Pierre Gillou, president of the French Lawn Tennis Federation. Austin is placed fourth in the men's list, below D. Budge, J. Bromwich and' the young American, R. L. Riggs.

As a result three members of the Chinese contingent, Chan Kwong- yue (left back), Fan Kwal-chiu (right" half) and Wong Man-kwal outside right), were included in the side which played St. Joseph's on Saturday. A decided Improve- ment was seen in the team, and the Saints were defeated by four goals to nli.
To make the improvement more obvious, it need only be stated that before Saturday the Police had lost every one of their five matches in the League.
Positional changes also had come- thing to do with the change. Parker, who has played half-back in almost every match for the Police in the last few years, was moved to centre- forward. in which position he scored three goals. He was well-supported sud-by Ferrier and Howlett.
