India Retains Man-Power..
Only Few Europeans Allowed To Leave,
DELIII, Nov. 27 (Iteuler)Since the beginning of the war, European realdents In India between, the ages of 10 and 50, have been prevented from leaving the country save for very inportant reasons.
This is in order to guard against any great loss of mun-power.
The restriction has now been re- Jaxed and special permits will be granted to men over 35 years of age.
Permits will be granted to those for the United Kingdom, the Demin- lon's and the Colonies, but permits Hung mistimed Ozorio, who bowled for other countries, particularly for excellently, and was taken at mid-off. rnen under 33, will continue to be Baxter (lb.w.) and Kapley (howled) granted very sparingly. both fell to balls that kept low, pitch-|

It was not until Lloyd came in that! K.C.C. looked like saving the match. The newcomer's great reach helped: him to deal with balls that would
have been very dangerous to a shorter batsman.. Anderson watch- ed everything and began to score fast.
Rodrigues put on G. N. Gosano for EL, who had bowled steadily on pitch which did not suit him, and then switched Ozorio to the other end, and brought E. L. Gosano buck at the Pavilion end.
Ozorio yorked Lloyd, for a most useful score of twenty-two, and had at that time taken all six wickets. KC.C. had just time and, though Teddy Fincher was run out in bust- Jing, R. E. Lee hit one past cover for two to win the match. It was a rent finish, just about two or three minute before time.
But the game as a whole showed that both Clubs rely too much on two or three individuals. I hear great things of Kowloon's fielding. I have seldom seen a side field better than the Recreio, and their throwing in was extraordinarily accurate.
