(By "Veritas").

The first of the two obstacles which now confront St. Joseph's in their quest for the league championship will be met on Saturday, when they entertain the Lincolns, present leaders, at Caroline Hill.

If the Lincolns are to hold their present position at the end of the season they must win, for they have already dropped three more points than St. Joseph's and the Borderers, their! closest rivals, and one more than the Navy, who have still an out- side chance for the champion- ship.

LOSER'S PLUCKY FIGHT IN THE EARLY STAGES

Tam was a good loser, his fight to avoid the loss of the initial set baing specially meritorious. But he lacked the wiles of his op- ponent, and also the experience necessary to counter Taul's clover variations in length, pace and direction. Furthermore the effects of Monday's gruelling match with Ho Kat-lau was manifest, and he failed to stay the course after the first set.
