A blank week end last week in the Cricket world was annoying bul I do not think we can complain to much! After all the weather, if a bit chilly at times, has been quite propitious and I cannot call to mind

At the moment ofBared their first defeat this writing it looks pretty murky, bat gason at the hands of the King's with any luck we may get to mar Own Scottish Bordarer' by 45 runs row's games played off.
The Scottish Borderers batted fres and could only make 130 runs Guest took two valuable wickets, thos of Capt. Thorp and Pte. Everest just when they appeared set. Kowloon then failed against ex- client bowling and were dismissed for St runs Brace, 25, and Capta Morris, 36, were the outstanding bataman. Capt. Dobble did most damage with the ball, taking i wickets for 97 runk »
The Delay In The League, The state of the Senior Division very bad, though a series of diff culties have arisen Naturally the Interport Trials upset everything to start with, and the question of grounds has also contributed a good deal to the hang-up. The Barder ers have been in Camp and lost their first available Saturday last week through rain. They thus have eight more matches to play and no ground The Indians are a bit behind too owing to Interport trials and a couple of postponements.

grounds difficulty to compete with. The Police and the Indians have only one more game apiece and the latter must be on top. Should they lose, however, and Police win then a tie would result, while if Recreio won both their outstanding matches 8 well it would be a triple tie.' As however a draw will put the I.R.C. in an anbeatable position I don't think they need be nervous, about not pulling off the Shield.
Next Week's Matches. Civil Service are at home to the Borderers and I think it is just as well that the wicket has had a bit of rain on it before Dobhie bowls. It is, however, wonderful how well it playa in spite of ita looks and its locality, unfenced and without nearly enough soil en top of the reclamation filling chiefly brickbats and broken tiles I have been told I should not be surprised to see the C.S. win, but as I think I have remarked before, a tremendous lot depends upon Debbie.

The Club are at home to the R.E. and Signals but I should not be surprised to hear that the match was off. Barring a hopeless col-W lapse on the part el Kowloon the Club, with points for a games cannot well hope to win the League. But they should take three points to-morrow if the game is played.
The Chinese are at home to the Navy. A side now a shadow of its former self. The visitors, how- ever, should be good enough to win. The C.R.C. bowling is quite useful but I rather doubt their batsmen's capacity to deal with Beatty if he is in anything like good form.
The most interesting match of the lot will be the postponed match, LE.C... Kowloon, which is being played at Sookumpoo to-morrow. I should be pretty confident of the result were the venue of the game different. But the lions of Kow- loon have a knack of turning into woolley lambs when they visit
