CRICKET.
Plenty of cricket was played over The R.A.S.C. lost to the Diocesan the weekend, but the season is still Boys' School on their own ground on Wednesday by 65 runs. The very young, and it is difficult yet to get any clear indication of the home sean batted first, and were comparative strength of the raciall out for 69. R. Leo took 5 wie
ous teams.
In the 2nd League it looks as if R.E. & Signals were going to be hard to beat. On Saturday they put it across the H.K.C.C. and good and proper, chiefly owing to the bowling of Lt. Col. Wyatt and Col. Skinner. The former was known last season as a useful all- round cricketer, a forcing bat, and A sound bowler, but an injury pre- vented him from playing; this gea. son he looks like coming into his Q.M.S. Leppard is also u useful player, and the team appar- rently has a tail that is capable of vigorous wagging. The H.K.C.C. batting was most disappointing. only Bonuar, Cornaby and Gilling- ham getting into double águres, but I hear that the wicket was not too good and gave considerable assistance to the bowling. It is not likely that they will go out for so low a score again this season.
own.
After collapsing the previous wook against the University and and coming out in a mournful pro- cession for 30 odd, the Police did very well to beat the Navy 2nd by 15 runa. Thanks to Lacey and Williamson, and despite some ex- cellent bowling by Large, who got 6 for 20, they knocked up 104, and then Lacey with 6 for 42 and Alex- ander with 4 for 15 trundled their opponents qut for 80.
The Hong Kong Electric team put up a good fight against 1.R.C. "Pad, but their batting-apart from that of Murdock and Banks-was rather feeble. The same might be said of the Indians, who, but for Mader and Eitchell, would have been in sorry straits, while the wicket- keeping on both sides seems to
bave left something to be desired.
The friendly betweca the C.S.C.C. and the Queen's Regi: ment went to show that Hawkins has come on well as bat, and that the Club has found a most valuable recruit in Kelly. The lat- ter is & medium gight-arm bowler with a nice action who should get lots of wickets provided he doesn't mind being hit and keeps them well pitched up. It is the most fatal mistake for a young bowler to lapse into trying to sling them down last and thereby to lose his length:

Since gain. ing a walk-over from the Yacht Club, the Recreio team have had a sequence of nine wins, and possess the unique record of having been' unbeaten at home this season. When they meet the Yacht Club to- morrow, it is expected they will run away with the points and place thair promotion prospects beyond dispute.

This victory was gained not so much through brilliant play bus owing to the Portuguese skip saving his aide on his extremely good forza, and the Dockyard dia not pull together as team. It was the Reureto a Brat vanture in the competition, and they started well.

it was unfortunate that Esst Point and Yacht Club started their match late, and the last few ends had to be left over until Monday.
