WEEK-END FOOTBALL
"The "Chinese Derby" Fought To A Draw
Even with the Interno:t Cricket match which was played on Saturday local football entusiasts did not fail to turn out to witness the major league matches." The football in general was not of a very high standard, and there were no upsets in the Senior Division games. One rather unfortunate incident was the mishap to Keneghan, the Fuslilers brilliant centre-half. who broke his leg during the encounter with the Recreio. The Police Fred up to expectations by beating the Saints and retaining the'r unbeaten record.
Of Sunday's matches China Athletic drew with South China "B" in a well contested game which was somewhat spoilt by the constant blowing of the whistle. The East Lanes had little diffi- culty in defeating the R. A. Stonecutters and ran out winners' by 6 goals to 1.
THE CHINESE DERBY,
In a fast and thrilling encoun- ter the Chinese Derby between the China Athlet.c and S. China "B" ended In goalless draw. The game was fought out at a fast pace and a feature of it was the excellent work of both defences which were always on top of the respective set of forwards, but the game was somewhat spoilt by the incessant blowing of the" whistle. Early in the first half the S. China goal was subjected to a constant attack and it was the cool aval-keeping of Pau Ka Ping that kept. the score board blank. Pau was clearing. anticipating and positioning as well as ever and many of the shots which he saved would have beaten many other goal-keepers.

CLUB THROWS AWAY CHANCES The Club Sentor eleven had all the opportunities of lowering the colours and supremacy of South China "A", league champion of the past season. when the two teams met in their Senior League encounter on Saturday, but the many chances that they threw away during the earlier part of the game resulted in their down-
fall, and in the end they had to admit defeat by 2 goals to 1, after fully extending the Champions throughout the game.
The Club opened with plenty o confidence and, their speed and de- termination kept the Chinese con- tantly on the move, but they seem- ed to lack, a really effective leader The glorious chances that came theli during the game wore all thrown away either by bad marks- manship of Emie Strange or the over eagerness of Fowler and El- liot.

HONG KONG RIFLE ASSOCIATION
Results Of Week-End Shoot
The usual week-end Spoon and Practice Shoot was held by the Association on Saturday afternoon in the Stonecutters range, when the general levelling-up of scores, which has been a notica- able texture of the past few practices, continued, and there is little doubt that when the new "1914" rifles arrive, the Colony will be able to form an excellent team to represent in matches such as the NRA Postal Match, and other competitions.

ww
The attendance on Saturday was targer than usual, this be ing due to the presence of many members of the latest Rine Club to affilate to the Association, the TVth submarine Flotilla Rife Club, which was formed last week.
The outstanding feature of the shooting was the remarkable score made by Armourer Lance-Corporal Gooch, of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, who again headed the list of those ring. with the rife "as issued," with the magnificent total of 95. This score, as will be seen from the list given below, is two points. higher than the top score made with the B.R. (b) Hae, which allows the use of the aperture-sight and sling, an event which is not only very unusual, but one which deserves placing on re- cord.
The following are the leading scores made in a spoon and practice shoot fred on the stonecutters Range on Saturday after-
