WATER POLO.

ROWDY SCENES IN THE JUNIOR GAME.

PLAYERS ORDERED OUT AND MATCH ABANDONED.

Several unpleasant incidents at teaded the junior water polo game between the V.R.C. and the Fukion Club a few minutes before the close of play. It was unfortunate that a few misguided youths among the. spectators also indulged in "passage of words.

In the first half of the game, Fukien Club scored the only goal through W. Wong, who placed the ball in the corner of the art with a fast shot. Another goal fol- lowed for the Chinese in the second at half, when Gosano was beaten the post. A little later a penalty was awarded to the V.R.G. and Lawrence, netted. Lawrence made another effort which was well stop ped by the goal-keeper.

With the Chinese Trading by two goals to one, some horse-play en- sued between certain players, when one from each side was ordered out of the bath. This was followed by another incident in which the two players continued their arguments outside the bath, while two others engaged in a "serap" further down the bath. At this stage the game had been called off.
