SOCCER MATCH.

CHAMPIONSHIP TIES.

Tokyo, May 20,

In the Olympic Games here Japan clinched the baseball title by defeating the Chinese in a wild and ragged contest by seventees runs to ten.

In swimming. Japan secured a further two firsts, the hundred yards back stroke and the fifty yards free style. China beat Japan by 21 points to 18 and 21 points to 19 in the men's volley- ball contest making China tie with the Philippines. The match for the title will be played to-morrow. In the women's volley-ball con- test, Japan beat the Philippines by 21 points to oil in both games.

Japan. sprang a surprise in the soccer match, drawing with China. The Chinese did most of the at- tacking, but their shooting was erratic. At half time the score was one goal each. Japan led by three goals to two within three minutes of time when Wong Shut- wa gave the Chinese the equaliser.

The Chinese wanted to play extra time to settle the champion- ship, but the Japanese refused. Subsequently, the sides failing to reach an agreement, the F.E.A.A. soccer committee declared that the championship was a tie and that there would be no further play.

Japan

In the women's tennis singles, Kobayashi beat Gloria Lee 6-0, 6-2 and beat Lucy Lee 6-0, 6-1. Gloria Lee heat limura (Japan) 4-6, 6-4, 6-2, giving Japan the victory by three matches to two.

TO RAISE SCHOOL. LEAVING AGE.

EDUCATION BILL PASSES ITS SECOND READING.

BENEFITS OUTLINED.

London, May 29. The House of Commons to-day passed the second reading of the Government's Education Bill by 280 votes to 223. The Bill provides for the raising of the school leaving age from fourteen to fifteen years.

The President of the Board of Education, Sir Charles Trevelyan, moved the second reading, and ex- plained that half a million children were involved each year. The Gov. ernment desired to keep them out of the labour market. By giving them another year in school, com-. petition of children in labour would obviously be reduced.

Work would thus be provided for 100,000 to 150,000 people to teachers would be required. Under replace them, while 8,000 additional the new proposals there would be a saving in unemployment benefit of about three million pounds.

He added that the Bill would pro- vido maintenance and allowances for the children of poorer families when they went to school for the l extra year. The total cost of rais- ing the school age would be five and a half million pounds, and to ac- commodate the children in view of the proposed leaving age change a hundred new schools were being built. In addition enlargements to. 350 schools were going on at the present time.

M. Poincare raises the question of whether the Soviet and Great Britain would join, and challenges the suggestion that Britain should keep out of the United States of Europe because of her position in a world Empire.
