Kowloon and Middlesex, at the head of the First Division of the Hongkong Football League, clung tena- ciously to their lead when they met last week. Neither side was able to score, and the finish left them still on top of the tables, though with the advantage of only one point over South China "B", which has played two matches less.

It has happened before that first news of a fight in London has reached us via the Atlantic cables.
