Of Finishing Runners-Up

The luck was all against Royal Welch Fusiliers yester- day when, in their quest for runners-up honours in the second division of the local football Icague, they were held to a draw by Royal Ulster Rifles.

Confirmation has been given to the report which appeared in the Telegraph yesterday that Club de Recreio would be un able to play their two remain- ing matches in the first division of the local football league, and that they have conceded the points to East Lancashirea and Police.
