CARE-FREE CRICKET PLAYED BY ARMY
AND KOWLOON C. C. ON SUNDAY
Match Drawn After Fine Civilian Effort To Win
(By "R. Abbit")
THERE WAS A MOST PLEASANT GAME on Sunday between the K.C.C. and a vory' useful Army sido. The visitors batted first, opening at 11.20 with Grose and Logan while Zimmern and Anderson (from the Pavilion ond) bowled. The ground appeared in excellent order but both bowlers were getting a good deal of work on the ball, though it came off slowly.
After an early four, Logan settled down to play very correct cricket but seldom got more than a single. Grose, however, commenced to score freely and made some very pretty hooks though he was lifting his drives and on several occasions was lucky to drop the ball just out of long-field's reach.
With 60 on the board, Fenton, sive balls. Then the heat began to and tell and loose balls came more fre- went 031 for Zimmern
quently, and Webb played some nice though he was considerably on foreing cricket. Fenton came on with the short side he kept the runs 200 on the board but it was not until down a bit. In his first over,217 that Webb was bowled by Fenton, Grose was badly dropped at first slip off one he cocked up from the edge of his bat. The ball was admittedly spinning but the catch should have been held. At 72 Baldwin relieved Anderson and seemed to be turning the ball both ways.
