A WEAKENED SAINTS TEAM DEFEATED
RESERVES NOT QUITE UP
TO STANDARD
LEE TACK-KEE SCORES ALL WINNERS' GOALS
(By "Abo")
Weakened by the absence of several of their regular players, St. Joseph's lost to Eastern by four goals to two in their return encounter in the First Division of the Football League on the Navy ground at Causeway Bay yesterday after being two-one down at the interval.
Both Hussnin and Costa, who played in the Governor's Cup game the day before, were away from the not team, and Beltran also could turn out. Consequently Joe Bowen, D: Alves, and W. Mackintosh had to play. The reserves gave a good account of themselves, but they were not up to the standard of those whose places they took. Fortunately for the the Saints, C. F. Remedios, former Shanghai Interpori captain. Was avallable and he filled the centre-half berth with credit,
Another Swimming Record
Aarhus, Jan. 23. Another world's swimming record has been added to the already imposing list standing to the credit of Ragnhild Hiveger, the Danish lady champion. To-day she cover- ed the 200 metres free style in 3 mins. 46.9 secs.-Renter.
‡LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Eastern players undoubtedly de- werved their success, being definitely the better combination. Their for- wards were a lively lot and in Lee~f=|jm| Tack-kee, who seared all four goals for them, they had a man who was a continuous pain in the neck to the opposing defence. His rushing tac- tics paid handsomely; but one could' not help feeling that had Bowen or D. Alves looked after him a little incre carefully, the Saints would not have conceded four goals.
Piny started promisingly but dropped off towards the end. Never- theless the game was quite interest- ing and the Saints, though beaten, were not disgraced.

CHINESE SUCCEED IN GOVERNOR'S CUP MATCH Injuries Weaken H. K. F. A. Side Considerably
(By "Abo")
Were it not for injuries to Hussain and Knox, the Governor's Cup football match at Caroline Hill on Saturday between the Hongkong Football Association and the Hongkong Chinese Amateur Athletic Federation would have been a much more in- teresting affair than it actually was. True, the score was only 2-1 in favour of the Chinese, but it was not a fair reflection of the run of play; for in the second half the Chinese were all over the Association and their inability to score 'was due not so much to the good play of the Association as a team as to the magni- ficent display of goal-keeping by Rowlands between the sticks.
As only to be expected, there was
