PLAYERS AND PROSPECTS., Norwich
Division II. (Northern),
Three of the senior games to-day have a bearing on the League championship, the Royal Navy being in the best position. To-day Accrington the Navy meet the Police and the Chesterfield result should be in favour of the Darlington former. Still, the Police in the Doncaster past have upset many a team in the Halifax randing for the league champion- Hartlepools ship. Clarke will be in the Police Lincoln gon and the score will be low. Rochdale Should the Police get a snap goal, Rotherham the Navy may find themselves in South Shields arrears when the final whistle Tranmere sounds.
A battle royal is expected at Caroline Hill where South China are at home to the Chinese Athletic. This will be the local derby and "great crowd ia expected.
The Athletic still have a hold on the championship and a win to-day will keep them level with the Navy South China held them to a dra at North Point Stadium and should go one better on their home ground at Caroline Hill. The game will be a needle one throughout and little between the teams when the final whistle sounds.

Officers of the Chinese Naval Mission, who arrived at Plymouth during. February, says the Naval and Military Record, made a tour of Devonport harbour and Dock- yard, paying visits to the cadet training ship Erebus, the newly- delivered destroyer Acaata, and the now, China Station submarine Otu. Another association with the Far Enst they met with was the big bell on the lawn in front of Admiralty- House, which the late Admiral of the Fleet Sir Edward Seyman? brought from China when he was Commander-in-Chief there, during the Boxer troubles.
Before commencing their visits, the members of the Mission called upon the Commander-in-Chief (Ad- miral the Hon. Sir Hubert Brand) at Admiralty House, Devonport.
With Admiral Brand were Vic Admiral D. Backhouse (Admiral Superintendent of the Dockyard), Capt. J. M. Pipon (chief of staff), Comdr. T. B. Fellowes (ataff offi cer), Paymr.-Comdr. L. N. Samp- son (admiral's secretary), and Flag- Licat.-Comdr. J. 5. Baker.
The members of the Mission are Admiral Tu (Tu Hsei Kuei), High Commissioner for Study of Navies
Abroad; Comdr. S. C. Whang, Lieut. Comdr. M. H. Ching, and Mr. H. K. Tong and Mr. K. C. Kao, secretaries. They were accCÓM- panied by Lieut.-Comdr. J. F. W. Mudford, R.N., of H.M.S. Vernon, who is attached to the Mission as liaison officer and is acting as prin- cipal conducting officer.
