SERVICE TO READERS
THE HONG KONG,
division of the league As far as I time. Let us hope that he will be can remember, a rule was passed playing cricket regularly this year, some year ago, that the only way for the Recreio can afford to do a new team could get into the first without him if they are to win the division was by winning the second shiek. He is a very reliable bat. division shield and then requesting
a good change bowler, while as a promotion. The Club in question is no new entry to the competition, ever-point, he has very few equals but they have figured in the second division for many years. They did not win the shield last season, so that is why I was somewhat "aur- prised when they were asked if they wanted to play in the senior divi aion this winter.
To my mind, they were quile right in declining to accept the in- vitation, for I feel that sooner or later, they will win promotion in the "approved manner." The nets on their beautiful ground in King's Park have been up for some time now, and every" evening a number of their members can be seen, hard at practice. They are taking things very seriously and are out to win the shield, and for one
wish them the best of luck.
Clah do Recreio have been singu. larly unlucky in the cricket league. More times than I can remember, they have fought their way gallant ly to one of the first two places in the league tables and then, at the critical montent, they would go "to pieces, inse a rather important game, and with it, all hopes of be- ing champions. In this direction, it might be said that the Indian Recreation Chub second eleved havé invariably proved to be their stum- bling block, for out of the many times they have met, I cannot re member more than one occasion
in the Colony:
L. J. Guterres will probably keep wicket for them, but I bear there in a possibility of Jacky Noronha doing so. Of the two, I am of the opinion that Guterres is the better all round man. He is also the more reliable with the bat and has been opening the batting for his side for a good many seasons..
Rumour has it the Reed, who played with such success for Crai Rengower Cricket Club last year will be throwing in his lot with this team, and he should strengthen them very considerably. Other players will include F. H. Car Pereira, G. Guterres, HBarros valho, F. J. Remedios, A. ~P.. Dr. Guterres P. N. M. da Silva and possibly M. Pinna
defeat
Generally looked upon as one of the best fielding sides in the second division, Club de Recreio may also be said to be one of the most sport ing of sides. Victory or comes alike to them, and it is more for the fun of the thing than any. thing else that they put in a team. Their anxiousness to win the cricket shield is not inspired by just "pot hunting."
They start their league season on October 28, against Indian Recrea Lion Club and as it will be a rather hard game, here's wishing them luck.
