PLAY AND PLAYERS.

LAI WAH CUP MATCH,

By "Wanderer,

Ground dificulties on the one hand and perhaps one or two care ful "considerations on the other, prevented the playing of any Senior League matches on Satur day, and a record crowd wanded its way to the Club ground at Happy Valley where the Chinese and the Navy playing in the Lal Wah Cup Competition failed to reach any de- finite decision.

The Club Reserves obtained their first point of the season and Kowloon Reserves strengthened their position by a good win over St. Joseph's after being down at the interval.

The Third Division" matches resulted as anticipated.

Full scores are appended:
