CLUB-SERVICES
CRICKET GAME DESCRIBED
BALLARD HAS AMAZING
SPELL OF BOWLING
SEVEN MAIDEN OVERS IN
SUCCESSION
WHAT HAPPE NED TO THE
WICKET YESTERDAY?
(By R. Abbit)
On Monday last, just after eleven o'clock the Hong- kong Cricket Club, for whom Hayward had won the toss, went in to bat against the United Services team, which was pretty much as I expected save that Clayton took Holland-Martin's place. At the last minute, Johnson could not turn out and Lt. Howie, a naval flying man attached to Kai Tak for the time, I gather, came in to fill the vacancy. The weather was dull but pleasant enough, but the pitch was very dead, and the ball did not turn very much.

It was not quick scoring Duckitt showed far mogo nggresive on the whole, for the ground, that is, ness than usual and drove Garthwalto but it must be remembered that through the covers, hooked him to Ballard (27-15-69-3) and Garthwatte long leg, and squaro cut Rice-Evans, (33-4-05-6) had bowled very steadily.
