PROGRAMME FOR TO-MORROW
(By "VERITAS"),
With the Borderers v Polico match postponed on account of the visit of the Canton Police sports team, and the Chinese y Club encounter also put off, football in the enlor division of the local league to-morrow is. restricted to a couple of games, neither of which promise any-¡ thing out of the ordinary.
The pick would appear to be the raceting of Kowloon and the Artillery on the Peninsula. The Gunners will have Bryant aud Pardo back from the North and are turning out a usual combination.
