SPECIAL REVIEW OF THE TEAMS TAKING PART
With well over a third of the fix- Lieutenant, A.C.C. Miers, tures completed in this league, a brlof review of the positions and prospects of the various teams is not altogether out of place.
Owing to the exigiences of the Services and the lack of grounde, the teams meet each other only once, which ls to be regretted, as rivalry is very keen, and the majority of the games are so close that return matches would be greatly appreciated.

Three changes are certain in the teams to take part in to-morrow's Interport trial at Happy Valley. Albert Howe can- not make the trip to Shanghai and is therefore eliminated from further trials: Pardoe is on the injured list and Skinner finds It is expected that business prevents him from turning out. Dave Leonard of St. Joseph's will be brought in for Howe: Blackbourne of the Police for Pardoe and Shepherd of the Police for Skinner.
