At the H.K.0.0. · The wicket at the Club nets is usually fair, but the other day they were pushed very far over to the south-west corner and one pitch at least was wicked. I trust they will be moved more in front of the Supreme Court in due course. By the way there is ane point which should be kept in mind by all fast bowlers, and that is that they must bowl slower and more on the off if there is a bad wicket or poor light, In the middle of ground the matter is open to argu-
the
J.ment. Unfortunately there are quite a lot of speed-merchants who have very little control over length and direction, and, until suppled down they would do, well in an empty net. As a matter of fact it is one of the best methods of bowl ing oneself in. Patches of paper should be pinned down for the area in which the length ball should R.pitch, and should extend perhaps four inches outside the line of the off stump and a couple outside that of the leg stump. Make it from six to nine inches broad, and

I have to acknowledge the ro ceipt of further cards, from the C.S.C.C, LR.O. and the Navy. I see the Club are playing a two- thy match with the Volunteers over the two holidays. The Civil Ser vien have a Club game, and the Navy is not playing unless match has been fixed up recently. I hope to get a few more cards later!

A Naval Disaster,
It is of course a little bit unfair to judge the Navy tenim as they hae somany of the big ships away. The team that went down to the Indians had not many new rianes, and. save for Watson and Villiers, their batting broke down. hopelessly. The Indians started well enough but then Jenner-Fuat came ou and did some excellent work. Speaking subject to correo- tion, I think this is his first ap pearance for the Navy in Hong Kong, and I hope he will bowl on and prove to is the bowlor the Navy want so badly.
