Shanghai Football Rees Beat A. 8

Shanghai, Oct. 27

The thousand oF so spectators that turned out at the Canidrome yesterday to witness the frst Teague encounter between the "Rees" and the ASF, were treated to a game of varying fortunes—a game that was nothing but wild kicks in the first half but which showed us, in the Inst half, some of the play that took the Legion to their past glories. A game that the ASP. lost by a score of 4-3, not so much through misfortune—although they had plenty of this—but through their poor start and their lack-adaisieal display inthe opening period. The ASP. played without the services of either Collet oF Bell, and if Ward had also been Sbsent from the defence they might easily have gone down to the tune of 8-3, As IL was, after Kapustin had scored his hat-trick, Ward moved over to the left back berth and had the danger completely tied up.

'Of the AS.F. team, Ward, Roboostott and Bossout played a' sterling game, while Kapustin and Symons shone' for the "Recs"—in fact one might say that these men were the only ones who played anything ike football in the first halt.

Aldeguer on the left wing of the "Rees" team was, for some. reason, time this season, and I fool that if anybody went away from the ground {fecling that he had not received value for money he must be hard to satisfy.

"Tung-hwa played without the ser-viees of Hyui but had N. Z. Lee in his place and lost nothing by the exchange. The game was fast throughout, and the ultimate decision was contested right up to the last minute. S. F. X. as a team shone with their speed and their quick tackling. Time and again players of this team literally took the ball off the opposing player's foot through their quickness, but from a team who tried hard there were two at least who rose above "all others—Petersson and Ozorio, the reserve who played a5 centre-forward, Tung-Hwa Were all at sea for the first twenty minutes, but after that seemed to settle down to it, and from then on we saw some good football.

the Chinese team the players who sloed out were the goalkeeper and Liang, the left half, although there was a time when the goalie was definitely nervous.

With she minutes to go and trailing fon the shorter end of the 1-0 score, the Shanghai Municipal Police demonstrated yesterday that they were no "fash in the pan" outfit when they staged a rally, emerging winners by the odd goal'in three. A fair crowd turned out at the Race Course yesterday to witness the game and they were not disappointed, oven if only the Inst five. minutes of the match are taken Into consideration, The P/TH. had the better of the ox-changes during the bigger part of the game, but the stalwart Police defence specially the half-line where Paddy Duffy shone with his clever. play—was ever in their The winners were without the services of Willie Ward and Chooklantzeff, but their absence was not noticed much, since the inclusion of Sammy Greenberg in the line-up livened the team's attacking department.

"me hardest worker on the feld, however, was Tivoniuk of the PTH. who was everywhere, whether In cading the attack or helping the defence. The Schoolboys were better than "in their last game when they lost to the Rees and had they better luck in front of the al, the score would have been in their favour. As it is, the Police team was fighting with' their backs to their own goal throughout the encounter, and Bul-pin was lucky to see several drives inches wide, Shanghai, Oct. 28.

Poor sportsmanship on the part of the Jewish players" and spectators rather spoiled an exciting game at the Race' Course yesterday afternoon when Lusitano registered a convince Ri ing victory over the JRC. by the score of #1. The climax to rough play and arguments came in about the" 20th "minute when Sommer handied the ball in the dreaded area and Referee Marchetti gave a penalty against the J.R.C, Sommer was a few fect inside the area, but L. Meyer, skipper of the Jewish eleven, thought otherwise and started arguing the point with the referee. When argu ment was apparently of no avail, the Jewish captain insulted the referee and was promptly sent off the ded. Sti] The Jewish spectators, who formed the better part of the crowd, were then heard to voice their dissatistaction in no uncertain terms, more often than not derogatory to the referee's person.

The Portuguese played the brand of football that they dished out against the Police last Sunday when they were trailing 4-0, and were all over their opponents. "The halt-line, with Oliveira as. pivot, and Cotlaco and Sousa on the wings, mastered the Jewish attacking department from the start and rarely allowed them through. C. "Remedios and Adidi Costa played as backs and afforded ood support to their halves, at the same time covering their goalie well.

the from. line, Favacho and Gaan shone with their clever football, while Bernardo Remedios was always dangerous when in possession. The only weak link in the Portuguese line-up was Barradas, a new player. Dut the second half saw him erds several beautiful passes.

As in all their previous games, the best_man on the JRC. team was Sommer, saving his team time and again when the fall of the citadel seemed imminent, Tuusttane: NE. Sotiza, Costa, ©. Ree medias, "V. Sousa, Oliveira," Gotigco, Birra "i. Htemedis, Caan, Pavacho.
