ACCIDENT

WHEELER BREAKS HIS LEG

POLICE NO MATCH FOR S. CHINA

FAVOURITES NEED TWO POINTS

The first serious accident of the football season occurred yesterday, when at Caroline Hill, Wheeler, the Police right half back broke his leg against South China.

By ironic coincidence it happen- ed in about the last match of the programme, as the season closes on Wednesday next.

Already handicapped by Red- Ing one short, the Police, left with aine players after the first twenty leas task of trying to atop South China from winning,

Of course they failed, the Chi- nese scoring twice without reply, and leaving themsolven in the two points from their remaining two matches to win the champlon- Jahip.
