SOCCER.
Says a casual contributor to the Otago Daily Times: Welcome to the wandering denizens of the Flowery Land! The Martians, perhaps busy with preparations for another “War of the Worlds,” are not on speaking terms with us; but the bland children of another and nearer Celestial country are better “sports.” China versus Otago to'-day: China versus New Zealand on Saturday. May China never come to us in less agreeable guise or with less playful intent! lam no Yellow Peril alarmist. If the pessimists’ nightmare ever comes true it will not be in our time; it will be in the time of “posterity,” and what has posterity ever done for you and me that we should take thought for it? Still, it may be <worth noting that even the Chinese sportsman has his bellicose susceptibilities. At Christchurch on Saturday “Chang and Wang left the field in a huff.”.
