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 fost difficult; MmERTA DISTILLAT BUSTS230890 CUDKARITREAK:982 UN RIOTS FLORENT

GOLDMAN AND MRS. WILSON IN BRIGHT SET OF 11 GAMES
(By "Veritas")
Chinese Recreation Club and U.S.R.C. mixed doubles tennis teams lost their race yesterday against the rain and a threaten- ing thunderstorm, the heavy clouds yielding their watery burdens after two sets had been completed, the match being abandoned at this stage.
Chinese Recreation Club wore hosts, and they had good reason to feel strongly on the subject of adverse found weather conditions. They themselves against a team consider- ably weakencil by the absence of two with prominent lady players and every prospect of pulling off a win.
Quite naturally the U.S.R.C. re- uctions were of an opposite nature. Without Mrs. Kayil, who is suffering from a strained back, and Mrs. Dow ling, who has been in hospital for a week with a poisoned foot. things) looked rather black for them. Theyl were opposed to a team to whom they could afford to give no concessions, and there is little doubt, despite the useful start made by the visitors, that i had the match been completed the] Chinese would have won.
