THE SEASON DRAWS Civil Service-Craigengower Mix-up: Champions Defeated By Club.
SINCE IT IS SO LATE in the season, it is most unfortunate that there was a misunderstanding on the part of the C.S.C.C. about their game`with Craigongower which would have left thom with only their Army game unplayed. They have, of course, been very unfortunate in the weather, but the fact romains that the organisation has rather broken down, chiefly owing to the great amount of Volunteer work that their captain has had to put in.
On paper if they can turn out everyone they want they have as good a side as anyone in the League. Yet they are bracketed at the bottom of the League table with

THE I.R.C. had little difficulty beginning to think that this lack af organisation may have some in beating the Civil Service by thing to do with the fact that five wickets and by their victory several of their lending players go to the top of the table.

TICKET FORGERIES
CONSIDERED Selling Outside Ground May Be Made Illegal
THE SELLING of spurious tickets with forged Government stamps outside football grounds received the attention of the Football Association Council at their ment. ing yesterday. The Chairman, Mr. W. Pryde, acknow- ledged the seriousness of the situation and said that means would have to be devised whereby the public got a fair deal. Mr. Wong Ka-tsun stated that a man had been arrested
connection with the discovery of a number of forged tickets, and Legislation was being considered whereby people selling tickets outside the grounds would be liable to prosecution.
ONLY TWO MATCHES were played in the Colony Tennis Tournament at the Hongkong Cricket Club yester-in day. In the Doubles, T. A. Pearce and B. C. Fay beat F. H. Kwok and S. W. Liang 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, and in the Singles, Tsui Yun-pui entered the quarter-finals, beating R. G.
