ARMY WIN ONE KCC Fail In Attempt To Dodge Out Of The Scorpions' Nest
By "RECORDER"
Army, one of the best bets to win the First Division Cricket League Championship, advanced their cause over the week-end with a victory over Craigengower and a draw with the Indian Recreation Club.
Craigengower, the team-building politics in which club are more complicated than are purely administrative politics in the Central American banana repubiles, presented the Army with four points on a platter.
The Indian Recreation Club, which is full of politics outside of meddling with the club's available crickét talent, did not at any stage over or under-estimate what it was up against. It drew quite comfortably with the Army.
On Saturday, at Chater Road, Kowloon Cricket Club and the HKCC Scorpions battled it out to a decisión in a 41 run match, setting record for the 1 postwar number of runs scored in a

London, Oct. 22.
Britain still debates the question of televising boxing. A new impetus has been given to the topic by the latest and Frank announcement by the British Boxing Board of Control that they are going "to null down no Iron Curtain as far as television is concerned."
The main point ut Issue, of course, Is and must be whether televising boxing events here in Britain is going to affect the receipts.
Britain has followed with interest the stages of development in the boxing-television battle in America, but recognises that everything is coloured by the funds- mental difference of America's television being a com- mercial enterprise while Britain's television activities are the sole project of the British Broadcasting Corporation.
American promoters are in ginning and end of the prob the happy position of waiting fem. on the great advertisers Dghing "We hope," he said, "to be
