THEY STARTED OFF PROMISINGLY ENOUGH, BEING UNFORTUNATE TO LOSE TO THE CLUB AFTER SCORING 167 FOR 8. AND HAVING SLIGHTLY THE BETTER OF A DRAW WITH THE PREVIOUS SEASON'S CHAMPIONS, THE Hong Kong C.C. 110 for 6 KOWLOON C.C. THEREAFTER IT WAS JUST ONE TALE OF DEFEAT AFTER DEFEAT, AND TOWARDS THE CLOSE, THEY WERE EXCEEDINGLY FORTUNATE TO BEAT CRAIGEN- GOWER.

The batting averages make very depressing reading, Lt. C. C. Garthwaite being the only batsman to return anything-like decent figures with 33.40. The next highest is Capt. Michell with 281 in two innings.

The bowling figures are evenly handicapped as a result. In the worse, although Prichard main-course of the season, no fewer than tained fairly consistent form to 25 players turned out for them t capture 17 wickets for an average various occasions.
