Vines used the forecourt much oftener
than in the first two matches. This was probably be cause he knew his ground strokes were not entirely satisfactory, Dut it meant a general speeding up of the game and a much more enter- tuining spectacle.

I.R.C. LOSE F. D. PEREIRA
Is Under Doctor's Orders
It was brought to my notice this mornint, writes R. Abbil sinen writing about the IR.C. v. University first division match prospects, that Frank Percles, the Indians' fast bowler, is under doctor's orders and will not be pinying to-day.
In fact it is very unlikely that he will play again this season.
Ju view of this loss, the chances of the IR.C. beating University must be somewhat qualified.

יזם
There is a completely full pro- gramme to-day in the first division. Civil Service should win draw with Craigengower. Kowloon will, think, heat the Navy, while the University will almost certainly go down to I.R.C. unless anything ama- ring happens. The Hongkong Cric ket Club will almost certainly draw with the Army if they have a full side
out. In cach game I have mentioned the home alde Brst.
SECOND DIVISION
In the second, or junior, division Craigengower should beat the Civil Service but there may be an upset, F suspect draws between Navy und Kowloon. Army B and H.K.C.C. and perhaps Police and Army C. IR.C. shuuld beat the University and I faney Recreio although playing at home will go down to Army B,
The most interesting game to watch will be that between K.C.C. and the Navy. If the latter do not stage a comeback I am afraid that we shall have to admit that the pretty
they general opinion that would be one of the leading oldes this year will take its place with so many other pre-Season prognos- tications.
