To the old rivals, the HE game at Sookuspoo bo-
Indians and the Craigengower C.C., was characterised by soms keen fielding on both sides, and this was partly responsible for the low scores put up. The Indians were dismissed for only 92 when they went in to bat first, thanks to Hubbard, newcomer, who took six wickets for 23 runs. Hia inalysis flattered him, I think, be- cause he got among the fallenders and took three cheap wickets.

This, I am sure, will be one of the best games of the season. The form of the Indians has not been convincing of late, but I would not like to wager which aide will win.
TALKING about fixtures reminds me that very little. interest seems to be taken by officials of the Cricket League. Clubs are allowed to arrange their own fixtures, but no offelal hand-book is issued. I r member some years ago, the League nublished a hand-book containing the oficial fixtures of the year, but this has not been done for the last four or five years. If something on this fine could be done this year, I am ure it would prove a great boon to Club secretaries who will be spared the trouble of confirming mistches wook by week.
