Kowloon Cricket Club and Club da Recreio udded wins to their
It seems such a pity that they did not join with the Royal Corps of Signals again as they did inst year. They would have a much stronger side then as there are some very useful cricketere on both THE QUESTION OF LEAGUE sides. I understand they will com hine again next year, and provided there will not be so many changes, due to movements of troops, they will be a team to be reckoned with.
Recreio had a very easy time against the Royal Army Servico Corps. That was as expected, for although the latter are a very keen lot, they are not exceptionally strong. Next year, I am afraid they will be without the services of Simpson who has been their mainstay in the attack for the past few seasons; I understand that player has left the army and has taken up a position with the Gov ernment. He should prove an as- set to the Civil Servico Cricket Club,
lista on Saturday when they took the points from the Royal Engine erg and Royal, Army Service Corps respectively. The former had to, fight hard for their win, and the re- sult was not arrived at until the

I noticed Mackay and Lawrence turned out for the K.C. C., and since they have been more or less playing regularly for their first sievon, I do not think it was very fair to let them take part in a second division league gamo.. I mentioned some time ago that there need to be a rule about first divi Rion players not being allowed to turn out for the seconds. This was questioned in some quarters but I maintain that there was such a rule. If my memory serves me, there, used to be a register of firat oleven players. I think every Club running two teams had to register
lowed to take part in any second division league matches. The rule is not worded exactly like that, perhaps, but it was meant to give that understanding. However, it wil be better, perhaps, to leave the Juatter over till the next meeting of the Cricket League when it is hoped the matter will be properly
thrashed out.

The Services' Team.
On form they ought to get beaten badly ne there is very little batting strength when the Club attack is considered. But cricket's a comic game and they may give the Club a surprise.
As far as I know, there are two matches scheduled for this week end. Craigongower are due to meet Kowloon at Happy Valley to the while the Police go over Civil Service ground. I expect the Kowloon team to win fairly mai ly and although the 8. S. C., C. ought to boat the Police, I will not by at all surprised if the latter spring a surprise. like they did. Their bowler is Sig. Williams and when the teams met in a friendly I shall be very interested to see him Jin action again.

doubt their fielding rather unless it has come on since Christmas. By the way, what has happened to Boumphrey's swerve! He was a very useful bowter when out bere before.
Regarding the game itself, it was a very close one and I was very surprised to see the Engineers making such n good fight of it. Moehar passed the half-century mark and had very able support from some of his team mates. It was a pity they did not win, for. from what I heard, they deserved
