JASSION ruled the league football game at Kiaochow Park yesterday afternoon when the French Forces met defeat at the hands of the Parks United eleven by the odd goal in three before a very large crowd. The game ran smoothly in the first half when the Parks were leading by the only goal scored in the first forty-five minutes, but it became rough in the second, both sides being partly to blame.
The first incident took place some fifteen minutes after resumption.
I. Tsao, the Chinese inside Tight, charged Polly when the latter was in possession of the ball and a fight almost ensued. Roussel, the French left back, ran to the goalie's assistance, but matters were straightened out by the reforce. After the first incident, play became rougher and finally developed into a free-for-all (see picture on next page) when Collet was charged by K. M. Ling, the Chinese left half, from behind.
