POOR RESPONSE FROM CLUB PLAYERS
Sorry Display Against Craigengower: E. Zimmern And Griffiths Bat Well:. University Fail To Turn Out
THERE SEEMS to have been considerable disruption of cricket from Military and other reasons on Saturday last. When I looked into the "mamos" book at the H.K.C.C. there were precisely eleven down; six of them were regular Club players and five the "professors" of the Civil Service side-minus Baker-who had no game for their own Club. It was unfortunate that the opponents wore Craigengower, who are, on prosent showing, the weakest side in the senior division by a long way.
