SHIELD FINALS.

KOWLOON DEFEATS THE POLICE.

A DESERVED VICTORY.

Saturday's soccer was confined to two games, the finals for the Hong Kong Shield.

Kowloon, after a sterling ex- hibition of football, managed to defeat the Police Club by two goals to one, Kernick being re- sponsible for both the Peninsula team's points. According to our of the correspondent's account match, Kowloon deserved their victory,

The other Shield final, between St. Joseph's College and Chinese Athletic, resulted in a draw after extra time. Both sides scored twice. On the run of the play the College should have won, parti. cularly in view of the fact that they were assisted by the maxi- mum quota of Service players, The replay is not likely to take place until near the end of the week, or perhaps on Saturday next, as there is a fairly full pro- gramme to be played off.
