PADRES BEAT MEDICOS..

The twelve a-alde match between tears composed of clergymen and doctors which was played on the B.K C.C.. ground yesterday produced some fine batting by the Padres who won easily in the first innings by wickets and 85 runs. The doctors who had scored 100 runs, batting first, went in for a second inninga after the Padres bad declared with the fine score of 190 runs for six wickets. The Padres bowling gave the Medicos no charce to get set, and when eventually etumps had to be drawn owing to the failing light, they had scored only 33 runs for the fall of eight wickets.
