CRICKET ENCOUNTER

CHINA MAIL, MARCH 2

DR SMALLEY'S XI SUCCEEDS

A very enjoyable whole day cric- ket match was played at the Kow- Toon C. C. yesterday when a K.CC. team captained by Mr. Ezra Abra- ham lost to a U.S.R.C. eleven by 4 wickets. The latter team was to have been led by Dr. J. T. Smalley, but owing to unavoidable circum- stances, he was unable to attend.

This game was in the nature of a farewell to Lt. C. C. Garthwaite and Capt. Walch, both of whom are leaving the Colony, on April 16. Both Garthwaite and Walch are members of the K.C.G. and have been closely associated with the Club.
