There are plenty of goal. keepers, who started their football careers in other positions on the field-Sam Hardy was a centre forward and Howard Baker a Half-back, by way of example.

LAWN TENNIS. “CHIN9SE CHAMPIONSHIPS.

INTER-CITY, GAMES ARRANGED.

Lawn tennis has been, adopted by Chinese people to the extent." that one can say that it has not become fully indigenous to the country. To such an extent in fact that much of the equipment required for the game is now manufactured in

Shanghai. No game is more! popular..

Further to develop the game and the standard of play as well as to enable China successfully to corn- pete in Far Eastern, International and Davis Cup competitions," a few definite things are now necessary. Among them the two most "im porlant are: (1) more varied com-. petition and (9) national organ-. ization for the further promotion and control of tennis by tennis enthusinate.

To accomplish these two ends the Far Eastern Contest Committee which is developing the Chinese National athletic grounds in the French Concession, at the sugges tion and request of the Chinese Recreation Chub of Hongkong, had agreed to arrange for the holding of the First Inter-City Chinese Tennis Championships. To do this "the * Far Eastern Contest Committee • proposes to hurry the completion of its, tennis courts: so that these matches may be played there during the tennis season of 1925 Tenta tive dates for this event have been set for the first week in August.

J. Galloway, the centre-forward that Notts Forest have obtained" from Derby County, comes of a well-known York Rugby family. His relatives were great forwards when Yorkshire provided most of the England pack, Galloway was for some time a conductor on a Sunderland tram, and first at- tracted the attention of the pro-. fessional managers when playing for the tramways team."

Carl Hansen, the unfortunate centre-forward of the Glasgow Rangers, now at his home in Denmark nursing a fractured leg, was the subject of grave suspicion by Birch, the trainer of Britain's Olympic team, at Stock- holm in 1912. Birch said to some of the team: "I think Hansen is a Scot, not Dane." When asked why he thought that, Birch replied: "I have just asked him for a match, and he would not answer me."
