SELECTIONS BY "EARLY BIRD"
The following selections were made
was made by Saigon at Caroline Hill on Saturday by "Early Bird" in the 8. C. M. to take away with them the memory of at least Post: one victory in this port, but they were defeated by an olovon comprising playors taken from the various Chinese teams in the Colony, four goals to three.
Had the sun not played tricks with their goalkeeper, Tai, the three first half goals of the local team may not have been scored, and Saigon would probably have at- tained their desire.
A fact, which, I daresay, has Ascaped most, is that in all four of their matches here, Saigon lost the Loss and played against
the sun.
Tai at goal for Saigon wax less confident than in his previ ous matches, Lobs appeared to worry him considerably, and though he gave glimpses of his dashing self, these were few and far between.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sir,-i have read your article by "Rex" on Saturday with interest, and must agree that the position necda clarifying. May I suggest that the following Interpretation of Law 12 could, with advantage, be copied out and hung in all dressing rooms, of players:
Play the Bail all the time.
If you must charge an opponent, be sure that your charge is a fair one, and made only when you are making a definite attempt to play the ball. If the ball is not within playing distance and you charge an opponent merely to keep him off the ball, you will be penalised,
W. M. GLOVEN.
