Fixture Readjustment.
As will be observed, the Club de Recreio, instead of entertaining the H.K.F.C. ns scheduled in the original list, will be faced by the stronger opposition of the Scots Guarda. Both Club matches have been postponed on account of the Scottish Company sports.
The Scots Guards suffered their first League defeat on Wednes- day, while the Recreio have as yet been undefeated. A
very keen
game is certain and the robust tactics of the Scots Guards may upset general anticipations that the Recreio will achieve a further victory,
