By compiling 131 net uut, Licut Harris, R.N., has displaced Major Gandy, R.E, with the biggest league innings to date this season. He has played in all seven of team's league matches but beyond a score of 31 made against Civil Service; he has no other big figures to his credit. The victory. brings the Navy junior eleven to second place in the league and preserves their unbeaten record. Pomfret's promotion has meant a good deal and if they are to over haul the Sappers in the race for supremacy the bowling must be more formidable than it was last Saturday.

LEAGUE TABLE.
FIRST DIVISION.
Close finishes have become the characteristic features of the R.A.M.C. matches. The match int which they beat the Varsity seconds again went to show that Captain Walker is the mainstay of the team and that beyond him and one or two others, the batting is Indian R.C. very, weak.
After promises of fair batting strength, the Pokfulum juniors could not get going on the tricky wicket and were dismissed cheap- ly. Their bowlers retaliated when the turn came but they were 12 runs too late.
