CRICKET NOTES.
Now that the Interport is over and done with, we can get on with the. |League, which perhaps is of more interest
to very many. It certainly affords greater, numbers the delight of taking a personal part in their favourite game.
CRICKET.
KOWLOON C.C. ROYAL ARTILLERY,
EDWLOON'S EXTRAORDINARY-
INNINGS.
Kowloon's innings closed for 58, rubs and soven wen did not score.
It is, however, most regrettable that A feature of yesterday's friendly the fast-falling shades of night elect to match at Kowloon, between the Home fall so early for at least three months side and the Royal Artillery, was Kow- of our nose too long season. We cannot loon's marked failure after the fourth lengthen our days, nor is it reasonable wicket, which fell at 75 runs Fire 'fur- to expect any team to start its match ther wicketa fell without a single run before p.m. At one time I think the being add. Major Lightfoot was one of H.K.C.C. made an effort to start at 145 the victims. p.m. but, of course, they are singularly lavoured by the central location of their ground. Naval and Army teams, too, as a general rule, can get away a bit earlier than the p.m. if he's lucky in the office" civilian. For the latter. 2 p.m, is fair hour, but I am pretty certain that very few matches get under way before 2.15 or 2.20. This should not be so in- deed. I incline to think that a certain amount of dithering round wastes ten minutes at least.
The result of the two First League: matches Saturday proves how difficult, it is to finish a match. Batting has un doubtedly improved in the last twelve years, though more in the direction of! an ability to stay in than to make runs quickly, and it is very hard to finish a match in 3 hours unless batsmen are prepared to hit out carly on and risk their wickets. Of course, this policy in- volves a possible lost match. I have con- sidered the idea of every League match being made to last two Saturday after- noons running, brt it must be confessed there are insuperable difficulties in the way. The continuity of the team could not be assured and this would lead to constant complications.
The Only Way.
I am forced to the conclusion that there is one way, and one way only to get on with things and that is to score points for a win only. A loss or a draw count nothing. Then there would be no tempta tion to make sure of one point at all events by playing for a draw as the side which drew would be no better off than the side which war. This, combined with Ta strict adherence to 2 p.m. start,-and- ten minutes between the innings only, and prompt succession of batsmen, should improve things very considerably. There is no rhyme or reason about a tea interval If a man cannot get through a Saturday afternoon's cricket without a cup of tea, tea can be served a few minutes before the usual declaring time-// say 3.45 and the batting side have it then; while after declaration (or a side out) the incoming fieldsmen can refresh their weary frames while their opponents! in turn take the field.

The Civil Service, have much the same side as in the past few years and though this is a great help in a way, it must be remembered that they grow no younger, Only two of the side are under thirty and they could probably have given ten years per man on an average to their opponents last week. They should do well in the League though, and this ap plies to the I.R.C.--I doubt if they have enough fast-scoring batsmen in the side to win outright. The most likely sides in my opinion are Kowloon and the Navy, The former have plenty of batting and good bowling and are especially dan gerous on their own ground. Brace, when be recovers, for I hear he is ill, will strengthen them in both departments, The Navy, though they bare lost Halsey, are a very strong side.

STOKER HOWARD WANTS TO MEET EWIN.
SOME NEW BOXERS,
Stoker Howard, who is to fight P.0. Francis at the City Hall, is desirous of meeting A.B. Ewin. Ewin has, of course, fought as a middleweight. The fight might come off, but first of all Ewin must fight Morris and defend his title as welterweight champion of the Colony. The first and second rounds of the Morris has accepted Howard's challenge Championship, will be decided on Surat catchweight, but in that case, Howard day, and the draw for the first round as will have too great an advantage in already appeared in the Daily Press. weight.
