SIX_LEADING TEAMS ENGAGED

· THIS COMING SABBATH

CLUB MAKE CHANGES, BUT OTHER TEAMS REMAIN SATISFIED

(By "Veritus").

Sunday league, football is threatening slowly to displace the Saturday programme in im- portance. This week for instance there are three first division matches scheduled 'for Sunday as against two on Saturday. Even, allowing for the scratching of the Borderers- Kowloon tie on Saturday, the sabbath encoun- ters can be regarded as the more important, as they bring together six of the leading teams:

Time was when Sunday foot-j ball was confined preity well to the Chfacne Athletic and South Chion, who found it difficult to get their Canton players down: in time for Saturday games. Now there seems to be a general movement towards the Sunday fixture. There is no call here to debate the rights or wrongs | of such a tendency, but the fact in itself provides a point of Interest.

CLUB CHANGES. After their encouraging victory of last week, the Club are looking forward with the utmost con- dance to the meeting with East Lanenshires this Saturday.

Nevertheless they have found it advisable to make some altera- tions. If Hill returns from Shang- Men's South of England Doubles

the matclics between South China "A" and Police on Sunday will be played according to schedule.

The reason for some doubt being expressed as to which of the two matches would be played on the Saturday and Sunday was that the original fixture made before the start of the season was subsequent- ly altered and passed by the Council, but the Police werc unaware of the alteration.

In spite of his convincing victory over Gains, helped as he was by a considerable advantage in youth, he is not yet good enough to tackle American fighters of the calibre of "King" Lavinsky, Art Lasky, or Steve Hamas.
