The first round of the Navy and Army Championship at Leicester Square has proved very successful.

Betts, of the 2nd Batt. Royal Dublin Fusiliers, at Gravesend, but in spite of it he lost the game by 69 points to Sergt. G. Sexton, of the same regiment, who finished with a break of 53. The following are the highest breaks recorded from each Command:—Ireland: 50 by Cpl. A. E. Staker, 61st Batt. R.F.A.. Kildare; Scotland: 57 by Bdr. H. Lesson, 69th Batt. R.F.A..
