PEARCE'S MARATHON BOWLING: F.K. LEE'S INNINGS
(By R. Abbit)
Saturday last was a beautiful day for cricket and players took full advantage of it. The most important league match, and indeed the only one in the first Division was that between the Craigengower and the Cricket Club, played on the C.CC. ground. And that reminds me, I must congratulate the Craigengower green ranger-or whatever, they call him-on the excellent wicket. It played very true with none of the tricks that one has come to regard a inevitable. It was easily the best wicket 1 have ever seenere.
