was most regrettable from all points of view that Tom Hayward was again attacked by sciatica on Saturday and was thus unable to lead, the Club side in their first game of the season. Eric Mitchell, who was originally down to play for the Volun teers, took his place in the Club side. He did not, however, reproduce the form he displayed at the K.C.C. last week when he rattled up 71 in good ume, and hard to be content with scores of 4 and 1.

over the week-end was that by R. H. Griffitha. In scoring 60 for the Volunteers in the fourth innings he found the rails on eight occasions, hit- ting freely all round the wicket. His driving was executed with all confidence and he was hitting the ball in the middle of the bat with refreshing re-

gularity. In partnership with LT. Ride he helped to add 111 runs for the second wicket. Ride, in scoring 47, was fortunate to be dropped twice, but he made several delightful strokes, on the leg side which brought him a six and! five 4's.

PRACTICE GAME TO-DAY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS

DEBUT OF LORRETTO CAPTAIN

(By Scrum Half.)

The Hong Kong Rugby Club are opening their season with a practice game to-day at the Valley. Nearly all the newcomers to the Club will be on view to-day and every one will have a chance of a game, as two new fifteens will be fielded at half time, if necessary,

The latest addition to the Club ranks is J. C. Millar, who cap tained Lorretto, the finest Rugger school in the British Isles, and who later played for three seasons with the London Scottish. He is a wing forward of exceptional qualities,

Roger Grieve is making a welcomej who are entirely unaccustomed to appearance at the Valley this after one another's play.
