tain a ruling from Hone on this

Royal Artillery made BUS- picious debut in the Senior Shield competition and gave

much better display than was generally experted. Combination was lacking point. but the Gunners gave evidence that with proper rouching and training they would do well peainst most teams in the Senior Division,

Artillery were without the ser- vices of several good players who belonged to Batteries still interest- ed in the Junior competition and with then inclusion Gunners might have done better still.

A well-chosen Combined Royal Artillery team would be а drawing card against а Chinese team for a match in aid of Charity or the "South China Morning Post Bomber Fund."

It is understood that there will be no change if possible in the Civilian, Scotland and England temns for the Finals of the respec- tive competitions.
