Fenton's Splendid Feat. Against R. Engineers
The rain on Saturday last washed out all the cricket and most of my nofos. I was not aware of it, but apparently a scratch team of K.C.C, which managed to total nine mombers in all, took on the Sappers on Sunday. The only two people who did anything for K.C.C, were Andarson (82 not out) and Mackay (67).
Their 8 wickets produced 193 runs. The best bowl ing figures returned for the Sappers were those of Denyer which read 9.7-1-45-5. The Sappers' batting however went to bits. Tropp got 22 not out. Ratcliffe 12, and the whole side were out for 62.

Etiquette
I am rather defeated by being asked to dieruss, cricket etiquette such as "attire, manners during a maicht." As regards the last point, cricket manners do not differ from stol manners anywhere else. As for attire, the usually accepted costume pair of white trousers and while tennis shirt. In W. G. Grace's, book of cricket he made the point that a scarf should always be worn as belts were apt to cilek occasionally as the

Nicki Wan Wins Oriental Heavyweight Boxing Title
MANILA, Feb. 3.-Nicki Wan, light heavyweight cham- pion of China, last Saturday evening literally slugged Young Schmeling, local heavyweight champion, into submission to
annex the heavyweight championship of the Orient. The bout
ended suddenly in the middle of the 8th round when Schme-' ling, after taking a terrific pummeling, quit cold and told Referee Manuel Eloriaga he had had enough, thereby giving the bout to the Chinese by a technical knockout.
