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 very useful Army side. 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.
