wm a very creditable second on Friday. Vet in the Newmarket race Longslip will have to give 4 lb. to Holbeach, and as Mount Royal failed to defeat Longslip at 141b. at Newbury, what chance has he of beating Holbeach at the same differ-ence? In fact, Holbeach is 60 well handicapped on latest performences that the Blue Dun enthusiasts-may well be inclined to wonder whether her superior class will be sufficient to counterbalance the great difference in the weights. The position between these two certainly exciting the keenest interest.

Thus it is scarcely too much to expect a distinctly higher standard of play amonj; the London clubs than prevailed during the early months of 191920. Whether these hopes are to be realised the next few weeks will show, but if commiiwee-'men watched their players intelligently last season, they should know whom to drop and whom to bring in from A or "second fifteens. One mait.ter calls for the attention of clubs asking for public support that of punctuality. There was a marked improvement upon the old order of things with several clubs at the beginning of the season, and some of these contrived to turn out to time, but others fell away sadly as the winter progressed. The difficulties and delays of post-war travelling one admits, and sometimes they cannot be surmounted.

Still, clubs announcing a start at a certain hqnx should turn out at that time whether with full team or one or two men short. HOME COUNTIES. Oounty matches played in mid-week are nerer likely to be such big events in the football season as those decided on. Saturdays. From the fact that Saturday dates cannot bo secured, they seem aeoossarily to take second rank to club games.

In tho north and the west, where such matches are always contested on Saturdays, a county cap is the ambition of every player, and cotmty matches attract thousands of people. For many years tha idea has been keenly entertained certain quarters that if only Saturday dotes could bo obtained struggles between, say, Kent and Surrey wouid bo as big affairs as those between Yorkshire and Ianoaehire. Whether that would be so can only be a matter of conjecture, but the conclusion cannot be escaped that in tho Metropolitan area the idea of Satnrday county matches lias made uo headway, and is therefore unlikely to bo realised. Tho difficulties are that, in the first place club football is paramount in London to draw up a world's ranking list, every year, I have not included any Belgian, Dutch or Scandinavian players, let alone Russian and German. 1.

From what one can gather, the season will be one of the busiest in the long history of the game.

Tho annual Tournament promises to provide many interesting games, while the championship, with a record entry of eight, is sure to attract, a lot of attention. So far as the Tout-nament is concerned, tho handicap seems to slightly favour the scratch player who, of course, is champion, V. Smith, and Aiken, who, with a start of 1,500 in games of 16,000 up, may prove a formidable rival to all he meets. Stevenson, Reeoc, Newman, and Falkirier all receive 500 start, and it will again be interesting to see how the members of the younger school fare against the older players as represented hy Stevenson, Reece, and Aiken. The opening game to-morrow is between Smith and Reece, so all lovers of the game will have an early opportunity of seeing what sort of form the champion, is in.

Whether tho hie clubs could so arrange their fixtures that a demand of this kind would not seriously matter seed not be discussed. Home county matches, certainly in the immediate future, are not going to be played on Saturdays.

To get together really good sides will require hard work by county secretaries, and the faniiing-up of considora.ble enthusiasm.

Obviously, the adoptiqn of laws other than those which govern the game in the United Kingdom must have entailed a complete breach, whether Now Zealand so in-ternled or not.

Mr. Wray read a cable which, while expressing disappointment at the alterations presumably that all the suggestions made by New Zealand had not been adopted gave an assurance of loyalty to the English Union. What importance should be attached to this communication we shall know later. Meanwhile, it is refreshing to learn that there is an element in New Zealand anxious to maintain relations with the English Union. There was something very disheartening in the idea of a preach with New Zealanders, from whose players Rugby men in this country learned so much in the season of 1905-6, but, so faT as r.mild lie learned a little while ago, that seemed inevitable.

Much of the trouble which has arisen could probably have been avoided had Now Zealand and Australia accepted the invitation extended to them some long time ago to send representatives to the International Board, and possibly it is not too Into now for 11 renewal of the offer.
