The honour of scoring the first possible of the

season fell to the Taikou rink of W. Melrose, W. C. Bovard, T. F. Stalnton and J. C. Chalmers, who performed the feat against J, S. Howell, E. L. Strange, J. Bench and Dr. J. A. R. Selby, of the Hongkong F. C. Each member of Chalmers rink deserves his bottle of whisky from Messrs. Gande, Price.

Besides this eight, a seven was re- corded by W W. Groves, A. Eastman, P. Younghusband and T. Fergusson, of the Kowloon F.C., against W. Glen- dinning, N. Fraser, J. R. MoWalter and J. S. Riddell, of the Police R.C.,: while teh sixes were scored during the afternoon.

Not for a long time has such tall scaring occurred in the same after-

noon.

INDIANS SURPRISED

There were some interesting results. In the First Division. tho hitherto unbeaten Indian R.C. came a cropper against the Club de Recreio "B"

who thanks to victories by J. J. Basto and B. Basto, won by nine shots. The one played due like every other during the day, was marred to a certain extent by rain, which drove the players to nheiter on several occasions and made the green very tricky.

The South China A.A. foot- ball tourists played their first match at Saigon on Saturday when they defeated the Saigon champions by three goals to two,

The tourists were in in the first half, but in the se- cond Fung King-cheung scored twice, The winning goal was scored when a Saigon defender put the ball into his own net!

F. Channing, H. Brown, W. Malr and J. Fender, however, had a day out against R. R. Davies, R. R. Wood, L. A. Collyer and J. Denkin. The play in the first few heads gave no hint of the debacle to come, although by the end of the eighth head, Fender was leading by 7-4.

Then came a spell of scoring for Fender

By the end of this spell, Fender was leading 30-4 and he finished the game with a 40-7 victory.

M. N. Rakusen conceded two sixes in his match against Jock Orem, who won by 30-16.

TWO MATCHES OFF

F. X. Soares was the only home skip to be beaten, but then he was up against the Indians' best rink, skipped by A. K. Minu.

CHAMPIONS WIN AGAIN With the Indians' defeat and their Kowloon Docks, own victory over the Club de Recreio "A", last year's champlons, are now the only team in the First Division to have an unbeaten record. All three rinks were successful at Kowloon Docks, the margin of victory for the whole team being 20 shots.

Once more, Carlos Silva's four did best for the Recreio. Against R. Lapsley's rink, they won by 20-7 after leading all the way. They were leading 4-0, 6-3, 17-3, 24-5 and Anahed up 20-7 to the good.
