One League Match To-day,
CLUB SHOULD BEAT R. E.
(By.L. B. W.)
Now that the Kowloon Cricket Club have won the senior cricket shield, and with the junior cham- Įpionship almost decided, interest |is beginning to flag in the cricket League, though there still remain a few games to be played.
The Hong Kong Cricket Club juniors will meet the Royal En- gineers in the Second Division of the League to-day on the Club ground and should win in spite of the fact that the Sappers have a very useful side. N. P. Fox and I S. Forbes, both of whom played for the Club first eleven against the Civil Service Cricket Club last week, should make good scores, while the former might also come off with the ball.
The KCC, First Division cham- pions, were to have played the [Rest of the League to-day, bat it was-found- impossible to get to- gether a Rest side at short notice so this match has been put off, possibly until next Saturday:
According to the fixture cards, the only other match arranged for to-day is that between the Civil Service juniors and the Central British School, who have two very useful players in R. Holden and W. Baxter.
