FOOTBALL GOSSIP."

The Navy being unable to fail their engagement with the Clab, the caly match played in the senior division of the Hung- kong League on Saturday last was that between the R.E. `and KS LI. The fixture we so im- portast.one for both teams, sa by defeating the suppers, the K,8, LI. would be practically safe for the championship, whiletsreveres would mean that both their remaining matcher, ag kinot the Club

and R.G.A.,

would have to be wod to equal the points obtained by their opponents. That it was a serious matter was evidenced by the large number of Shropshire sup porters lining the ropes, and of their confidence in the ability of] their team to win there was no quation. This confidence was. probably based on the result of the last meeting of those two teams in the U. 8. League, when the" sappers were enable to do дого than draw against a side that contained four or five ESLI. reserves, "but to those who hay: followed the some- what erratic career of the sappers ibis counted for little, for they hare a most annoying babit of performing the unexpected and upsetting all calculations. For- tune favoured them in the tosa for ends and from the kick-off | they promptly became thel aggressors. The KSL.I were out generalled in every depart- ment of the game and the sappers scored after about ten minutes' play.

After this, play became more eren, but Coxon's tactic: at back rendered the Shropshire attacke simply futile, in addition to which their wingers were ATVOR allowed the alightest | latitude. Half-time came with the score 10. The second half saw a complete change, the map-| pers now being on the defensive, and for the last fifteen minute

In the same ocmpetition, the KS.L.I. took both points in their game with the Club, winning 1-0. The Clab certainly ought to have scored in the first five minutes of the game and a draw would have been fitting result, for, although the KSLL did most of the attacking, the Club were always more dangerone when they broke away. These two teams have to meet again in the Hongkong Lasgas on the 24th instant, when it is more than likely that the! Club will avenge the defeat of¦ yesterday."
