“R.. Abbit's" Cricket Comments
Inevitable Club - Kowloon
Superiority Of Batting Over Bowling
Anderson And Owen Hughes Unfortunate To Miss Centuries
IT WAS PERFECT CRICKET weather on Saturday fast, and cricketors 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 got 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 in tempted to say that but for Anderson they would have been out for under 100, but it is Had he no sound argument. falled, some of the other failures might have come off.

KOWLOON TWICE
DEFEAT CLUB
The first match on Saturday being drawn, Kowloon C.C. seniors put it across the Hongkong C.C. in the second match on the Club ground yesterday winning by six wickets.
Kowloon thus scored a double victory, for on their own ground, the K.C.C. juniors, thanks mainly to J. Macauley, D. B. S. schoolboy, trounced the Hongkong C.C. juniors by 102

As a curtala raher to the big match, the Scribes and the Whistica (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 icams 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 140.Indulged in some shooting they might have scored more than one goal. On the other hand, the Whistles have to thank their keeper, Ford, for a ne display between the sticks; it was through his good work that the score was kept down.
