The Navy in this fosquet showed up in marked contrast to the Army. Their catching was really good. With a little more practise, they "should prove a better side than was generally expected in the forthcoming Triangular Tourna ment. Their batting too was good and enterprising. Yenn's eighty odd was a very good knock. Dale and Armytage also batted well, the latter indulging in some mighty hitting

Chief interest in the League games 00 Saturday centred around the match between Kow- leon and the Indian's" "A". Buth sides were more or less at full strength and the result was a draw, Unleas anything unforseen hap- pons, it is almost impossible for two teams as strong as those participating in this game to bring it to a definite conclusion in three and threg quarter hours play. 1 must say as a general ruic, I am agulust juggling with the laws of ericket, but it would be interest- inr to see how some such scherme as giving each side half the play- ing time in which to but would work out ip Saturday afternoon League cricket. Failing this, it, might be worth while trying the rules adopted for the pick-up game which took plice after the recent Interport matches. They were
(a) Any batsman playing a maiden over lost his wicket and (b) no bowler was allowed to have more than three overs in suecssion. The game in question certainly produced some lively cricket.
I make the atave remarks ap- plicable only to Saturday afternoon League cricket and not in sense to two or three day matches.
