FIRST DIVISION

At King's Park, Recreio are Following is the down to entertain the Army but, and some of the teams:- judging from the fact that Pearce and Grose are playing for Hong Kong Cricket Club, it is possible that this fixture has been cancell- ed.

I know the Army are kept pretty busy these days with camps and other duties.

Cruigengower are turning out a useful side against Indian Recrea- tion Club, whom they meet at the Valley, and it is possible that they will redeem themselves for some of their numerous past failures. I notice that B. R. Iranez, who nor- mally plays in the junior team, will be turning out for the first eleven, and E. A. Lee is back in harness again. J. L. Youngsaye. who seems to be batting better at the moment than he has done for some years past, is also turning I out.

1.R.C's team will be much the same as usual although there is some doubt as to whether M. el Arcull, who has been on the sick list, will be available.
