The first match will be between gue leadership after their match the Central British School "A"! against Eastern next Sunday after noon, at Caroline Hill. That South China "A" will defeat Eastern is a foregone conclusion.

As the two teams stand to-day, -the Rifles have 51 goals for, 22 against, and South China “A” have 49 goals for, 21 against, with one match to play! I cannot see South China losing this Sunday. - Should the score not be over four clear

NOT IN BAG YET! To actually see the League title walking away from the Rifles campTM was something of which I never dreamed. With a lead of four clear points before their matches against the Seaforth Highlanders and Club de Recreio, everyone, including the Chinese players and their supporters, were more or less re- signed to the fact that the Cham- pionship was tied up in a bag for the Rifles.
