THE WEATHER ON SATURDAY WAS IDEAL FOR CRICKET AND WICKETS GENERALLY FAV- OURED BATSMEN. NEVERTHELESS SCORES WERE NOT UNDULY HIGH EXCEPT IN THE MATCH AT SOOKUNPOO BETWEEN ARMY AND HONG KONG CRICKET CLUB, WHERE BATSMEN ON BOTH SIDES LED THE BOWLERS A MERRY DANCE.

Baxter's all-round form at Pokfulum and a fine comeback by veteran J. L. Youngsaye were the chief features of Junior matches. Baxter made 78 runs and then polished off the University innings when things were looking pretty grim for K.C.C., while Youngsaye made his first half-century for more years than I can trace in the records! .

In a low-scoring match at much alteration" to King's Park, Recreio had much sheet.

the score the better of their meeting with The Indians were one short. the Indians who were, however, not at full strength. A. R. Minu, their opening bowler, preferred an afternoon at the Races, while M. el Arculli, their vice-captain, was otherwise engaged.

H. L. Ozorio, who struck a good length and took 7. for 32, together, with A. V. Gosano (30) and Willie Reed (27), were mainly respon sible for the home team's win, but of that more anon.

The Gosano brothers, and Zinho, started the innings for Recreio and looked like settling down to a big partnership when the former was bowled by Khasa Nazarin. It was a good bull which came back a little..
