The above teams met at Caroline Hill yesterday in the second round of the junior shield competition. The 8.L.I. won the game in the first half when they had the assist ance of the wind and played a sound defensive half in the second half with occasional bursts to the South China goal.
The game was very fast through. out, the S.LT showing the better ball control. After about fifteen minutes play, Denmead took the bail on the run and surprised the South China defence going in to beat Wong Ki Leung with a well placed shot.
Tean King Ki conceded a corner. and following the flag kick a de- fender infringed in the penalty area. Palmer took the spot kick and landed the ball in the net.

OLD MASTER APPEARS AGAIN.
A. L. Rumjahn, the Tientsin the Champion, foremost among newcomers, gave a convincing per- formance at the Hong Kong Cricket Club on the occasion of his initial match in the Open Singles. A. E. Guest opposed him. It did not take" long time to dispose of the him lceal player, ha losing only five games in all, but he made a very favourable impression, especially in stroke production and foot work. He now meets 8. E. Green who will without doubt test his ability. It will then be interesting to judge his true form, as Guest did not give" him any trouble at all.
Ng Sae Kwong made a welcome reappearance, and many of his supporters turned up to cheer him, and to see how he shared. He beat Lee Hua Ngak easily in the Open Singles, and delighted the crowd.
