REVIEW OF SATURDAY'S MATCHES.
1.R.C'S DEFEATS.
The Indian R.C. had hopes, carlier in the season, of being able "to win the "B" division champion- ship, or at least be "placed" when the end approaches, but their last two roverses have proved that they are not nearly so strong as was at first expected. Their defeat by the South China A.A. on Saturday was rather surprise, even more so because the Indians played a prominent "A" division representa- tive.
South China, who lost to the Chinese R.C. last year by the nar row margin of Boven games, are playing as well as over at present and can be depended upon to fully extend their compatriots when these two sides meet. The Club de Recreio, too, are not to be ignored. It in expected that the competition in the "B" division will resolve it self into a struggle for first place between these three sides.
The Chinese R.C.-2 got quite a scare from the Kowloon C.C. as the former had to go all out and even- tually won by only one game. The RA.0.C. did well to beat the Re- creio-1 but the other Portugucas team took no chance on Wednes- day and severely trounced the sol- .diers.
The Indiane "A" team appears to be very weak indeed this year They have lost the only two matches that they have played and unless there is a tremendous im- provement in their play it will not be surprising to see them finish up near the bottom of the League.

This provides for a double header every Saturday and Sunday after- on. The Junior Division is to start their game at 2 o'clock and the Senior Division at 4 o'clock
every week-end.
The Senior Division game be- tween the Filipinos and the Sacramento should be of particular interest as it will be the first trial of the new Philippines line-up which is reputed to have been con- siderably strengthened by talent brought out from Manila.
Following is the Filipino line-up against the U.S.S. "Sacramento" on Sunday. Several players from the Recreio and Japanese Clubs have joined the Club:→→
