CRICKET TAKES ITS PLACE IN THE SUN Encouraging Enthusiasm Shown By Clubs:
Pleasant Week-end
Week-end Games
BY NOW the cricket season has been going on for a month and it is pleasant to find that there is so much of it. Teams of course are bound to vary as various members are away training or in Camp. But as long as one rêmembers that it does not matter who wins, all is and will be well.

But somehow there is just come- thing fucking a final bit of devil perhaps which makes them far less successful than you would expect them them to be if you watched them bowling for a bit. They do most things but get wickets,
On Saturday, after Parsons went curly, Knight (51) and Owen Hughes (71 not out) took ten with the bowl- Ing. Alee Pearce only got 21 before being 1.b.w. while his brother was undefeated with a similar number.
