TEN YEARS, RECORD The Three Cultures Club was form- ed more than 10 years ago, when fool- ball among the Chinese in Shanghai was just beginning to spout. Denis Chen succeeded in raising a decent football team from among the mem- bers of the Chinese Recreation Ground near West Gate, while another team in the name of the Union Football Club was organised in vivatry with the Culturists.
In those days mich between these two rival teams, the Cultures and the Unions, would draw thousands of spectators to the Pioneer Field in the French Concession, the former home of the China National Amateur Athletic Federation. Spurred by the enthusiasm and interest among the footballers and spectaters Denis Chen expended a fortune on the promotion sports contributing substantiai sums to the C.N.A.A.F. and other kindred organisations and donating sumerous prizes for various competi- tions.
