CRICKET NOTES
Club Collapses
Against Indians
to
A fine, warm day. a good; !! tatist wicket, no really dangerous fist bowler opposed to them- stali wonder that a score of al Least 150, made comfortably, was expected when the Hong Kong won the toss and Cricket Club Harry Owen-Hughes elected take first knock against the In- alau Recreation Club on the Town ground last Saturday. What ac- tually happened was that the last wicket fell at 3.23 for a total of 47 runs. Of these Owen-Hughes (22) and Alee Pearce (13) claimed 35. Save for their brief partner stup of 20 minutes for the fourth wicket, which realised 29 runs, it was a sad procession,

The other Indian bowlers, perhaps with the single exception of A. 'H. Madar, are similarly mercurial in temperament."

FINE STUMPING
That policy of attack is just what the Club men, particularly Alec Pearce, did not adopt in this game. To be fair, one or two of them did not have 1 chance. Elibee was finely held by M el Arcull at gully off Minu and "Tam" Pearce was the victim of a ntece of stumping by Ismail, also JA Minu, of which I vertly balleve the other wicket-keeper in

NORFOLK HANDICAP-FIRST
SECTION"
Mr. Ip Kut Ying will again ride Tiny Star and this combination will be dificult to beat as the Dony is at top form. Ythan may atone for past failures and give Tiny Star a good fight as this chestnut grin, belonging to Sir Vandeleur Grayburn, has come on well in his morning work. Valor- ous has only another few pounds to look after as a penalty for a close second at the last meeting and should therefore not be ne- glected. It Plain View had the same form to go by as when Mr. Plh steered this Lan candidate past the post in the Kwangtung Handicap I will have no hesita- tion in tipping this pony. but it seems that this black has fallen off a Uttle, though not sufficiently to be entirely out of the running. Of the other probable starters I favour Diogenes and Gold Coin
as possibilities.
SURREY HANDICAP
Bear Claw will certainly take no chances this time and should, just about get home in this "A" Class event from the two mile post, al- though King's Warden ist and will force the, Dunbar entry to give of the best. Gladiator is, in my estimation, the Attest pony in this field and if the distance were shorter I would be sorely tempted of tip him to win. However, this bay would be a good place bet, and for those looking for good re- turns a $5 win ticket would not and be out of line. Wild Life Happy Eve are about the only others that are worth considering. Diana Bay, I have been given to understand, may not accept.

are Important factors. There are several, pontes with dis- tinct chances but I would recom- ménd Potentate, Honeymioch Eve and Havoc Eve, even though the latter two have definitely proved that they are better over longer· distances. King's Coronation will be making her debut in the "B" Class but remember that this Is very fast and should therefore not be overlooked. Rose another one of those Queen is temperamental animals that comes up when you least expect it to do so, as was the case at the last meeting; but I cannot see her re- peating the success. The light weights, King's Justice, Tyne and Red Feather have outside chances. This event should be closely con- tested and run in quite fast time. FREEMANTLE ST. LEGER
