Best match is likely to be at Cox's Road, where Kowloon Cricket Club, senior champions, make their first appearance this season following a trial on Thursday, against their strongest rivals of last sea- son, Club de Recreio.
K. C. C. will be at full strength except for N. A. E. Mackay and R. E. Lee, neither of whom will be playing much this year, and formidable have selected a very eleven which includes F. R. Zim- men, former Craigengower, all- rounder, who will probably open the bowling. There are no other new players but: F. J. Lay R. T.

His lowest, score was Vibing. his 151 and the highest 180. partner. did very well to make a good 732 or an average of 150 pins per game. but he might have done better if he did not collapse in the third game with a poor 134 pins.
Balaski Does Well Balaski, for the opposition, did very well indeed to make 293 or an averago of almost 159 pins per game. Another this seven pins would have given him an
average of 160.

¿Club-Are Strong Club will be entertaining Indian Recreation Club in what should be another good match. Con- trary to previous expectations Club have any amount of talent this year and are well able to field two useful sides. Led by Harry Owen Hughes, the senior team is well-balanced, being par- ticularly sound in batting, where they will have both the Pearces, now in the Army, and T. G. C. Knight, reputed to have played Interport cricket in the north.
