Mercantile Bank Win

Easy Victory.

Due to the failure of the Radio: Sports Club to feld a team against the Mercantile Bank on the ground of the Club de Recreio, at King's Park, yesterday afternoon, it was not found possible to play the friendly game arranged, but, instead a scratch team was made up.

The match, naturally, was not up to the standard it should have been,| and the Bank won by five goals to two, the half-time score being two to one in favour of the Bank.
