COMMENT ON TO-MORROW'S' PROGRAMME.

[By "Dutchie.."]

The following is the League programme for to-morrow:-\-

"

FIRST DIVISION,

R. A. v. Surreys, at Sookumpoo. Club v. China "A," at Club

ground.

Police v. Kowloon, at Kowloon. "Tamar" v. China "B," at Nav

The R.A. maet the Surreys for the first time this season. by the inclusion of some new Gunners have been strengthened players. However, I do not think they are good enough to beat the Infantrymen. Their win over Chinn "A" last week was a fluke.

The Club are at home to the China "A" team. With all hopes

of the championship now gone, the latter will try their best to keep in the runners-up position. The Club are likely to be without Bishop who is on the sick list; Buxton will probably deputise. The Chinese should win.

The Police will be out to re Kowloon and should they turn out venge their previous defeat by at full strength they should at least divide the points.
