`HONGKONG, SHIELD DRAW.

THE LATE LANCE CORPORAL FRANK DEALY ALF

At a meeting in Victoria Barracks Details of Lance-Corporal, Frank lund evening, Mr. F. Wilke pred Dealy's death in action, noted in our ing, the draw for the first round of aue of 19th October lass, have been the Hongkong Shield competition received. Captain H. W. B. Cairns, Was arranged. Not a little excite-A.A.M.C.,

A previous arrangement was to have only two matches in the first round, but this would have entailed byss in the sacord, which was cou sidered inadvisable. Therefore t was very sensibly agreed to have four madebes, all to take place on Boxing Day.

The result of the draw is as `fals. lowe:-

- BOXING DAY, Dec. 28.

R.G.A. v. Royal Navy. On the Club ground at 3.50 p.m..

+

St. Joseph's Collage v. South China Athletic. On the Club ground at 4

Hongkong F.C. v. Kowloon. On the Navy ground at 4. p.m.

Royal Engineers v. Staff and De partments. On the Military ground at 4 p.m. ་ .

It will be noticed that in only one case do 1st Division teams meet. They are the R.G.A. and Royal Navy. Humour has it that despite the loss of player belonging to H.M.S.

that there are any number just at hand waiting the chance to play." And after playing at the greater game in the North Sea they will be keen for this for a change. Under the cir cumstances there seems little chance of the R.G.A. surviving unless Green can score a couple of gouls and his defence keep out the Navy forwards.

The only other match where there is any doubt as to the result is South Chica and St. Joseph's. Although there will be three shield matches on, it is pretty safe to say there will scarcely be breathing "room at this match. South China ought to win but they will find it no easy thing. " Everybody will expect the Club to dispose of Kowloon, and the Royal Engineers to finish any aspiratidas the Staff and Departments may cherish of becoming Shield winner, the only question being what the lat Division eams will win by,

The money forthcoming at the Stand and from the collection boxes at the Club ground will be devoted to the fund on behalf of the widow

"L/Cpl. Dealy and two of his comrades, all three members of a Lewis Gon team in D. Company wore standing in a-trench, að 1 p.m. on August 26th. They were

I got the above detalle from L/Cpl. Giles. D. Company, 13 Battalion. He was in the same Company, and buta few yards frorn Frank when the latter fell,« He liked him very much, and says he was a fine chap. The Adjutant. of the Battalion told me the same thing. He also said, that Dealy's Company Commander, Lieut. Mar tin, hud said to him, when the news reucked him:-

One of the finest fellows in the Company gone.!

The names of the two others killed at the same time are Theobald and Peters."

Lieutenant Jack Brake, A.F.A.. Sth Field Artillery Brigade, and Orderly Officer at Headquarters, Sil Division, also, writes in connection with Frank's death -****
