CHAMPIONSHIP QUEST
UNEXPECTED VAGARIES WHICH UPSET THE ARMY
"VERITAS" & LEAGUE CRICKET
(By R. Abbit)
As the Army was the only team that could reasonably hope to extend the Club in the race for the Senior Shield, I went along to Craigengower to have a look at the game. As I expected the recent wet weather had not helped the C.C.C. pitch to be any better. It looked very nice, but played like the very devil, as those, which did not shoot along the ground, hung abominably and popped up. It was not surprising therefore, deal with Smith and Robert Lee. that the Army did not make very The visitors had no difficulty in much of it, but full credit must be winning by eight wickets. given to Tinker Lee and Omor for tho excellent uso they made of it. They kept a most excellent length and spun the ball while howling sufficiently fast to give the bata men little time to alter the strokea to meet with unexpected vagaries

JUNIOR GAMES
The surprise of the Junior Lenguo was the defeat of the J.R.C. 2nd XI by the Sappers. The moral effect of two Colonels in the side may have had something to do with it. Anyway, the L.R.C. butting broke down badly, and they were all out for eighty-two.

Some Possible Matches
Now York.
Once more Madison Square Garden is toying with the iden of a big outdoor fight in Florida in February, when the north is snowbound, and people with the time and money to play, head for the southland.
The winter custom Tex Rickard inaugurated in 1929 with a $400,000 match he never lived to see, between Büll Stribling and Jack Sharkey at Miami Beach, didn't turn out at all well last February. Primo Carnera and Tommy Loughran drew barely one-tenth of that for a beavyweight championship match in Miami.

The Club were not at their best on Saturday Inst, but they won their gamo comfortably enough. I am coming to the conclusion that T.
their best opening combination is that of Ricketts and T. — ̄ ̄ ̄A. Pearce. There is the complete variety of break, but of course the two are too much of the same pace to be an ideal pair,
