No. 11. Presumably, they played to fill up (as Kelly and Holdman did for the CS. on Saturday) as I see neither went on to bowl. Fry and Wingfield were altogether too good for most of the side. Fletcher, for the Civilians, took five wickets for 30 ranS. I have several times heard it suggested that League matches strictly should be played on Saturdays.
This is not correct.
But what is settled is that no teams may, by mutual arrangement, play a whole day match and count it as a League fixture. The hours of play are the things that matter.
The Yolunteers, as pioneers of Sunday cricket, have been very consistent in turning out an eleven and they have usually a very sound team out. Last Sunday they beat the LR.C, by 40 runs, but the scor-

The K.C.C. had out a fairly good team against the Gunners, and I bear from a reliable source that it was not quite such a one-sided affair as it looks on paper. Col, Christian started bowling the leg theory with four men close in on the leg side. This rather upset Bence, and neither he nor Ramsay, came off Unfortunately, however. Christian continued his theory with the Fin- chers, who rather like that sort of thing, instead of bowling just out side their off-stumps, where both of them are a bit weak at times, They got to out of Kowloon's 18 believe there is a statute of
