CRAIGENGOWER BEAT CIVIL SERVICE.
FULL WEEK-END PRO. GRAMME.
The high standard of Hong Kong Cricket was well maintained over the week-end and some interesting performances have been returned. Bowlers on the whole, had the upper hand and scores were general ly low. Competition, proved to be very keen in both League and Friendly matches.
The surprise of the day was the convincing victory of Craigengower over the Civil Service. Not since 1920 have Craigongower figured prominently in the League, but they" have shown up very well, so, för, in the current season and they now occupy the leading position in the League table. They have plenty of talent in the team and their pro- gress will be closely watched. In the other first division match, the Chinese Recreation Club showed up extremely well against the Royal Navy and at the end of the match, which was drawn, they were in the botter position. Only one match in the Second Division was played, the Civil Service accounting for thei Royal Engineers.
The most interesting friendly -match-on-Saturday was that bo tween the Hong Kong Cricket Club and the Kowloon Cricket Club. Low and slow scoring took place and honours were evenly divided at the -close-of-the-match which ended in
