CRAIGENGOWER SURE
OF DOING WELL
E. ZIMMERN HAS A GOOD TEAM FOR CRICKET LEAGUE
(By "Abo")
Not for many years have members of the Craigon- gower C.C. felt so optimistic regarding their prospects in the Cricket League. as they are doing now. They have good reason for feeling confident that they will do well this season; on paper at any rate they can turn out a very well-balanced side.
E. Zimmero, e captain, has at his disposal many players who have been prominent in local crletet for years. He himself is a splendid bat, and will be supported by several batsmen, who are sure to put up a food show. Their bowling, if not brilliant, is nevertheless sound, and their fleiding, which has always been of a high order, should be up to the standard of former years.
The matches which they have played so far this season have re- vonled nu new outstanding talent, although they have found a bowler, S. Ramchand, who may prove him- self extremely useful if U. M. Omar does not participate. Ramchand is a right-hand medium bowler and comes off the pitch fairly fast, but how he will shape against the tear- ing batanen of the Colóny is a moʊl point.
Whether Omar turns out regularly or not wil reakce a great deal of difference to the team. This veteran bowler is very difficult to play when be strikes form, and on

PROMISINg cricketER
Undoubtedly the best all-round man in the side is young George Souza, who is fuat becoming one of the best cricketers in the Colony. I feel certain that if he develops on the right lines he will get into the Hongkong Interport XI in the not distant future. His improvement has not been as rapid as most people seem to think.

Sir-Will you be so kind as to publish this iti reply to Pyarn Singh's letter of the 23rd. inst.
I read with interest in your Issue of the 23rd. inst. Pyara Singh's re- sentment of "Pilgrim's" comments. I also digested "Pilgrim's" comments with reference to the C.I.T.C.-Radio encounter, and I must admit that "Pilgrim" was correct and to the

|| NEXT CUP FINAL
F. A. Still Planning : A White City Scheme
By Arbitor (Frank M. Carruthors)
The rush for Cup Final tickets for next April is on. It is never off. 'As soon, as one match has been' * played, the public, in ever-increasing numbers, are eager to reserve their seats for the following year.
Expectant-enthusiasts believe that there will be 40,000 more tickets next year. I am afraid they will be disappointed. Time is passing and no decision has been taken to increase the accom. modation at Wembley Stadium.
The Football Association realise their responsibility and are, in fact, anxious to provide the opportunity for 140,000 people, or as many as possible, to see their great show match. The clubs, too, have intimated that they are prepared to make a substantiai financial contribution to the cost of any alterations. Why, then, do they not go quickly ahend with their plans?
It is not easy. There are con- siderable difficulties yet to be over- come.
I have seen an artist's large-size drawing of the Stadium as it would be if the terraces the rear of both goals were carrled back to accom- modato about 40,000 more people, and I am glad to say that the altera- ́tions"would not lange the appear-
ance of the ground.

Romance
The Loyals, reigning Shanghal with regard to the Canton pinyers, Denied
hockey champions, beat the Royal Ulster Rifles 3-nil yesterday in the first Inter-Battalion encounter of the season. The verdict might easily have been doubled in favour of the winners for they held all the trump cards of the gume. Clean hitting, inesse, dash und eleven men working with perfect understanding won the day against a teum forced into guerillä tactics by absentees from the regular alde. Till both leams eased the pressure late in the second half, the match was fast and exciting. Lieut. Cole, key man in the Loyals front line, pinyed brilliantly for bla two goals. The other goal-came from. the clever Willcock-Rhodes-Crunla short corner combination.
The match was played in ideal wenther on the Race Course. The only complaint was thint the ball was inclined to bump, a factor that wor- rled the Rifles considerably The
