SOCCER CUP TIES.

SEMI-FINALS TO-MORROW. TWO SENIOR FIXTURES." With probably three more Saturdays of the season still to run, the semi-final round of the Senior Cup will occupy four of the senior teams to-morrow afternoon. The games are Ponsonby v. Y.M.C.A. at 1.30, ;and Trams v. Thistle at 3. As extra time is provided for in the event of a draw, either game is liable to be prolonged. The ground conditions are likely to be on the soft side, otherwise some sembla'nce of spectacular football could probably have been anticipated. It is many weeks since Trams appeared at headquarters and their return, should he. welcome. The scoring in both matches may be close and the play hard. The following are the teams:— THlal'iiia.

BUSINESS HOUSES.

KEEN CONTESTS CONTINUE. With the Business Houses competition half-way through, interest is growing, nnd the contests become keener with each round. The fixtures this week produced a surprise in the first defeat so far of the Shell Oil combination, which -was considered to be the strongest in the competition. However, after a gruelling game Kay, Chalmers, Grant and their men fell before the stronggoing Farmers' Trading team, though the greatest obstacle to the "oilers" was tho goalkeeping of Paton, erstwhile Y.M. custodian. The end came with the score Farmers' 2, Shell Oil 1. Abel's wore much too strong and vigorous for Customs, and romped home to the tunc of s—l,5 —1, and the Milk Co. won from the Grand Hotel by three goals. Training College and Automatic Telephones fought a real ding-dong contest with goals galore, the score in the finish being 5 —3 in favour of the 'phonists.
