ENGLAND XI FINISH POORLY AFTER A GOOD START

Chinese Enter Final Of 'Sunday Herald Charity Cup Soccer Competition

(By "Abe")

The "Sunday Herald" International Charity Cup match between China and England at Caro- line Hill yesterday started full of promise but onded on a farcical note, and a record crowd saw play deterioratë until it became a very mediocre gamo indeed.

After conceding a goal in the seventh minute, China recovered and finally won by four goals to one. The margin of victory might have been wider had the Chinese forwards gone all out in the second half; but victory being already assured, they were content merely to play around.

The English team started so well that the hopes of their supporters must have been raised very Ligh; but after scoring the frat goal, their attacks were checked, and when the Chinese forwards look a hand in the gune, there was never any doubt regarding the Anal issue. The Eng- tish defenders played well right to the end, but the forwards were extremely ragged in their methods after the first 20 minutes or so, anel thereafter they seldom pot within stinating distance.
