But yesterday, at the last minute, it Wis decided to send twelvo players to Shanghai by the Potsdam, while the passages of the remaining six players on the Tatsuta Maru were cancelled.
At the present time it is by no means certain whether Leo Wal- tong, Tio Han-guan, Teo Kwai- shing, S. D. Liang, Suen Kam-shun and Tay Qua-liang will go to. Shanghai at all. They may wait bere for the return of the other players on May 4,
