WOMEN SHOW POOR
Royal Engineers. Should Go Long Way In The Association Tournament
IN THEIR Caer Clark Cup fixtures played at King's Park last Saturday, the "Y" Ladies, 'champions of the League, defeated the Central British Association by 4-0.
Unfortunately, the bumpy state of the ground made ball control very difficult, and this probably accounted for the poor display of the winners.
Miss B. Harker scored two, Miss H. Bockler one and Miss D. McCaw one, and although they made several big efforts, the forwards finished badly, and shooting general- ly was wide of the target.
Mrs. L. Starbuck, centre half, tackled keenly and closely, and gave little quarter to the C.B.A. forwards. Miss M, McCaw, on

IN an Association Tournament ixture on Sunday morning, the Club de Recreio, minus some of the best players, accounted for the Royal Corps of Signals 2-0. The scorers were Sequeira and W. A. Rood.
The home forwards did not work at all nently together, and were at times most ragged, though the defence was in tip. top form.
Throughout, Recreio showed superior skill in the half-back line, and to this was largely due their success. Gonsalves and E-L Gosano made a formidable pair. L.. Luz, in goal, was seldom culled upon to defend

The main feature of the game was the sterling display by the Middlesex pack, especially the back row for wards, who were always on top of the ball and rave the Club halves very few opportunities, Middlesex were without the services of Hewitt and Herry, two regular members of the Army jack.
