'RESERVES.
These teams met on the Railway ground in the Junior Shield replay, and a similar result to to that at Sookumpoo last week was the out- come, one qual all after extra time. A third meeting will therefore be necessary before one can qualify for the second round.
The game was keenly contested, and the teams were very evenly inatched. The first half was point less, and the second half opened with the Navy pressing, but the
S.L.I. defence rose to the occasion 1 and kept them out.
The game was a ding-dong one, and well up to the standard of Cup tica. The S.L.I took the lead through Farley, who beat Clarke with a fast rising shot. Close on time that Navy forced a corner and Abbott banged the ball into the net, and made the scores equal.
Extra time was played, but there was little left as the players had been all out in the last half. There was no scoring during extra time.

HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING.
SHARKEY SCOTT FIGHT STATUS.
[United Press.]
CINCINNATI, Jan. 27,
4
A cable received to-day from the British Boxing Commission re quests the National Boxing "As- sociation to declare the world's heavyweight title at stake when Jack Sharkey and Phil Scott fight at Miami, Florida, in March.
The message also stated that Britons expect Max Schmeling, the "German Dempsey," to fight the winner of the Sharkey-Boott mill. Schmeling ran out" on Scott last year, according to the cable.
While many interested partics, including the two principals in the Sharkey-Scott battle, would be much pleased to sea the fight given championship status, indications are that this will not be done be cause of the fact that it would ap- pear a manufactured "stunt" to bolster up the box-office receipts.
Sharkey is considered by many to be the outstanding contender at the present time, but Bestt in poor. ly thought of in the United States and the average fan or sports ex- pert would find it hard to swallow the idea of a titular battle in which Schemeling was not involved,
Details of Saturday's and Sunday's gallops at Happy Valley will be found on page 2, together with Morning Dew's" comments on the ponies and other interesting sports news.
If Shanghai were brilliant in the first game, they were even more sc on Saturday. The home team was early on the defensive and the visit: ing forwards gave Southern China's backa plenty of hard work. After twenty minutes of play, the local team broke through the Shanghai defence and looked as if they would establish a lead, but a fine effort by Shanghai's custodian prevented this. From this point, some very lively play ensued, the ball travel- ling rapidly from end to end and the goal-keepers on both sides were often called upon to save the situa tion. The Hong Kong goulie had plenty to do, and gave a superb exhibition, and Shanghai's cus- todian was equally brilliant and certainly steadier.
Exciting Scenes.
There was no scoring in the frat half, this being mainly due to ex- cellent goal-keeping. In the second hall, a goal came to the Hong Kong team after 32 minutes. Deafening Hats cheera greeted this success. were thrown in the air, and many packets of crackers were fred. The spectators, following this success, cheered themselves hoarse for the Hong Kong team, but far from being dismayed, the Shanghai players put more energy into the game and scored two goals in quick success. sion.
After this revease, it looked as if Hong Kong were beaten team. The referee, however, gave a few minutes allowance for time lost dur ing the game and this few minutes proved very costly to the visiting team, for Hong Kong produced an equaliser.

The second half had many inter- ruptions due to the teams changing players whenever a man was injur od: This, na previously stated, was possible becauso the game played under the rules of the Far Eastern Olympics. There was also. a break of a few minutes when the ball in play began to leak and had to be substituted, and on the whole,

The Foursomes. Two ball foursomes over 38 holes were played on Saturday.
Shewan and Marton were both playing well and steadily, and with Blinko at times rather wild off the tee, they came in to lunch with a lead of three holes.
In the afternoon they steadily increased their lead to win 7 and
Dodwell started very shakily in the second match, probably due to fuisaying his clubs and having to re-arrange the team at the last moment owing to Ferguson's indis position. Anyhow Shanghai jump ed into a big lead from the start and as Hoon as Hong Kong got settled down they started to reduce the deficit.
Apart from one or two bad skote Wrigley played a consistently sound game.
By tifin Hong Kong had brought Shanghai back to 1 up and they continued to snatch holes in the afternoon.
They were one down after the 13th and things were looking bright but Dodwell hooked his drive and Wrigley failed to recover and that was virtually the end of the match. Lawrence and Andrenes also gave a good account of themselves in the morning and started out after Liffin with a credit balance of two holes, which they gradually in creased til they won 4 and 3.
The Singles, Sunday opened rather cloudy with a stiff breeze blowing straight against one at the first hole.
As there had been practically no wind during the week when Shang hai were practicing, or what little there was from the opposite direc tion, this should have been to the advantage of Hong Kong, but in the afternoon. at the 7th hole where the wind was dead against we saw one after the other under
clubbing with irons, hitting like blazes and either hooking or being short whilst one or two of the Shanghai players took wood and got there. Even if you go over the ith green, it's much easier to chip dead from the shelf than from the bunkers in frant of the green.
Shewan v. Blinko.
Both hit good drives at the 17th with Blinko ideally placed down' on the left. He misjudged the line over the trees and was just short, with Shewan on the edge; however the latter took
three putts 30 Shewan was dormie, instead of winning 9 and 1.
Shewan was over the home green but recovered well and missed an- other putt of the type that he usually puts down as a matter of course, and Blinko won the 37th in 3 for the match,
"
Marton, Filcher. Marton was on the top of his form though he too found putting a nightmare and he gradually piled up a big lead, being 5 up at tifin and winning by 7 and 8. In the afternoon he surpasaed Himself being two under fours if the 7th is excepted where he had a little game by himself in the ditch on the left.
Wrigley . C. 0. Cumming. Wrigley lost a bagful of holes. to start with and was three down at the 9th in the morning. On most occasions he is a good putter but to-day they would not drop and missed puts cost him the match. He was three down at tifin but soon wiped them off and was leading at Cumming came Back the turn.
two up after the again and wie 13th Wrigley missed an eighteen inch putt on Sandy's Pulpit for a win but won the next two to square. Then the fun began. Cumming out is second over the path and was on in 4. Wrigley was too etrong with his chip and went over, very short with his retura and had to go to the 18th square instead of dormie. Both were within "ve yards of the pin for two. Wrigley went for his 3, and missed the re- turn, so Shanghai won another match.
D. Andrewes v. Cumming. Andrewes and Cumming produced a lot of fire, works during their match and the former should have
led by three holes al tiffin, but he missed a patt on both the 17th and 16th so started the afternoon one to the good and finally won on the 18th green.
Dodwell v. Bowling.
Dodwell, with the cares of Cap- taincy, comfortably settled played a much steadier game in his single. He was 1 up at the end of the morning round and hung on to his lead to win 2 and 1.
Lawrence v. Lock. Lawrence started very badly and was soon ave or six holes to the bad. He improved as he went along but this millstone round his neck was too big a handicap and he was beaten and
Shewan had a great game with Blinko who was hitting a very long ball. Shewan had not his usual infallability from the tee but when he did connect he gave as good as he got and it must have seemed all wrong to Blinko, that a man half his size could hit as far as be could,
Shewan must have felt fairly satisfied to lead by two holes at tiffin, hut he threw away a chance of consolidating his position at the first hole in the afternoon. Blinko was over with his second, too strong On the whole the golf was of the with his next and left himself a typo one expects in a match ci longish putt for a five. Shewan this nature, some very good shots was too strong with his putt and and some terribly bad. The putt- to trouble missed the next" and Blinko sarking problem seemed his for a half.
