of tenacious fighting courage as this competition kus ever seen.

London, May 28. The Yorkshire Cup, run at York last week, was won by a fifty to one shot, Souverlone - a result which not only shocked backers, but deult a blow at English hopes of keeping the rich and honoured Ascot Gold Cup on this side of the Channel.
The York race is regarded as a trial for the Ascot Gold Cup, to be run this year on June 20. What was regarded as a strong "home teun" to repel the French at Ascot could be considered just a good-class second eleven in the light of the failure behind Souverlone of Lord Astor's Hornbeam, Mr R. P. Dennis's French Beige and Mr Terence J. S. Gray's Zarathustra.
