The league match between the Civil and Royal Engineers provided one of those little surprises that so often come along and which make the game so fascinating.
The Engineers batted first and facing the bowling of Bird and Read contented themselves with scoring at the rate of one ruu per over for quite a long time, the first half hour's play producing something like 20 Bird's bowling was particularly diffoult to play, moiden after maiden being sent down

Considering the difficulty goalkeepers have in holding the ball on a wet day it seems to me to be courting defeat not to supply them with rubber gloves. The slippery hall has had a lot to do with two heavy defeats already this season, and secretaries would do well to see to this matter before the season is much older.
A great fault with local linemen in that they do not keep the fag above their hands when the player is about to throw in the ball This of course adds to the work of the referee, who, in addition to doing his own work has to satisfy himself whether the throw-in was a foal or not.
