SOCCER'S CARD.

SENIORS:-; AT BLANDFORO. MEETING OF CELTIC AND THISTLE. KEEN ENCOUNTER EXPECTED. Though it is early,.to attempt forecasts, the position in the senior division of the Soccer championship augurs well 'for a keenly interesting competition. Celtic, the newcomers from whom much was expected, have so far disappointed, and on form to date-would appear to he heading straight foi; relegation. But the team may not yet-have settled down and the officials are determined to take the necessary steps, drastic though these may be, to stop the rot that seems tc> have set in. It can he taken for granted that against their erstwhile colleagues in the Suburban Association, Thistle, whom they meet to-morrow afternoon on Blandford, they".Will make, desperate efforts to throw off the cloak of defeat which seems to have enveloped them and to win their first points. Thistle had a narrow escape last Saturday at Onehunga, .when misunderstandings were ' responsible for therp|V'takiiig the field with nine players. ;TlieiScots are taking no such risks and will be at full strength. Thjr.outcoine is sure to be a stirring encounter.

Tramways, after their great display against Diomede on Wednesday night, will start firm favourites against- One-_ hunga in tlie principal attraction on the Park, but the Manukau side have always proved a stiff hurdle for the corporation team. They have youth and dash aplenty and it may be that Trams, after their herculean efforts in the mid-week game will tire more readily on Saturday afternoon. A surprise result is far from being an unlikely eventuality. Shore and Belmont will provide a rousing battle in their local Derby at Devonport. The latter surprised their more fancied opponents in the corresponding match last year, and anything may happen to-morrow. Onehunga people will be favoured by a fast and even encounter when Ponsonby and Y. j\J> trot out on the local arerui.
