ENJOYABLE GAME!
AT K.C.C.
(By "Veritas")
I will be very surprising if the Hongkong Cricket Club do not have a lot to say about the second division erteket. championship this senson. Barring lows of players through neel denta or other circumstances, the Club promise to turn out one of the best balanced sides in the division, Judging by their display ngainst the KCC, at Cox's Road on Saturday, when a high-scoring game was left drawn with honours, very evenly divided.
Century For K. C.C. Against Volunteers
(ly "Veritas")
Cricket at its best was enjoyed at the Kowloon Cricket Club yesterday, when, under ideal conditions, and on a perfect wicket, with an outfield as fast as an ice-skating rink, a K.C.C. eleven beat the Volunteers by two wickets.
Five and a half hours of play produced 432 runs for the total loss of 18 wickets, and of these, Norman Mackay had the distinction of scoring 119.
It was an innings punctuated by acme dazzling off-drives, powerful hooks and pulls, and one or two re- murkably "It-y" shots, one of which should have lost him his wicket when Never he had scored 30, and another when he had passed the 60 mark. con
view of the array of bowlers he faced, and the fact that were essential if the qulek runs K.C.C. were to win, his knock stands as an outstanding achievement.

Teams:
Set to score 180 to win In 105 minutes, Kenneth Baxter und left handed Mulcahy set about the task with evident relish. Mitchell did not use Beck at the start and in half an hour Baxter and his captain had put 50 on the board. Beck came on to slow down the rate of scoring after the BO had been holsted, and he quickly got Mulenhy's wicket with a lovely ball. Baxter had lost his wicket just before by hitting ordinary ball from Bishop into Bond's hunds at forward mid-on. His 54 was made in very quick time und was featured by some grand stroking on the offside of the wicket. He claimed nine boundaries.
