The Club and Navy mech again to-day in the United States League. The gaine last week was raiber unsatisfactory as thres penalties cccurred in it. The reason for the first penalty has been much dis- cussed. In the stand it was imposible to say what happened, although a targe number of spectators, either very ignor. ant of the rules of the game or having a poor opinion of tin qualifications of the roftres, were dunvinced that it was given for carrying. A penuity cannot, how. ever, be awarded on account of the goal. keeper, carrying, and carrying consists of taking more than two steps waile holding the ball As a matter of fact, It was given for tripping, the toul occurring inside the penalty uroa. After the firs free kick, wnica was awarned just outside th penalty area, Ir both sides make up there mind to pay the game this afternoon, in any circumstances, apretators ar

nsured of a nue struggle.

Ais equally interesting match will take place on the Navy ground, where the B.E and K.A meet for the first time this season. Last year those teams met four times without reaching a definite result, each mustch, ending in a draw.
