TOMORROW'S SENIOR SHIELD SEMI FINAL PROSPECTS

(By "Varitas"),

The St. Joseph's v South China semi-final shield match is on, and the teams will meet in what should be one of the finest matches of the season on the Club ground to-morrow afternoon at 4 p.m.

This state of affairs is due to Mr. Archic Goldenberg, who returning from Shang- hai yesterday, decided that, despite the circum. stances which forced the Club originally to object to the game being played to-morrow, it would be better in the interests of everyone for the match to be played as arranged by the Association.

But the suggestion made in sonte quarters that the Club never had any intentions of refraining from torning out on Sunday is definitely without foundation. Right up to the time of Mr. Goldenberg's return
