BY L.B.W."
Thanks to its victory over the Club de Recreio at Sookunpon last Saturday, the Indian, Recreation Club is now at the top of the senior cricket League table. From what I saw of the players' form in the match in question, however, I am of the opinion that they will have to show great improvement if they expect to carry off League hon- ours for the season. But it is too early in the season to go into that

To return to the match. Minu, catches won the toss and sert the Portu- guese lads in to bat on a wicket which, if anything, appeared to ine to be a little dead though after a couple of overs the "ball came up a bit on the Plantation end.
In the absence of A. R. Abbas, who was just recovering from a bout of influenza, Minu opened the bowling with M. el Arculit The batsmen, I thought, were too careful with the left-hander and. appeared to be satisfied to let the ball hit the bat. They were also trifle uncomfortable against Arculli who bowled better than he had.done for a long time. I-think- It was because he had chance with the new.ball for he was de- Anitely swerving a bit.

A STUBBORN KNOCK.
Wille Reed played a very stolid knock. He plays with a rank cross bat, but I do not think there is anybody in Hong Kong who watches the ball so closely. He appeared to be seeing them right
onto the bat!
The captain of the Portuguese side, Eddie Gosano, was very con- fident and he was unlucky in being caught by Minu” of “a red-hot square cut. at point. Albert Rodrigues, who used to open the Innings for the University, went in unusually late and by the time he got to the crease things were so bad for his side that he was forced to sit on the splice.

ISMAIL BATS WELL
The Indians had little difficulty In knocking off the runs after they had dismissed the Recreio for 103. S.A. Putty small, their stump- er, who has teen batting very well of late, played a fine Innings for his 73 runs, and but for the fact that he was "having a dip" to- wards the end, I do not think he would have lost his wicket,

It was very nice game. all things considered and the only comment that is left for me to make is that I was surprised Minu did not apply the closure after the Recreio Score was passed Perhaps he wanted to give some of his men a little batting practice.

THE JUDGMENT. Delivering judgment his wor
ship said:
I reserved judgment until this morning partly because, the evi- dence of defendant's good, char acter made me reluctant to record a conviction although up to that, point. I had had no doubt of his gullt. This being a case where the defence contradicts the pro- secution at every point, I hoped that careful examination of the case for the Crown might reveal some Improbabilty or contradic- tion sufficient to enable me to re- Ject it since it is on the strength d the prosecution, and not on the weakness of the defence that s conviction should be founded.
There was also time' for a more elsurdly translation of the re- markable statement, or rather marahilde with which defendant answered the charge at the police Station. The interpreter's Dara- phrase 'does not do justice to the Bitter use of complainant Sham Ting which is to be found in the original. Was this the anger or an innocent man falsely accused, or guilty one trying to bluster it

BLACKMAIL OR TREASUN? The impression was given. throughout the case in spite of my efforts to exclude irrelevent evidence that the trial was not of defendant for blacknall, but of complainant for treason.

Soccer Star Fined And Suspended
London, January 8, Most drastic step so far taken by the Football Association disciplinary committee in their "cleaner football" campaign was made known last night.
Two famous players have been threatened with lite suspen- sion if certain offences are repeated.
The committee's minutes, published yesterday, reveal that J. M. Beattie, of Birmingham F.C., has been suspended for 21 days, and fined £20.
The other player is W. Barraclough, of Colchester United F.C., and formerly of Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers. He has been cautioned.
Both players have also been warned that any further com- plaint against them might lead to permanent suspension from football.
Beattie Transferred
Beattle's present suspension dates from December 14, 1937. so he will be available for Birmingham's Cup-tle on Saturday.
Action in this case followed the Birmingham v. Wolverhamp- ton Wanderers' match at St. Andrew's on November 20.
Late last night it was announced that Beattie had been transferred to Huddersfeld. The fee was not disclosed, but 'is belleved to be a substantial one.
In the case of Barraclough, action is a sequel to incidents in the Southern League match between Colchester and Norwich City reserves on November 25.
Threat of permanent suspension is a rare but not new departure, an FA. official told the "Daily Mirror" last night, No player, however, had so far come in for the ultimate pun- ishment in such circumstances.
Beattle used to play for Wolves, who obtained his transfer from Aberdeen. Then he" went to Blackburn Rovers. This is his second season with Birmingham.
