The magnificcat sante played by the Hawkins. on Saturday made one wonder more than ever why the Flagship's en were not asked to playin First Division football this season. Back and forward alike they have a fine side, and it will be very surprising if they do not go far in the League. That they were unable to score a goal against the Chinese must not discredit them, for it is no exaggeration to say that the Chinese have not played better defensive game this season. Fur- thermore, we are of opinion that the Chinese defence was such that no team in Hongkong would juve beaten them, given the same conditions as prevailed on Satur- day.
Nothing but praise can be given to the Chines for having kept their goal intact, for those who witnessed the match on
END DIVISION ERAGOR KOWLOON, 4; SOUTH CHINA “ A‚” 0.- This match which was played un "the Club"ground prior to the Hawkin match, proved to be a very tare" affair, and too much one-sided to be interesting. Kowloon "played with" their opponents for a while, allowing them to attack but never letting them beyond the back line, which was in the charge of Jackson and Knight. Muskett made his rappeurante in the Kowloon goal, whilst Hyder played in night's place, and proved to be quite at home in the inside left position. After" " a while, Kowloon began to go dut goal getting, and although they at first, found" some obstacle put in their way by the Chinese all falling back to detend their gaol, Kowloon soon wore their opponents down, and then scoring was easy, and notched their first goal.

STAFFS DEFEAT CRAIGENGOWER.
Craigengower were their match against the Staffs and De partments as they missed two prominent players, Lammert and Abbas. They lost the match by three wickets and 29 runa. Craigengower fared none too well, the only batsman to secure double figures: being Basi, who was not out with 59. Basa, as usual, played a steady, innings and practically carried the side on his shoulders, He opened the inaings and stay- ed into the end. The others were only able to compile 3 runs between them. Connor was in good form with the ball and secured six wickets for 35 runs.
The Staffs commenced disastrously, but, improving subsequently, managed to pass their opponents' score for the loss of the seventh wicket. Col. Coles, who opened the innings for his side carried out his bat for a prettily compiled 50 runs. He hit with sound judgment and never gave a schance. Scores:-

The Naval team are probably heavier than

He has the correct knack of feeding his fellows. Stewart and Harris, the insides, just spared themselves nothing in their efforts to carve through the Chinese defence, The two outsides must learn to swing the ball in towards the goal with greater promptitude. The Chinese halves were so active that both Webb and Cunliffe were beaten time after tinte. They should centre as soon as they get the ball,

La the first half, the Staffs scored four goals, Wood getting the first, Townsend obtaining two in succession, and Estorffe a new and clever left outside, being responsible for the fourth. The Chinese made occasional rushes towards the Staff goal, but were unable to get much past the halves. In the second half, the Staff swarmed round the Chinese goal most of the time, but did not take matters very seriously or they should have scored more than the one additional goal, for which Townsend was responsible.
