The wicket was patchy and Wil kinson, who captured his wickets in six overs, two of which were mai dens took advantage of this by turning the ball prodigiously, at the same

Powhattan

Proving themselves superior in all lepartments,

defeated Amateur Sporting Association by four lear goals on the Club ground yester- day.

Tao defended stubbornly for Powhattan and B. W. Mak and F. C.

p were the best of the forwards.

In the first half Powhattan scored through A. C. Woo, F. C. Ip and Y. L. Lum, and the latter added the fourth goal after the interval:
