Peculiarly enough, Kowloon Docks, who were such a power in the First Division of the League In years gone by, will be fighting hard this after- noon for two points which may yet save them from relegation.

RACES RESUME AT

AREIA PRETA

The English tour of the West Indian cricketers ended abruptly last month owing to the threatening international situation, leaving five matches unplayed. C. B.. Clarke, J. E. D. Sealey, E. A. Williams and T. Johnson are shown packing in their London hotel the day before they sailed from Greenock for Montreal. Subsequent events have proved the wisdom of the manager's decision to end the tour and return home. L. Constantine and E. A. Mariindale were the only two players who remained in England.
