"Football in Manila different from anything I have seen in other parts of the world," said Mr. Tom Smith, Secretary-Manager

of the

Polished Exhibition

Sapper Spence: (RE.) gave the most polished exhiblilon of the even- ing in defeating Cpl. Lane (M'sex). He has the makings of a good boxer, but his weakness Ites in his punch. His defence was good, and gave Lane little chance of reaching the "bul- ton."

The referees were very poor com- pared to those who officiated at the matches in Hongkong, and in most of the games they played in Manila the crowds were biased and expressed their feelings in no uncertain terms when things were not going the right
