Hongkong, 22nd February, 1918, (The paragraph complained of reads as ed as cleanly as their best players the game follows: If all the Shropshiremen play- would have been much pleasanter. The play of Williams, Brittie, Poplow, and Parker their four most accomplished foot ballers-is always beyond reproach, as is that of the majority of the men, but there Faro one or two who for the sake of sport would be better out of the team." Our contributor is not disposed to differ from our correspondent in his assertion that the team is a sporting one regarded as a whole, but he adheres to his opinion that it would be better if two of the men were out of it. Frequently it is found that a single man by his ill-temper and unsportmanlike play, tarnishes the good name of his team, and it would be for the benefit of sport generally it such a man were dropped. Our contri- butor denies that his report is unfair, and points out that he is not alone in hi criticism. The other Clubs in the Colony will doubtless be able to speak for them- selves. ED.]
