MISSED CHANCE FOR CHELSEA
Too Sporting A Declaration Gave KCC Four Points At The Expense Of The Indians
By "RECORDER"
With 136 runs on the board and five wickets lost, the Indian Recreation Club's captain, S. H. Khan, seized hold of the bell and merrily tinkled it at Cox's Road on Saturday to call in his team for some warming tea.
To this afternoon most of the IRC team is quite mystified as to why he did this. It was certainly one of the most sporting declarations in the annals of local cricket as the very solid KCC batting side wore given 105 minutes in which to score
137 runs.

Says "TOUCHWOOD"
Give the Army boys their full due for their dogged stand against Eastern, the reigning First Division League Champions. Down two gaols at half time, they trooped back on to the field after the interval to rock their opponents with n 16th minute goal and missed so many chances for the equaliser that it was sheer bad luck that they lost,
Though Eastern emerged 2-1 winners at the South China Stadium they can consider themselves extremely fortunate not to have been beaten, for their display after the interval should have resulted in defeat and only their defence helped them to hold on to their 2-0 lead until the final whistle,
