Of the Indian bowlers, Madar might well have been put on earlier, as probably he, alone, would have unsetlled the well-sct opposing batsmen. Sirdar Khan was pitching them down far too short and was very expensive. His open invitation to be pulled to leg was, of course, very readily accepted.

The Senior League season will commence this Saturday with the meeting of Kowloon C. C. and Indian R. C. on the former's ground. Ranked as probably the strongest batting sides in the First Division, it is not likely that this match will be brought to a, definite conclusion. A factor which lends weight to this predic- tion is that the bowling strength of both sides will be sadly deplet ed. Brace, the well-known Inter- port all-rounder, good for a few wickets at any time,, is on the injured list, whilst F. Mel Arculli, who has been doing un- commonly well with the ball for the last four years for the Indiana, will be out of the game altogether, under doctor's orders, for at least one year. Should I.R.C. take first knock, the chances are that Kow- loon will win; otherwise a drawn game will probably eventuate,

The outcome of the Police v. Indian R, C. 2nd XI fixture at Happy Valley is difficult to fore cast. On paper, the visitors look like having the better combinatión, but the Police are Improving with overy match and on their own small ground may upset calcula- tiona. If they succeed in getting M. P. Madar'o wicket cheaply, they should stand a good chance of securing the full points, us Madar, one of IR.C.'s opening bats, although not likely to run up a big score for himself, has the knack of knocking the sting out of the best howling and thus paving the way for other more forceful bateman to pile up a respectable botal: for his "side.
