OWLOON Cricket Club have won the Junior League. This afternoon at the Hong Kong C. C., the Senior League, will probably be decided, when the home team meets the Indian R. C.

AT THE MOMENT, THE INDIANS HAVE A SLIGHTLY BETTER RECORD, HAVING PLAYED FIVE GAMES WITHOUT THE LOSS OF A POINT. THE H. K. CRICKET CLUB HAVE. PLAYED THE SAME NUMBER OF GAMES, BUT HAVE BEEN CHECKED ONCE, BY THE CIVIL SERVICE, WHO HELD THEM· TO A DRAW. THEIR REMAINING FIXTURE IS AGAINST THE | CRAIGENGOWER, WHILE THE INDIANS HAVE TO PLAY

K.C.C.

On the face of it, if LR.C. win this afternoon, they are assured of the title, if they draw they are still in a fairly sound position, for even if they draw with K.C.C., they are still on level terms with the HK.C.C., provided the latter take full points from (BK.SRA Craigengower, and that is by no means certain as the Valley team ground, to be played on Tuesday, are extraordinarily difficult to beat.
