VURE GAME REVIEWED BY
MLB WO
One of the best games of the soason tas nesa" on the Kowloon Cricket Club ground on Saturday when the two above-named terms battled for, championship honoure.
The Indians started off with a distinct advantage for they needed only ope point for the much-covated shield whereas Kowloon bad to forge a win in order to be cham- pions..
Under those sircumstances it. wns little wonder that the TBC skip- per decided to put his opponents in aftar he had called right, in the spin. As it turned out, the Indians won, but it was a close call so much so that si ono stage it looked as though Kowloon would win!
Arculli Opens Attack.
The wicket was on the fast side. and this suited Arculli, who open- od the I.R.C. attack, admirably. Lawrence and Smitli started for the K.C.0, and although the Inter was. content with plaging himself in Lawrence was, by no means 'com- fortable against the fast bowler.. The first over to him from Arculli was a maiden and then Smith did the samo thing Bo Rumjaan. Things went on like this for s couple of overs and then Lawrence "nibbled at one from Arculli and was held by Abbas at slips after the wicket-keeper deflected the fight of the ball.
Skinner joined Smith and while the latter was still playing cautious. ly, SkinneŸ hit out merrily but when his score stood at 18, ho jump ed out to one from Rumjaho, miss.. ed the ball and was stumped... Hampton and A. R. F. Raren Both played well but the rest of the side failed against the ER.C, attack with the exception of O. B. Raven who played a stolid knock for 13. Mr."Extras" helped with 19 to bring the Kowloon total to 98.
The Indians Bat.
There is not very much to say about the K.C.C. batting save that it was very steady. Pereira was off colour,--he acemed to me to be trying to turn the ball from leg, and to loso direction, as he bowled far

Kermani also played a good knock and fifty runn were put on before the partnership was broken by Lys taking his second brilliant catch of the day at third slip.
