The question which is being asked with monotonous regularity in local cricket circles is whether the Indian Recreation Club can carry off the "double" this year. They have already established themselves as winners of both; divisions, but there is every likeli- hood that other teams may share their triumph. To-day's games against the Craigengower Cricket' Club should settle the question

Indians' Record.
The Indians, on the other hand, have players who are worthy of First League Cricket but have little opportunity of disposing of some of their first eleven players. Their record is indeed a very fine one this year and, assuming that they will win comfortably this, afternoon, are fully deserving of the championship.
Below are appended, as a com- parison, the results of the former matches of the respective Clubs, together with the averages of the leading batsmen and bowlers.
