CLUB AND KOWLOON "A" DRAW.
GOOD BATTING DISPLAY BY KOWLOON.
When time was renched in the Club ». Kowloon match which was played on the Club Ground on Saturday, the Club wanted 31 runs to win, and there were three wickets to fall, the game thus end- ing in a draw somewhat in favour of Kowloon Batting Grat, Kowloon did exceedingly well, and opened with a first! wicket stand which produced 61 rupe. This was followed by some sound run- getting on the part of B. D. Evans, in particular, and Lt. Grey, who tous the score from 84 to 207 before a separation Was brought about. Evans 76 was delightful exhibition of good, clean hit- ting, the score including fourteen fours Grey also had ten boundary hits to his credit. Tayler was the only Club bowler to do any good, and his 4 for 62 was 2 commendable achievement where so aany failed. After a poor opening, the Club batsmen commenced to score freely, with the obvious intention of forcing a win against time.
However, they found this task beyond them, and, after seven bowlers had been tried, a drew was the
result. Scores : ----

After the interval the sappers came up and Talford, trying to stop Pearce, en- ceded a corner. The Engineers did not benefit much by it, however, as Townsend seat the ball high over the bar. The R.G.A. then got away, but Hortop wont back and averted the danger, while an other effort by the gunners was spoiled by offside. beauty from Youngman was wasted, Leighton failing to get to it and Halls putting it over. Another nice pass across the goalmouth resulted in a duel between Halle and Wilkinson, but the latter won. In this half a large portion of the time was spent around The R.E. goal, but whenever the sappors broke away they nearly always managed to get into the vicinity of the opposing goal before Garrod, Caple or Dickenson could stop them. Townsend (R.E.) once came up in great style and Dickenson, leaving the ball to Garrod, tried to keep the man off. Townsend, however, by a very quick foot movement, just managed to touch the ball sufficiently to alter its light, with the result that Garrod had to make a very special effort in order to clear. Halls put in a nice centre, but it was not accepted. Youngman, who has disappointed a good many of his admirers lately, played a splendid game on the right wing and put in many beautiful centres, only one of which, however, met with its reward. The sappers were off again, and Townsend (RA), who was narking Millard, stopped to appeal for offaide, with the consequence that Millard got away and created danger in the Artillery zone.

Truc, the Athletic, on occasions, swarmed around the Kowloon goal, and did everything but score, but they must have been greatly surprised at the fine game the men from Kowloon put up against them. Kowloon had chances, but, like their opponents, were weak in front of goal, while when they did put in good shots the custodian managed to bring off a good save. gers nearly did the trick on one occasion, but the goalkeeper warded off the danger.

This was the only uneven game of the day. The soldiers proved much too strong for the civilians, and it was soon evident that it was not a question of who would win, but of how many goals the vietors would win by. The E.S.L.L. notched three in the first half, Matthews claiming two and Lloyde one, the Lusi tano failing to reply,
Those teams met in the Hongkong League, on the Navy Ground. Shropshire forwards were the more ag gressive, but Hopper and Martin were in pretty good form and renesally had the In hand. Braddock, s the right wing, cleverly eluded several, but Hopper managed to pull up. Williams tested Crocker with a long shot, which the latter punched way. Shortly afterwards Morris sent in another long one. Prit chards was well up and, before Crocker who was obviously handicapped by the sun, could clear, managed to hustle the ball into goal. The Navy forwards then put in some good work, Daniels at out side left making a fine effort. A pass from Palmer to Smith was followed by Plimmer added the fourth for his side, to save.
