IMPORTANT JUNIOR WEEK-END SOCCER

MATCH TO-DAY

By "Adrem''

MOST IMPORTANT game in to-day's pro- gramme of friendly cricket matches will be the Re- creio-K.C.C. fixture at King's Park which will vi- tally affect the eventual destination of the Junior Shield.

Recreio are at the head at the moment with an unbeaten record in three games, whereas K.CC.. who have a very powerful tear

draw paper, were held to recently by University after run- ning up a total of 211 for 0.

Chiefly responsible for Recreio's successes thus far has been P. M. N. da Silva, who has been !

Australian ponies are conceding 1 minutes to China ponies at the start.

Anyone may win, irrespective of the speed of his mount, as there are about five different outes to take and it remains to be seen which is the shortest.
