(By FRANK COLES)

London, August 21. ON the eve of the new soccer season Mr. Jack Tinn, who, with limited financial resources, has succeeded in keeping Portsmouth's place in the sun over a period of years, has launched out by paying Dundee £6,000 for the services of Scot Symon, former captain and centre-half, and Morgan, right-back of the Scottish League club. These are important captures, and reflect Mr. Salmond, Tinn's liking for Dundee players. Nichol and Easson, members of Portsmouth's ́League side, all hail from Dundee.

One of the happiest features of last season, I think it will be agreed, was the marked advance of Grimsby Town, who finished fifth in the table.
