CLUB HARD HIT FOR PLAYERS AGAINST CHAMPIONS TO-DAY

JUNIOR CRICKETỈ

PROGRAMME

NEEDLE MATCH BETWEEN INDIANS AND K.C.C.

TEST FOR POLICE BOWLERS

(By "L.B. W.") THE League cricket programme to-day will be

confined to Second Division teams only, but the game between the Indian Recreation Club and the Kowloon Cricket Club, at Sookunpoo, should produce cricket of a high enough, standard to be regarded as a "Senior" game. Both teams will be at full strength and a very good game should re- sult. The Indians will be strengthened this week! by the inclusion of J. S. Abdul-Curreem and F. M. el Arculli, neither of whom have taken a very ac- tive part in League cricket for the past two sea- sons, but who have confined their activities to I.R.C. Sunday games.

W. E. Peera, left, and M. S. Cawning, right, will be seen in the Club first fifteen against the Amy în to-day's friendly Rugby encounter on the Club greund, commenting at 4.35 pan.

THE Hong Kong Football Club First Division League team seem fated to be doomed to failure practically every season, either by injur- ies, transfers or by sickness, and the selection of to-day's team to meet South China "A", the Lea- gue champions, at Caroline Hill, will prove this to be no exception to the rule.

Of the K.C.C. bowlers, 1 feel that W. L. McKenzie will be the greatest source of trouble to the Indians, who will look to H. T. Barma, J. S. Abdul-Cü-reer, A. R. Sufiad, A. Bakar and possibly A. M. Rumjahn for the runs. The Indians will be very well served in the bowling depart- ment with A. M. Rumjahn, M. R. Abbas, A. Bakar, A. R. Suffiad, J. S. Abdul-Curreen and F.

Some seasons ago, Rumjahn and Arculli made the ideal opening pair for them and it will be interesting to see if the “old firm" will still be able to operate as successfully.
