OUR PEKING LETTER A. B. COMMENDED.

(From Our Own Viprospondent.]|

Peking, February 11.

FOR CATCHING A SNATCHER.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 24, 1920.

FOOTBALL NOTES.

I noticed in the notes written by "Davy Jones," whoever that individual may be, one or two things that greatly amused me, and undoubtedly a good few more people as well. What a great pity that "Davy Jones," who, apparently, is given to writ- ing about something that he seems to know nothing what- ever about, did not stop in the place usually alloted to him the Sea Locker,

or else the Ark. He is all behind the times, and I am certain that the football public will be only too pleased at any time for him to. make himself generally useful and takeoverthe Hongkong Shield Competition and also the US. League, as he seems to know so much about it and what ought to be done. Methinks that it is not so long ago... I beard "Jack- adasical" methods mentioned by Fontone, who very nearly frightened certain League offi. cials, by his talk of what was going to happen but has not yet come off.

If we have done so, in any competition or League, let! him make his statement to the Football Association, and will see then what is the matter. All teams in the Competition know their fixtures in the second. round.
