This welcome news I am now | with the Chinese populace and his able to reveal, and its puts to rest the fears that were felt of Lec's probable departure to Shanghai in the future.

Thanks to Mr. H. Hallgreen, local manager of the Swedish Trading Co., of China Building, Lee Wai-tank is now permanently conseted with this firm, and will

all probability he sent to Canton in the near future to open a branch office in the Kwangtung

capital.

Yesterday Lee freely confessert that it had been his intention to go to Shanghai this year. Now that he is firmly placed in business will be no necessity, and there Iongkong football is thereby to benefit.

THE MASTER-MIND, Lee Wai-tong, whose wizardly bull control and astonishing shoot- ing powers has made him the

It is Lee's carnest hope that he may do something to lift South China out of this rut, as he did the Chinese team in Java,

ONLY A TEST RABBIT

(By R. Abbit)
