Several boxers, well-known to the focal ring, will appear. There will be six round contest be- tween Pte. Hume (K.U.S.B.) and Tel. Bates. (Arguk). Hume is a lad that Hong Kong fans would like to see in action again. His decisive victory over Shots at the list tournament has put him pong the front rank of local pargi léabaret:
Bates, 1 understand, is a fed full of pep and grit and just us determined to win, as Eume. He is in good form and should give Hume a fight to the fast..

NOTES ON THE FIXTURES.
The Kowloon and Hong Kong, F.C. Reserves will not be out today owing the B.K.VDC week-end camp at Fanling.
To-day, the senior league com- mences its second half of the pro- gramines.
The outstanding teams
in the first half of the league pro- grumme are:-Division 1.: China Athleteie: Division II. "A": K.O.S.B. Reserves; and in Divi- sion II. "B": China Athletic.
The H.K.FC. should do much better in the second half of their fixtures than in the first. Their half back line now is very strong and with Taylor back, in the forward line, the attack should be stronger. Vickers played a very useful game against the Pulice last week and scored twice.
