THE CHINA MAIL, FEBRUARY 10, 1941.-

Two Outstanding Local Cricket Achievements

Fenton Takes All Ten Engineer Wickets

Anderson Reaches

His 1,000 Runs

By "Adrem"

THE FRIENDLY ALL-DAY CRICKET MATCH AT SOOKUNPOO BETWEEN K.C.C. AND R.E., WHICH THE FORMER WON BY 131 RUNS YES TERDAY WAS NOTABLE FOR TWO FINE FEATS.

D. J. N. Anderson, the K.C.C. opening batsman, completed his 1,000 runs for the season after he had scored 37 he went on to make 82 not out and R. J. Fenton performed the extremely rare feat of taking all 10 Engineer wickets.

a per

Kowloon batted first on feet matting wicket. The outfield ! was slow and the ball had to be but hard before it would reach th boundary.

Tropp and Denyer brawled stead- ly and three wirkels fell in 30 namutes for only 20 runs.

Anderson was then joined by Mackay and this partnership added 133 runs. Mackay then being caught and bowled by Denyer for 67 soon after lunch. Denyer struck an inspired patch after lunch and the balls with which he bowled Gray and Perry were very good ones. Anderson. however, was in no trouble and when the innings closed K.CC were two short he was stil} un- defeated,

The earlier R.E batsmen shaped well, Ratcliffe and Shaw looking particularly confident and Tropp defending stoutly thoughout, but Fenton, turning the ball both ways and keeping it fairly accurate length, took wickets regularly.

On three occasionа In the course of this innings he took two wickets with successive balls but he was unable to com plete the "hattrick."

It is understood that Fenton will be presented with the ball, suit- ably mounted and inscribed, with which he accomplished his feat yesterday.
