GOOD AVERAGES

Absence Of Bowlers Chief Trouble At H.K.C.C.
OWEN HUGHES HEADS BATTING AVERAGE
(By R. Abbit)
In the last few days I have received two sets of figures, one from the Hongkong Club, and one from the leaders in last Season's school cricket, the Central British School. And I am much obliged to my contributors. It is interesting to get them practically together as it is to be hoped that the lack of good recruits disclosed in the Club's figures may be offset by the fact that the school figures show that, locally at all events, we have a few useful youngsters coming along. Whether or no they will be saved to the game and pass on into the ranks of our various Club sides remains to be seen. The Club have had a most difficult
