Interport Trial Provides No Sensation
DUCKITT BATS WELL
Many Cricket matches were played on Saturday the most im- portant of which was the interport tris played on the Cricket Club ground. There was nothing surprising or sensational in the game with the exception of the poor form shown by many of the selected players. A R. Minu literally played himself into the team when he captured 6 wickets for 54 runs while Dackitt's 35 not out was also a praiseworthy, affort.
In the interport trial, T. E. Hoddinott Pearce's XI piled up 135 runs for Wateridge seven wickets to defeat A. W, Hay- Eaton ward's XL. The top scorer for the Moreton winning team was A. R. Minu, who knocked up 55 runs not out, and Duckitt's 35, muy out, was the next best score.

NEW MEMBERS ATTEND
In spite of two of the affiliated Rifle Clubs having a friendly match on another "range, the attendance at Stonecutters on Saturday afternoon was not only well up to the average, but several new members attended for the first time.
Weather conditions were ideal, although more than one com- petitor was troubled, in the later stages of the shoot, by the wind veering round from six to four o'clock.
',
Probably the outstanding feature of the shooting was the way in which those members, using the aperture sight and sling. have shewn marked improvement in their aggregate scores, when · these are compared with those made a few weeks ago. There is no doubt that this result is solely due to consistent practice, and It is because of this, that the Council drges members to attend as regularly as possible.
It is announced that the "Grimes," Spoon, which is given to the member of the Association, whose scores during the pre- vious month show the greatest Improvement, has been awarded for October, to Private W, H. Peckham, R.AS.C.
