Rallying in the last stages, after losing a penalty goal, the, Shanghai Chinese, represented by the entire Lido team, held the Hongkong Interporters to a leah draw at the Canidrome yesterday afternoon in the sec-and game of the current series. The game was packed with action and it was considered more interesting than the match the day before. A crowd of 16,000 watched the contest. Both sides were keyed up to a high pitch because of the closeness, The defence of the two teams was airtight and the forwards were given no chance to get near to the goal. The local Chinese proved much faster and had better chances to break through, but each time they were stopped by the fine tackling of F. Farrow and A. J. Hussian the two backs, and Guy, the centre-half.
J. Hossack, the centre-forward, put in a lot of hard work, always trying to break his way through. However, he lacked the support of Gosano and foughtly desperately to no avail. Ernie Strange. the outside- I left, also played a hard game, but lit experienced too much difficulty in getting away from the sturdy George Collet. F. Farrow, the inside-left, end D. J. Leonard, the inside-right, were only mediocre in their perfor-manees, They did most of the play in midfield. In the second halt Leonard preferred to direct long-range shots, sending over the cross-ber three long ones from a distance of about 30 yards. T. McEwan on the outside right fared disappointingly im such a manner that both Jim Ward and W. Harrison were not fully tested.
For Shanghai, Yvon Segalen, me right-half, Lee and Collet were e mainstays, These three men tool: up the majority of defensive play and, at times, ran up the field to participate in the offensive. Segalen was conspicuous in be: a big hand to both McClarty and Foyn. Roboostoff end K. 8. Suen were their usual, selves, but C. T. Tsao had a hard time as Guy, Hongkong right-half, hung on him like a leach. lo teams were SHANGHAL:—W. Ward, C. Collet, W. Harrison, Y. Segalen, N. Z. Lee. J. Ward. F. Foyn, H. McClarty, V. Roboostoff, K. S. Suen, C. T. Tsao, HONGKONG:—I. Moxham, A. J. Hus-sain, S, Strange, Guy, A. V. Gosano, R. G. Honniball, T. McEwan, D. J. Leonard, J. Hossack, K. Farrow, E. Strange.
