Saints Meet CAA In Tomorrow's Best Game

By "SNOOPER"

THE CHINA MAIL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1958.

Jindos Hussain's mighty Saints meet Frank Poon's Chineze Athletic Associa- tion in the best game of the week-end at 2 p.m. tomorrow at King's Park and will have to show that little extra quailty in the stretch to pull through.

Following this important clash between two evenly-matched teams, the much- publicised USS Ören ballplayers, slready dreaming of a win, face Alfredo Oliveira's Öghting Warriors and should win by a close margin.

It will be remembered that a batch of Saints' metar chcly

Cricket averages do not tell the story of the, skilful, handling of his bowlers by a captain, the excellent work behind the stumps by a wicketkeeper, the value of a player in the field. or the usefulness of the small but match-winning innings.

On first glance at the results of the matches played in October, I have no hesitation in naming all-rounder Gerry Gogano as the cricketer of the month, but after carefully studying the records and remembering Stanton's glorious Innings against Kowloon Cricket Club, I feel that I have no alternative but to bracket the two together.
