Anderson And Owen Hughes Unfortunate To Miss Centuries
IT WAS PERFECT CRICKET weather on Saturday last, and cricketers took full advantage of it. The scoros ruled generally low, though at the K.C.C. 337 runs were scored for 13 wickets, and of these the last four of the Club wickets were thrown away in a desperate but unavailing attempt to get the runs on time.
The match was one of those which so often occur between these two Clubs, where the batting in each case is.much superior to the bowling. The result is that there are a few big scores by the "cracks" and then, as often as not, the rest have to bustle for the runs, or possibly miss their innings.
On Saturday, Kowloon were at one time in none too good a way. One is tempted to say that but for Anderson they would have been out for under 100, but it is Had he no sound argument. fälled, some of the other failures might have come off.

As a curtain raler to the bir match, the Scribes and the Whistles (referees to you) fought out for their annual match and shared two goals. Although both teams struggled to clinch the issue, the defenders of both teams were at the peak of their form and refused to give anything away.
If anything, the Scribes deserved to have won, for had their forwards Indulged in some shooting they might have scored more than ane goal. On the other hand, the Whistles have to thank their keeper, Ford, for a fine display between the sticks; it was through his good work that the score was kept down.
Wilson, their pivot, was all over the field, lending excellent aid to his forwards. Another defender who played well was King Kar-pui, back; he and Demeo reduced the Scribes' attack.
