ENGLAND BEATS CHINA.

LOSERS' BIG EFFORT IN SECOND HALF.

GOLDMAN SCORES. THREE GREAT GOALS.

SPLENDID FOOTBALL.

[By Wanderer."]

For a period of approximately twenty minutes in the second half of the International Charity Cup match yesterday, after England had secured a lond of 3 goals to one, the Chinese were definitely on top, their fast thrusting forward line all but overcoming the staunch England defence. With the slightest luck, the brillant com bination and quick movements of the Chinese at this stage would have altered the whole complexion of the game, but they scored only once, and just when Wynne and his colleagues were beginning to falter in the face of persistent and clever attacks, the byrat expended || itself and England recovered to win handsomely by four goals to

It is hoped that the cry for brighter crickel hère has been answered and that this state of affairs will continué, as players are beginning to realise that, the time at their disposal to win a game is more limited in the months of December and January than it was at the connoncement of the season.

One wonders whether it is duo to lack of practice or that their keenness for cricket is on the wane, but the display of the Pok- fulam students on that day, is certainly not the form of a cham- pion XI. Never at any time a strong batting olde, their fielding too, left a lot to be desired.

The Chinese fielded a phore or less experimental side, Including no fewer than six South China players. With but one exception, the changes were fully justified, and the new blood gave the Chinese team a life that has not been apparent for some time past. England began with great dash and it was not long before the lead had been secured, Goldman heading through smartly from a centre by Barkham. Soon after- wards, Goldman netted a second in almost the same way, though on this occasion the ball came from the left. China undismayed by these early setbacks, replied with series of warm attacks, but Wynne and Baker were in splen- did form, and it was not until a minute before the interval that Fung King-cheong reduced the Bead with a nicely placed shot.
