* FOR PRATA

(By "ATHOLE”)

Baxter took advantage of his let-off by carrying his bat for 751.These were not the only chances that went unaccepted. I counted eight that should have been held, while at least nine runs were given away on over-throws!

A. R. Abbas, above, played a big part in the mexpected victory of the Indian R.C. over, the Hong Kong C.C. at Sookunpoo on Satur- day. He took 6 wickets for 12

runs!
