TWO LEADERS MEET.

г

[By "Short Head."] Interest in the meeting of the two League leaders-K.O.C. and C.C.C. --to-morrow is as great as on the occasion of the date when the C.C.C. and the Civil Service were to clash last season when rain interfered with the arrangements. All eyes will be cast on the weather forecast for the next twenty-four hours in the hope that it will permit of the following full programme being carried out:-

Police (44) K.C.C. (44) K. Dock (66)

The Club de Recreio receive the Yacht Club, whom they defeated a year ago by 62-51. The latter are rather erratle this year and are not a "gale, bet.”

On their own green the CIC.C. should esally account for the Elec- tric Club.
