"R. Abbit's" Cricket Comments
Abandonment Of Local League Suggested
Poor Season Almost Concluded:
Matches Outstanding
Difficulties Through Training
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to protend that the pro- sent Cricket Season has been a success and it is rather doubtful if the atrocious weather has been entirely to blame, Military duties are very heavy in many cases and have complicated the fixture lists, and the rain has rather put the hat on things.
But should there be a League next season I venture to suggest to the participants that the principal reason for playing League matches after the new year was that the training period was in October-December. Now, that there are two training periods, one before and one after the New Year, the only good reason for this goes.
Cricket always gets a bit lackadaisical here after Febru- ary, and my advice is to aturt off the League Matches as 9001 as possible after the third week in October..
Of course a much better idea could be to scrap the league unitt happler times.
I don't think this applies so much to the Junior Division. I am not so closely in touch with it but my im- pression is that it runs with more

None of the batsmen who two or three years ago looked so promis- ing have come on-Indeed they
have most of then gone back. I don't know why it is unless it is possibly lack of practice or possibly the fact that they are trying to play too many ganies at once,

However, the two LR.C. veteran

slight teresting and exciting. The only upset of the evening-rain that fell during the afternoon. and it was only a minor one-was the defeat of C. Au, To-day's tehes in the Open Tennis last year's runner-up in the singles, by F. Koh, his team- mate of the Chinese "Y."
