Tho Taikoo Badminton Club, under the loader- ship of Mr. Charlie Summers, has decided to enter a team in the ladies' doublos league, bringing this soason's number of contestants to five.

As this is only the second season in which softball has been played
in the Colony, the local standard is not really high, but the two teams picked by local softball authorities are good enough to ensure that the matches will be interesting,
It is a fallacy to believe, es most people do, that this is a "clasy' game. Those who have not yet been convinced that it is not should go down to Caroline Hill this afternoon to see for themselves.

No man is better qualified than Geary to instruct the rising genera- tion of cricketers. For a good many years he was one of our best medium-pace bowlers, and as long ago as 1920 I saw him save the gamo for England of Leeds, where he and George Mecnulpy added 108 for the ninth wicket.
George has played in nine Tests against Australiu and five against South Afrien. His globe-trotting has taken him to Australia, South Africa, India and the West Indies and his greatest bowling perform- once was achieved against Glamor- an in 1920 at Pontypridd: 10 wickets for 1 runs. Alluding to the Aus tralian captain in an interview with 13. J. Evans in the Star, he once suld:
"I will give Don Bradman his duc as a great balsman, but the rounds- men of England have undoubtedly enhanced his reputation.
"I never bowled better against him than in the Test at Leeds in 1930, but the wicket, like all the nothing more than a chemist's shop, others on our first-class 'grounds, was with cow and bone manure and other dopes"
