In consequence of forcing a draw- somewhat luckily too-the Chinese Amateur Athletic Federation have won the cup for the first time, as they beat the F.A. in the first match of the series. The game was not dull, but the result created an anti-climax to the expectation that one of the two teams would achieve a decisive verdict.
