LONDON, February 18th... Mr. E. E. Hinds, the billiard champion of Hongkong, who has been home only a few weeks, has not put off any time in bringing
the Qualifying Competition for the Amateur Championship nader the stoploss of the Billiard Association, which is being held at Orme & Sous Saloon in Jobs Square, and during his stay in town is the guest of Me Dixon, the Praident of the Billiard Association.

From a free-kick, for foul throw against Dalziel, Cloke with a strong drive placed the ball well up the field to Taylor, and the latter carried it to within a few yards of goat before he was robbed by Harding. A foal against Taylor for bringing Sullivan low gave the Yarders a good opening, but tho kick was loozled by Harding, and the pressure was finally relieved by Read putting post, Brown was awarded deserved applause for cleverly tricking three of his opponents. A long drivo by Browa was saved by Cloke at the expensó of a corner, but nothing resulted, The Buffs at this func. ture made grand headway against the wind and Ryall had some difficulty in clearing a shot by Taylor with Brewster dogging his steps. The advantage at this stage was all with tho Soldiers, and several sluts by Downs gare Ryall all li know to handle. Taylor found a place

From a kick taken by Brown for Cooper tripping 'Sullivan, the Tardamen were again troubling the defence, and, continuing to prose, forced Baldry to concede a corner. The wind was troubling both teams, but the Yorders seemned to suffer most, as the effect of much of their short passing was nullified by the wind carrying the ball further than was intended Brewster waS conspicuous with one of his special rasa, but he finished badly by sending the ball high over the bar. A combined effort by Buliisun and Read took the ball to within a few yards of the Soldiers goal, and just as Sullivan seemed to have the goal at his mercy, Dare rushed in and sent the ball to touch. Cloke was playing a grand game, and on many occasions his strong kicking gave the Soldiers forwards good openings.

when he was brought low. The whistle sounded for an infringment, and to the surprise of everyone a free-kick was awarded to the Soldiers. That a penalty should have been awarded weak certainly have been rough lack on the Buffe after having so much of the game, but it certainly would be interesting to learn what the free-kick was for. Time arrived with the result still standing Buffs, 0 Naval Yard, 0.

The main attraction on Saturday night was undoubtedly the big fight between Bill Lewis, the welterweight champion of the Orient, and Battling Simms, the clover coloured boxer from the U.S.S. Wilmington. The fight, which was twenty-five three-minute rounds, was for a parse of 81,000, $750 to go to the winner and $250 to the loser, or, in the event of a draw, the purse to be equally divided. The conditions required the man to weigh in at the ringside at 148 lbs or nuder, and there was a forfeit of 8125 by either competitor who exoceded this weight. The men were weighed in before the fight, and it was announced that Simms was 21b. overweight, consequently he forfeited the amount stated. Lewis was generally considered a certainty for a win, but it was not expected that Simms would put up the grand fight he did, nor that he would last the full twenty-five rounds with the clever Australian He did, however, and although badly damaged, For the first fow minutes of the second halfi Owing to the unfavourable weather which had plenty of "go" loft in him at the finish. play was contined to midfield without either prevailed on Saturday, the Hongkong Regatts | So fast and exciting was the fight throughout, team having any advantage, but eventually meeting had to be postponed.
