BALDWIN TOPS JUNIOR LEAGUE AVERAGES

GRAY LEADS BOWLERS

(By "Li. B. W.”)

TN publishing the League Cricket Averages for the first time)

time

First Division clubs as they have played only two League matches each. In spite of this, however, some good scores have been made and in an attempt to give an indication as to who the run-getters are so far in the First Division, I have compiled a list of those who have aggregated 50 runs or more in the two games and also their averages.

With the Second Division teams, however, the situation is vastly different as each of the clubs concerned have played at least four matches each. R. Baldwin, the Kowloon Cricket Club batsman, tops the averages with 89, whilė E. R. A. Triggs, Royal Navy, is a close second, his figures being exactly 88. In both cases, however, the number of not outs play a large part in making the averages so formidable.

Coronation Week Plans For Negro Sensation

New York, Friday. Joe Louis may box in London during the Coronation celebrations .next May, according to Mike Jaçaba, the match-maker of the Tren tieth Century Club, here.

Such a provisional 'arrange- ment, he says depends upon Louis retaining his present popu larity. Louis has a busy time ahead. The Twentieth Century Club has arranged for him to meet unnamed boxers in two three-round exhibition fights in New Orleans next Friday, and he is expected to meet Johnny Risko over 10 rounds on December " Louis will also box in California about February 22
