Interest In Governor's Cup Match
F. A. v. Chinese Federation At Causeway Bay To-morrow
(By "Scrambler")
NOW THAT THE SOCCER SEASON is fast drawing to a close, and with the winner of the Sonior League having been decided, the in- torost for this week-end will be focussed on the Governor's Cup Match between the Hongkong Football Association and the Chinese Federation to-morrow on the Navy ground at Causeway Bay,
Eastern Players On Tour
The Chinese team will be very much weakened by the absence of the Eastern's players who are at present in Manila on a tour, but with the abundant talent of the other Chinese teams, this handicap can easily be over- come, especially now that the Sing Tao players will be able to turn out for them.
The Association's team is a well balanced one, but against the fast and nippy Chinese at- i tack, I doubt whether they are good enough to hold them, es- pecially the intermediate trio. Their last line of defence' in Roughley and Fraser are second to none in this Colony, but with a none too strong front line, too much cannot be expected from them.
Bright as a centre-half is a tireless worker, but whether his polley of Lee Wal-tong will always ahndowing
be a
paying one in this game remains to be seen. In Freshwater and Thomas, his aides, he has two hard working men, but the speed of the Chinese wingers, whoever they may be, will be a
a menace.
The Association's altack is consis- tenl, with Howlett leading. He is no!
but full of ideas, only energotle and with Le Page as the forager, and Ferrier as the schemer, they should be able to make their presence felt. Fowler is keen and deadly on the "extreme right, while crisen is

(By "Ball Fan")
FOR THE SECOND successive week-end, an over- flowing crowd of diehard softball fans will stream through the gates of the Kowloon ball park to take in the three game, "all men's", senior loop card, featuring the gigantic top-spot clash between St Joseph's burly ballhawks and the spectacular Indians, with the pennant climax dangling in the not too far distant.
Recreio's rough riding Recs, Colony champions the past two
years, but already eliminated Weekly Wind-up ·
from the current championship race earlier in the season, will stage a doubleheader in a big attempt to crash through with two Sabbath day wins, when they tackle the lowly Filipino Club in the opener and the hustl- jing Chinese Baseballers in the
nightcap.
.:
N. their first appearence at 10 am. with Bull Woo, Welle Welford and Georgie White calling them, the rough riding Recs should experience an "absolutely no dificulty" game against the weak-playing Filipino Clubbers who have been pretty easy pickings for practically all teams in the senior loop this year.

sprinkling of veterans to augment their inexperienced rookies, have played very lodse ball this year and are just about the weakest lineup ever to appear in Filipino Club uniforms.
Harry Noronha's Rees are slated to start their dugout warmers in this fraces and should be able to chalk up an easy win.

NOSED out in a terrific cham- pionship battle last season on the Recreio ground, St Joseph's league leading ballhawks will be out there in a desperato fight; to retain their current lead when they clash with the spectacular Indians at 11.15 a.m. with Nip Lum, A. V. Gosano and Bill Woo handling the refereeing duties.
Already twice postponed, this colossal encounter has been ear- marked the most important game of the year, bringing together a team that has always been up near the top in local softball circles against an Indian ning that has proven to be the sensational team of the year,
