SPORTING NOTES.
"to-morrow. ! Football makes an official start The League, which has done so much for this sport, opens the season with three matches, all at Happy Valley. The biggest crowd is likely to be found at the Clab ground, where the Buffs and the Club will straggle for the first two points. The soldiers will be ably to field a strong eleven, and their prospects in the League are fancied by their supporters. The Club's six-a- side matolast provide good practice, but I should like to on the players in a little better
foru.
Kowloon should muster a pretty gool team. As the R.E.'s have lost a few of their crack men, the mateb shonid be decidedly even.
Kaval Yard hope to give a satisfactory account of themselves, but they will hard to play all they know to beat last season's Leaguo champions.
The match totween the Buffs and Civilian last Saturday. was not bail for a "first of the sobson" gains. The ground was rough, and the players were not set. The pointless draw must therefore be cousidorod ng katisfactory.
Preparations for League criakat are well advanged. The ixture list is practically com plotod, and it is noticeable that several club have taken draatage of the privilege which club only to play another allows the ones if they choose. The unsatisfactory rule A to incomplotod games has been altsred, and the method of counting is changed, the percentage now to be calculated on the wins. neither drawn nor losses to be reckoned.
*
The feature of the now fixture list is that matches have been arranged for the Yorkshire Regiment, which is coming along in à month or two. The Bufs, of course, could not very well enter, as their departure would upset League oalculations. The competition is this season invested with ao little uncertainty, as the quality of the new rogiment is quite unknown.
* #
It was unfortunate, that the Naval Yard submitted their application for entrance to the Cricket League ton Isto to be accepted. How ever, they mean to get all the practice they can, and to-morrow they play the Civil Service.
