CRICKET NOTES.
The week end, as often in Octo- ber, gave us ideal"cricketing wea. ther, but, owing to the drought, pitches are rapidly baking harder and harder and it is much to be feared that, unless we get a good downpour within another month, they will not stand the west and tear of the season. Some of them are already bumping nastily and if, as seems likely, stringent restric tions on the use of water have soon to be enforced, they are bound to get steadily worse. -

LR.C. Batting Aret the Indians made a very poor start against Ross' off-breaks but then H. A Rumjahn and A. H. Madar came together and put on 80 in an hour by good though somewhat lucky cricket. Several chances in the slips were not taken, and things booked bad for the K.C.C. until Goodwin, whose first spell had been unproductive, came on again and 6nished off the innings in seven further overs in which "he got a wickets (all clean bowled) for 15 runs, an excellent bit of bowl. ing which augurs well for his team's prospects in the League,
Kowloon did not have much Trouble in getting the necessary ruas, thanks mainly to another very fine koock by E. F. Fincher, whose 67 included fours, but there were only a very few minutes to go when the winning hit was mxde..
*
The only other League match was that in the 2nd Division between the Police and the I.R.C. end. The Indians had 190 on the board ter 4 wickets, but then Alexander ran through the tail and ended up with the excellent analysis of a for 40. Set to make 137 to win the Police failed by 33, despite a good effort by Lacey. Most of them found the bowing of the two youngsters. I. M. A. and A. M. Rumjahn, a bit too good for them."
To come now to the friendlies," the H.K.C.C. Married v. Single game was quite a good one. Six of the bachelors got into double figures, Owen Hughes being top scorar with,, 34, a good and steady knock, but the feature of the" ina ings was the untiring work of Col. Christian. He bowled unchanged for nearly two hours during which he seat down 23 overs with 9 maidens and got a wickets for 83. Some of us remember him as a pre- decessor in the Gunners of Have- lock Davis and as the fast bowler of the 1912-13 Season when he got 5 Shanghai wickete for 50, and what he has since then lost in speed he has gained in length and guile. I-Col. Wyatt, as I antici pated last week, also bowled excel- lently getting 5 wickets for 11' runs apiece.
For the "Marrieds" Hayward's 31 was a sterling innings and with Thorp and Gillingham helping him out the score bad reached 196 for 6 when time came a fairly even draw. The bachelors' bowling was steady without being brilliant, Val- Jack (who came on fate) being the most successful with 2 for 13.
At Pokfulam the University were only prevented by Omar from fore- ing a win against Craigengower. The latter looked a few years ago like becoming quite a class bowler: but he seems to have developed his batting at the expense of his bowl- ing-a pity, perhaps, because good bowlers are searce out here..

Sam Kwa was called to the door by her step-daughter to receive the letter from a man who held it u his hand, while another man, stood, by carrying a basket. On opening the cover it was found to contain a piece of blank paper. Arguments followed between the women and the bearer of the letter, when a lodger named Chan Chung scented danger and blew a police whistle. The women were then pushed through the doorway into a rear cubicle by the two men, who were later assisted by a third man who appeared with a revolver, which he pointed at the women while his colleagues The proceeded to tie them up. fourth man was seen by one of the victims in the passage way while. they were being pushed into the cubicle. The younger woman stated that the man with the revolver took away from her a gold necklace to which was attached a pendant and watch. This was not found by the police.
While the robbers were busy the lodger Chan broke out again with a cry of save life." The robbers took to flight, and the man with the revolver dealt Chan a blow in the eye with the baft of the weapon. At an identification parade, the younger woman witness picked out three men as those she had seen at the robbery, but the was unable to identify the man who carried the revolver as she stated that a felt bat was drawn over his face while he was in the house.
The case was adjourned.

Three Chinese pleaded guilty before Mr. R. E. Lindsell at the Central Magistracy yesterday to & charge of stealing 586 pounds of tin foil from the Hop Yick factory at Causeway Bay. Two other men, a thetal dealer and his foki were charged with receiving the stolen
property.
A plea of not guilty was entered by the fourth defendant, the metal dealer, through his solicitor, Mr. Leo D'Almada.
Mr. Hin Shing Lo (instructed by Mr. J. M. Hall), who prosecuted asked for the discharge of the fuki, who, he said was only a subordinate and was being used as a catapaw. He proposed to call him as King's evidence. This man was according ly discharged.
In outlining his case, Mr. Lo said
The folk who will suffer will be our service inen. Truly it will be a disappointment to me and a dis
couragement too-but what of the men. Perhaps if I had the ability of some I might be able to pen such an appeal that no one could be
honest with himself and fail to not that respond. But I have ability and so I can only point to the man in Khaki and blue and say will you do it for them?"
