POLICE DISAPPOINT
A feature of the game between Police and Fusiliers was the splendid goal keeping of Rowlands who in the course of the match effected several miraculous saves. Fusillers were decidedly unlucky not to have got away with both points as on the day's play there was hardly any weak link in the whole. team. But, the same could not be said of the Police who for

The soldiers' forward line worked with machine-like preci- sion. their inside trio-Harrison, Sullivan and Talbot being very effective with their short passing. Keneghan was good in the pivotal position.
KOWLOON OUTFLAYED Ou played for the greater part of the game. Kowloon left the feld with a.only two-goal deficit. in their match with B. Lancs, who had only themselves to blame in not being able to add more, to the. score.

TÜIS WEEK'S PROSPECTS There are five senior down for decision this week end, the most interesting of which will undoubtedly be that between the Redre.o and St. Joseph's Co-lege.
The College have been playing well for the last two games, They have a well balanced defence and comparing the teams I believe the Cullege
are a little better. Of their forwards only Albert Ward is a dangerous man and all their raids are inevitably schemed by him.
The Recreio possesses a very fast and nippy forward line. Al- hough small in stature they more than make up for this by their speed. The Gasano brothers and Beltrão" are all donning the uni- form again and this Will strengthen
the team consider- ably. St. Joseph's will have to go all out to win though I rather Chink the game will end in a
draw.

SHANGHAI WIN AGAIN
Good Game At The K. C. C.
At the K.C.C. green yesterday, Shanghai won the second of the three games they played since their arrival in the Colony by beating A. Hyde-Lay's rink by the narrow margin of orle shot,
It was a closely contested game and both rinks had equal chances of winning. There was no parti- cularly brilliant blay, but what made the game so interesting was the keeness of competition.
F. V. V. Ribeiro (3) was the out-- standing player. His driving and drawing had J. W. Brierley, his opposite, completely, overshadowed J. C. M. Lopes (Skip) was in the limelight for the Shanghai landers.
