FROST HEADS JUNIOR BATSMEN
BAXTER HAS FINE
RECORD
YOUNGER PLAYERS NEAR THE TOP
(By "Adrem")
C. FROST, of the Hong Kong C. C. is at the head of the
PSecond Division League Cricket batting averages, but he
has played only three innings. K. M. Baxter, the K.C.C. opening bat. is in second place with the excellent average of 52.29. In 10 innings he has aggregated no fewer than 366 runs, which is 60 more than Q.M.S. Moreton, who has the next highest aggregate. G. M. Rumjahn, the Ellis Kadoorie schoolboy, has an average of 44.00. while Victor Bond of the Club, aided by four not outs, is standing at 41.50.
The fact that prominent positions in the table are occupied by cricketers at the beginning of their careers, augers very well for the future, and it will be interesting to see how these youngsters fare when they are promoted to the senior division next season, as they most likely will be.
The Second Division bowling figures also provide very interest- ing reading and these will be published in to-morrow's editions.

DAND NOT PLAYING
SATURDAY
FRACTURED BONE IN FOOT
(By “ATHOLE”) Followers of cricket will be sorry to hear that Arthur Dand, the popular Kowloon Cric- ket Club junior League captain, will be unable to lead the potential champions in their "needle" match against the Police next Satur- day at the K.C.C.
Receiving an injury to his- instep when keeping wicket to-- Hung in the game against Craigengower three weeks ago, Dand was forced to stand down for the matches against the Club and Recreio. It was then hoped that he would be able to play on Saturday, but an X-ray on Monday disclosed that he had a fractured bone in his foot and so his last hope of playing has gone.
