Toward the end of another week the sole cause for anxiety is the weather. No practices were pos- sible during the week until last night, and even then the overcast sky was ominous as regard the pros- pects for to-morrow, It can only be hoped that the Fates will be an
kind as they were.a week ago and that a full programme of League fixtures will be played to a finish.'

K.C.C. v. Yacht Club.
The Yacht Club last season won by the healthy margin of 82-51 and the previous season by 71--45, Eo that the K.C.C. have consider able leeway to make up this sen Jon. The Yacht Club, good as they are to-day, are not likely to take the K.C.C. too lightly and the figures at the conclusion are like- ly to be much closer than those of the past two seasons.

Kowloon Dock v. C.S.C.C.
A year ago the Civil Service won by six shots, but the previous year they went down by the formidable total of 86-34. Last Saturday's heavy defeat of the Dock by their Portuguese friends is not likely to upset the Dock's equilibrium-if anything, it is likely to spur them on to avenge last season's defeat by the Civil Service. Nor need their defeat by nine shots by the K.B.G.C. lust Saturday worry the Civil Service. It is hinted in one

Batting first, the home county, compiled 188 rane, "Tich" Free- man claiming half the wickets for 85 runs. Kent did not have mat- in their at-

V. W. C. Jupp, the Northants skip- per, took 6 wickets for 99 runs.
In their second Innings North- ants found Hardinge in irresistible form with the ball and consequent- ly totalled but 136 runs. Har- dinge, one of Kent's most useful all-rounders, captured 5 wickets at a cost of just over 2 runs apiece. Requiring 102 runs for victory, Kent won by ten wickets.
The southern county is making
to be hoped that their spirited effort in these early stages will be maintained throughout the season. In these days of 15 points for a win and a mere 5 points for a win on firat innings attractive cricket is re- quired for the garnering of major points. Kent's three victories to date were Essex (innings and

Police v. K.C.C.
Last season the K.C.C. were rather lucky to win by a couple of shots, as they did a couple of years ago. Their early successes this scason are likely to give the K.C.C. plenty of confidence, but that will not deter the Police from going all aut to win on their own green. They have tasted defeat twice, but they have by no means been dis- graced. A win, aven by a small margin, against the K.C.C. would do their young colts a lot of good

London, Yesterday. AI, Brown, the world's bantam- weight champion, defeated Teddy Baldock, the British hope, on technical knock out at Olympia.
The referee intervened in the twelfth round of the Afteen round contest when Baldock
was on his knees for the fourth time in that round. As both boxers fought at nine stone the title was not at stake.
The Panana negro sent Baldock to the boarde four times in the twelfth round, once count

The winner reigned in blows from all angles, and it was when Baldock was on his knees for the fourth time in the twelfth round that the referee intervened.--Reuter.
