Guy, of 30th R.A., is also on the sick list and will be greatly miss- ed this week-end.
Signals are strengthening their team this week by bringing in Taylor and Parry in the defence. They were unable to play last week. Sgt. Bundy, who played for Army last season, will be mak ing his first appearance in League football this season.

He also recorded 27 singles and took part in a third wicket stand of 41 with Alec Pearce. Tropp's 39 in- eluded five boundaries.
Martin at one time had 4 for 18, and it was his bowling perform- ance which enabled Gunners to
yin.
ROYAL ARTILLERY'
Capt. Ingram, e Denyer, b Megson
for Middlesex,
All, in place of Tsang, in. Saints' goal, gave an impressive display con- sidering this was the first time he has played in that position.
Bowen was not fast enough for the Middlesex for wards.
Cruz, on the left-wing, was not his usual selt. His centring was poor and he would not shoot when well-placed.

Todd played in goal for Police in stead of Taylor, but he did not have much to do. Howlett, Moss and Fer- rier were good forwards, but
none were able to finish movement in the approved style, though all could shoot at times.

THE great surprise in Second Division was the feat of Royal Scots, They shared the points with Royal Engineers
in a fast gaine at Sookunpoo on Sunday,
Bankter played, a good game for Royals, in goat, and saved his aide. Royals had bard luck in not winning when Gallagan sent in a hard shot which hit the cross bar with "Moxham* beaten..

I future they will be strengthened by L. Souza and I. Fornandes, formerly of St. Joseph's, while it is. possible. that several Army players will be playing for them for the game's sake..
International are making overy effort to win the Third Division. They have a good team with local talent, but they are not satisfied and are now enlisting the services of Army players wherever possible. Dley, of Engineers, has turni- ed out for them several times already and has been their main goal scorer: Boody and others of Royal Engineers will probably join them soon.
