The match between Kowloon Dock and Taikoo R.C., the champions and runners-up, will complete the first division programme, and if the former win they will have main- tained an unbeaten record. The contest will be a keen one, and it is hard to foretel the result but while no one wishes to show pre- ference for one team, it would seem A pity if the Kowloon Dock's re- cord is spoiled. But let the best side win.

TEAMS.

The Club de Recreio have arrang- ed to play two friendly football matches with Service teams to-day, The first match will be at King's Park (the Recreio ground) at 3.15 p.m., between the Recreio 2nd XI. and H.M.S. Durban. The second match will be played on the same ground, kick-off at 3 p.m., between the 1st XI and the R.A.M.C.

LOCAL COLF.

There is no competition at Fan- ling this week-end, but there is a bogey pool next week-end.

The winter

Reason at Happy Valley is to open on September 13th, and after that date Happy Valley will be available only in the

Club.

To-morrow, the first Interport trial game will be played. It is! interesting to note that nine out of sixteen players are from the Kow. loon and Taikoo Docks Clubs.

Nothing yet has been heard from Shanghai as to the membership of their teams, but it is little early yet for this to have been decided. As soon as the date of their arrival is known, the programme for the Interport will be arranged. As it is expected that the Shanghai team will be here for about a week, they will have an opportunity of playing a number of the leading Clubs of the League, in addition to the actual Interport match.

The rinks for to-morrow's trial appear to be very evenly matched

The teams are as under:-

Laing (Taikoo) 1, Brown Kow- loon Dock) 8, Morrison (Taikoo) 3, and Pendered (Civil Service), ship.

Atkinson (Kowloon Dock 1, Basa (Craigengower) 2. Cullen (Kowloon Dock) 3, and Wallace (Taikoo), ship..
