BRASHER TAKES A WATER JUMP
First Division Race Wide Open, But The Optimists Are In A Very Sound Position

By "RECORDER”
As a result of Army South having been held to a draw by the Indian Recrea- tion Club at Sookunpoo and the Kowloon Cricket Club also being held to a draw by the HKCC Scorpions at Cox's Path on Saturday, the First Diviston Cricket League race is again very wide open mid-way through the season.
The HKCC Optimists, with two games in hand on Army South and the KCC and only four points behind are, however, in a very sound position. Fair outsiders at this stage are the RAF, who would have been in a better position if they had not faltered against Army North at Sookunpoo on Saturday,
This is how the various teams ↑ same score, now stand in the First Division:
