KOWLOON v. INDIANS.
Played at Sookumpon Valley on Saturday, this match resulted in a draw. The Indians batted first and compiled 157, a very respectable figure, which, but for the interven- tion of time, would have given Kow- loon no chance. The highest con- tributor was S. H. Ismail with a pretty 50. Other double figures were J. S. Curreem 23, A. H. Rumjahn 22, 0. Ismail 17, and S. D. Ismail 15.
