Only one more round remains to be played in the first division of the squash rackets league and the posi with the play off of games completed reveals the league standing in a very interesting position. The Race Club "A" and the Rowing Club senior side have still one match in hand and are tied with 9 points each, whereas the Foreign Y.M.C.A. has completed its schedule (apart from one match in the last series).
Odds point to the Race Club and the Rowing Club winning at least three out of their five matches in the last round so the issue will be between these two. The Race Club will play the Columbia Country Club and the Rowing Club the Country Club, the team to win the most points in this round becoming the winner of the league.

Godkin in four games, the visiting player running to his points after Godkin had won the second game in convincing style.
At the Country Club the home team was sadly out of the picture. R. Berglof defeated Hoggarth in five games, the scoring in the third and fourth games being amazing considering the result of the fifth.
