RUNNERS-UP IN THE FIRST DIVISION.
Kowloon Draw with the Hong Kong Club.
The Kowloon Football Club, by virtue of their drawn game against the Club yesterday, became run- nere-up in the First Division. Before the interval Pile gave Kaw- loon the lead with a tricky shot which hit the inside of the upright and bounded into the net. Chang- Ing over one goal in arrears the Club maintained pressure and as the result Wallington scored the equaliser.
