At Happy Valley, the Royal Corps of Signals did well to beat Craigongower Cricket Club by one wicket. L. C. Reed batted in great atyle for the home. team, collecting 60 runs in chariceless innings. He is one of the best all-rounders of the 0.0.0, and more should be Heard of him as the season goes on.

More middeld play followed and Goldman was again responsible for som good tactics, which resulted in

A scramble near the half-way fine saw Lammert guin possession of the ball, and, instead of run- ning down the line, he went straight through the Cornwall defence to the amarement of the spectators and scored a try. This was certainly the finest piece of work of the after noon.

Promising form was shown by Hunt (Chesterfield) át centre fór ward and Tsson (Kettering) at out- sido left during the Spurs' privata of Clapton trial.

PING PONG LEAGUE.

Scraggy play followed, with the Club, if anything, having the better of the exchanges. About this time Ferguson had to be carried off the field. The Cornwall forwards now pressed very hard and were reward ed with a try which they failed to convert. Another run by the sailors looked dangerous for the Club, but was touched down and daring this serable Geoffery, Lammert was po Woak defence was the main cause cidently kicked on the side, and of the trouble for, although Ful-
