Below are given the local league tables to date, and a brief study of jihem will disclose some very interesting positions. The Savoia Grenadiers have been deleted from [the tables, and all games with them ihave been nullified. The match between the ASF. and the Seaforth Highlanders also having been nullified, the latter team remain the [only unbeaten team in the first division. The competition in the senior league is definitely much more open than last year, no team in the first six being able to think that they have an easy. thing in beating any of the other five. This may sound rather hard on Aurora and Lusitano, but they have too much leeway to make up to catch the leaders.
In the Second Division the Public and Thomas Hanbury are certainly making their weight felt, having played four games ithout defeat and piling up a convincing number of goals for, with very few against. This team, on their present form are almost sure of promotion to the senior circle next season. The British Navy are also undefeated in this division, but no reliance can be placed on this side because of the fact that the team is represented by men from the ships present when the fixtures come along, This is unfortunate for the British Navy as a team, because the ships are alwa: being relieved after a stay of, at the most, a month, and the competitive spirit which may have developed during their stay has to be taken up anew by the team from the ship arriving, which may be just a gunboat, with only forty or so men to pick a team from, P.TH. are also leading the third division, having played three games without dropping a point.
