Club Bachelors Quell Married: Recreio Show Batting Weakness
(By "R. Abbit")
FROM the list of Volunteer training weeks
which I saw the other day it is quite clear that there will be no regular sides turning out before Christmas, but this is inovitable and the whole arrangement seems to be an excellent one as the training will got done adequately and thereafter presumably the drills and any evolutions will omit 'Saturdays! The decision not to play League Matches until the Now Year was a very fortunate
ono.
CANNOT say the batting of I the Married was anything but thoroughly bad. It is true that Fay bowled very well and that John Pearce sont down several good ones, but two of the latter's wickets were obtained with full tosses, and I am not sure that' Lowe did not fall to a similar ball. He was out just before I arrived. Armstrong alone did anything and he was unlucky to be bowled off his tor. Of the alliers Itishop only shaped well. Polter, far the single men, kept wicket excellent- ly, his stumping of Eric Mebell being a beautiful piece of work-I was watching through feld glasses, and doubted it Mitchell was out, but when he came in he told me he lifted. his foot and it was of this particular moment that Potter took the bails off:.
PLENTY OF RUNS WHEN the Bachelors went in, all of them got runs more or less. but the bowling of the Married side was very weak indeed, and it was knocked about all over the place. After they had won by nine wickets they went on to compite 287, a con- alderable scare in a half-day match. I understand, however, that in the corresponding match next year both Potter and Kilkee will turn over to the other aldèl,'

The best innings, I am informed, was that of Rapler who came in after three quick wickets had fallen and completely knocked off the slow
bowler, Peul, who had taken them. Kutfeld, I see, is still in the Colony, THE win of the Recrelo over the but he did not enjoy his usual suo Civil Service was not quite socess.

The Civil Service got their usual bad start as Colledge played his first ball to square leg and started down the pitch and was easily out. Next over Richardson was plumb 1.b.w. to Ozorio off a ball which he made no attempt to play! Perry was lucky to be dropped, but, later on, unlucity to be bowled off his pada.
