BUT TABLES ARE UNCHANGED

Royal Scots, leaders of Third Division “A”. were given a rude shock yesterday when they suc- cumbed to the recognised P.W.D. combination · by two clear, goals, while South China, who are lying second, also faltered, going down unexpectedly to 30th Battery, R.A.

Only other major shock yesterday occurred in Third Division .."B". where Stonecutters had an unex- pected lapse against 24th Battery, R.A., who secured both points by the only goal of the match.

Although the leaders in both divi- sions faltered, there is no change in the tables.

Several shocks were recorded on Saturday, however, particularly in the First Division where Eastern unexpectedly routed a poor Kowloon combination playing well below their usual form, while Middlesex regain- rd their feet at the expense
