At Soskunpoo. China Athletic are due to meet the K.O.S.B. "The military team is doing well and. teams who had the championship within sight have failed before them. Forward. the E.0.S.B. would be hard to beat. The defence, how ever, requires a little stiffening The League championship is stake to-day in this game, for a win for the Athletic would place them very favourably for the champion- ship. After to-day's game, they have only to meet the R.A. and H.E.F.C. On the recent showing of? the Borderers, it is expected they will give the Athletic a set back. They are two points behind South China with to-day's game in band.

The Hong Kong Police will now nicet Kowloon оп the Railway The Police are better ground placed in the League than Kowloon and are expected to take the points. Kowloon will, however, put up a good show and may take a point. They are due to meet the Club de Recreio in the Shield semi-final

The Juniors.·'

With the juniors, the Royal Navy and K.O.6.B. have very easy games and should win. The race for the championship is in favour of the Navy, but the next meeting between these teams will probably decide the issue.
