Before a moderato attendance at Sookunpoo the South China "B'defented the East Lancs, in the Senior Division yesterday afternoon by two goals to nil.

MYSTERY OF K.C.C. BATTING

After watching the Police score their fourth white being challenged by an East Lancashires forward during yesterday's victory of the season yesterday, one could not avoid speculating just how far they might go in the contest for premier league football honours. In itsalt their display against the Royal Artillery did not provide a particularly inspiring indica: tion. They won, and won comfortably, but it was at the expense of a team, whose efforts! would scarcely have done credit to a second or third division team.

Even so it is possible to form some assessment of the potentialities of this Police team, which, if nothing else, is one of the best combinations the Force has put into the field within recent years.

Chlef assets can be summed up as follows: bustling treties, speed and determination, foraging "for- wards, dogged half backs, good defence with a weakness on the

CHAMPION TENNIS NATION

Britain's Distinction

LAVISH AMERICAN PRAISE

"Stock-taking time has come in the world of lawn tennis

Great Britain is the Champion Nation for the second successive year and well deserves ber Laurels," anys Robert C. Bryson, Associate Editor of "American Lawn Tennis" in a recent article. In individual competition abo has also advanced to the first posi tion, Frederick John Perry being now undisputably the world's foremost player. Not since the days of Tilden in his prime have the two distinctions gone hand in hand. So far as present appear.. ances go Great Britain's supre macy will continue. No player equal to the task of dethroning Perry is seen upon the horizon, nor is any nation likely to win the Davis Cup so long as Perry and Austin retain their incomparable form and skill.

It may be said that it is taking long chances to rely solely on two men, as Great Britain docs, with- out reservos of any kind. But there is nothing that can be done about --anve walt for another near-miracle to bring re-inforce- ments.
