CRICKET NOTES.
YET ANOTHER SURPRISE.
Yet another surprise and a real one this time came along last Satur. day in the First League. The only game played was between the Chi nese Recreation Club and the Uni- veraity. Personally though I would expect Kowloon to beat the Univer- sity seven times out of tàn, should be much more convinced of the ability of the University to defeat the Chinese." But instead. they got as bad a beating as did Kowloon! There are two points which stand out particularly in these two "crowning mercies."'_if_I nay so term them," of the C.R.C. In the first place they are, both almost entirel, personal triumph for W. C. Hung. I gave details of his performance against Kowlova last week. On Saturday as be made 31 runs out of 139 and took 8 wickets for 37. He thus totalled in two consecutive matches 110 runs and 13 wickets for 76 runs. In the seand place, "in- each`game the C.R.C. made what ene is tempted to call an impertinent declaration
One hundred and forty against Kowloon! One hundred and thirty- eight against the University! But it is an impertinence which might well be held to amount to genius.
The interesting point will be now whether the University will bent the Hong Kong Club to-morrow. It is most unlikely. And yet it is not more unlikely than that they should ba beaten by the C.R.C.
