CRAIGENGOWER
SHOULD HAVE A USEFUL ELEVEN
By "Incog."
Rumours have been in circulation to the effect that there is to be a general exodus from Craigen- gower Cricket Club this season, but supporters of that club will be glad to learn that there is no truth at all in these reports, and that Zimmern, A. J. Hulse, A. K. Ismail and Souza will be providing the nucleus of the side.
CRICKET NEXT SUNDAY
Although Craigengower will not be able to turn out as good a team as they had in 1938-39, when they were joint champions with Indian Recreation Club, they will also have A. M. Omar (fast right-hand bowler), U. H. Ismail (left-hand spin bowler), C. W. Lam, a useful all-rounder from last season's second eleven; to reinforce the side, while I hear there is a distinct possibility that
