match generally regarded as an open one, although many appear to think that the Somersets will just manage to turn the scale in their favour.
The match is to be played on the Hongkong Club ground at 4.45 p.m. to-morrow and the Shield will be presented to the winners by Mrs. R. M. Dyer.
The Somersets played their first, Shield game against St. Joseph's: when they won easily by three goals to one. They next met the Athletic but were held to a draw of one goal each, even after extra time. The Athletic failed to turn up for the replay and the Council awarded the match to the Somer- sels who, in the semi-final easily defeated Kowloon by three goals to nil.
The Navy came up against stern opposition in the second round when they met the Club. Extra time had to be played and the Navy came through by three goals tu iwa. In the semi-final they met South China in a match in which

scored. In the replay, however, the Navy won by three goals to one and qualified to meet the Somersets to-morrow.

The Somerset defence has been very successful in recent matches. This is demonstrated by the fact that the team has only conceded 13 goals in 17 League matches while the Navy has had 23 goals scored against them in 19 matches. The game should prove a stern struggle from the start and there is little doubt that it will be productive of excellent football.
Eastern and Athletic B. will meet in the Junior Final on the same ground at 2.45 p.m.

́PUBLIC TENNIS COURTS.
MR. E. COCK URGES A START IN KOWLOON.
A memorandum regarding public tennis courts is one of the appendices to the Playing Field Committeo's re- port which has just been made public. The memorandum is by Mr. E. Cock and is as follows:
The sub-committee, appointed at the meeting held on the 4th Novem- ber, have made two tours of Kow- loon with a view more to anding open spaces for rest and recreation than playing fields. We have come to the following general conclusions:
(a) That there is not the same con- gestion in Kowloon as there is In Hongkong, principally be cause the roads are wide and hero and there are dotted osses of low buildings or even no buildings at all. Many of the intersecting roads terminate an the water front and these open ends do give a feeling of 'airiness' which is not so mark. ed on the Hongkong elde. (b) That small open spaces dotted over the peninsula are possible and desirable.

The tenure of these grounds could be short; at present large doing no service at all.

5. We think suitable areas can be found as follows:-
(a) At the corner of Wai Ching and Suigon Streets perhaps
6,000 square feet..
(b) Area bounded by Canton Road, Battery and Public Square streets. About one third of this area, in its centre, is taken up by A cheap Chinese Cinema theatre.
(c) West of Shanghai Street and South of Waterloo Road is a small area which would be very suitable for a small playground. (2) Between Argyle Street, and Mongkok Police Station Nathan Road is an area partly occopied by a dilapidated and unsightly building and en- closure which would make a good recreation ground.

6. Thirdly: Homuntin. Little is required in this back- water-the type of residences and the ground they occupy being ample for private enterprise to do what necessary; but the small square should be tidied up at public expense and seats could be arranged at the base of the railway embankment on the east side.
7. Fourthly: Kowloon Tong. We believe areas are available here which could be appropriated for public recreation on the northern side of the Estate. This should be done, but the district is open and well kept and calls more field than an open space such as we are chiefly dealing with.
