Keen Race For League Championship

Important Encounter To-morrow: S. China Meets Sing Tao

(By “SCRAMBLER")

WITH THE UNEXPECTED defeat of the strong Sing Tao team by Navy last week, the race for the Senior Championship of the Football League is now keener than over, and all roads will lead to the Football Club ground to-morrow when Sing Tao meet South China. The result of this match will have a strong bearing on the ultimate] destination of the honour.

To date, Eastern are at the head of the table by virtue of their having played one game more and having one point more than South China; Sing Tao with the same number of games as South Chins, are now two points behind the latter.

TRY AND HOLD THAT ONE!

The table to-date for the first four teams is as under:

In order to be still in the running, Sing Tao will have to beat the re- doublable South Chinn to-morrow.

The following week Bouth Chinu meet Eastern and if the latter win their game this Saturday against Club, a win for South Chinn would give

the them bright hopes for honour assuming that South China lose to Sing Tao to-morrow,

The race is so interesting at this store that it is full of other possi ilities. Of course a win for South China would enhance their chances for the Championship.

The merits and demerits of both South China and Sing Tuo will be
