TO-MORROW'S DIG MATCH IN "B" DIVISION.
C.R.C. v. SOUTH CHINA.
Eight matches were decided in the tenpls league last Saturday, despite the threatening weather. Spasmodic showers in the morning which continued until almost the last minute before starting time completely ruined some of the courts, but thanks to the intense heat of the sun an otherwise blank day was avoided.
