HONGKONG LEAGUE,
Ist Division.
B.K.F.C. e. K.S. EI
The Club had their triumphant career in this league checked on Saturday, when they fell fairly easy victims to the Shropshires. The game throughout was fast and exciting, but on Saturday's play there was no doubt which was the superior team, the soldiers combining bettor and being much quicker on the ball than their opponents. So clever and nippy" were the K.S.LI, that the Club seemed quite slow and clumsy, be side them, although they played quite a good game. Stalker was obviously of colour, but Robinson on the other wing did some fine work, as did also Chassels and McTavish at times. Walker was too well looked after ever to become very dangerous. The Club were handicapped at the beginning by a very strong sun, which caught then full in the face and lasted until the teams changed enda,
For a time after the kick-off, mid-field play followed. The first thrill came when Robinson made a rush for goal, but was stopped by Pritchards, who ran
out to clear. Chassels gave Robinson another chance, but the ball was passed behind. Black gave his right wing yet another chance, and the ball was taken down to the soldiers' goal, where, it caused them some anxiety before they finally got rid of it. The Club goal was now in danger, and the Shropshires appealed very confidently for a penalty for hands, but the appeal was not allowed. Robinson then put in a very fine shot, which just missed the goal, and passed to Stalker, who was well up but could only manage to put it behind. Clayton robbed Chassels in the goal- mouth, while McTavish spoiled a good C. C. effort of his own by passing too straight. and XI. and R. G. A played at Kow-Then at the other end, Peplow to

Half-time arrived with the Shropshire leading by two goals.

Black mis kicked, and this let in Machin and Peplow again, with the result that Goldenberg was called upon to save a difficult shot. Throwing himself at the ball, he cleared in good style. A misunderstanding between Stewart and Goldenberg was nearly the cause of another goal, but the danger was averted.
