Several matches have been played during the week and now only seven games in the three divisions are down for decision this afternoon.
In the first division, South China potential champions, will be op posed by the Lincolna, and a good inatch should be seen. Both teams have been beaten by the compara tively weak Club de Rocroio. Since they beat the Royal Artillery, the League leaders, in both the shield and league competitions, the in- colns have not been faring well and the odds are slightly against them in this afternoon's match. Prob ably, owing to the importance of this matchthis is the greatest ob- atricle the Chinese have to encoun- ter in their race for the Champion- ship the Chinese will field their strongest team.
The Royal Artillery will meet St. Joseph's, and judging by the recent form displayed by the latter, they will have to improve if they wish to avoid defeat. The Gunners, al though not so brilliant ds at the beginning of the season, can still manage to hold their own, and should have no difficulty in taking the two points this afternoon.
The Borderers will engage the. Club de Recreio at Sookunpoo, and
