THE JUNIOR POSITION.

Many mouths dropped when "Ories" received - a wallop ' from Athletic last Saturday. It meant two things; Oriental's last chance to climb among, the lofty, on the ladder, and Athletics annexation of the championship, or hear enough' to count as a certainty. . . Still, there were mouths that didn't drop, and Athletic, who have had thirteen decisive wins out of fourteen games played, have: thoroughly deserved their high place. They . have scored: 188 > points, and had. only -59 points scored against them. .Jolly good going. By virtue of having played two games more than the leaders, Porlrua top the ladder with thirteen wins.and only, two losses..' They .also have played commendable football. . Eastbourne and Oriental, ' who have been fighting all' along 'for supremacy, are now all square in ' championship points, but "Orles" have .played one more game than the Bay team. Old Boys have supplanted Berhampore, who, with one game m advance of Old Boys, are a championship point down. . . . •■■■■•.
