JIM LAKER TAKES ALL 10 AUSTRALIAN WICKETS AT THE OVAL
London, May 16.
Jim Laker, the Surrey and England off- spinner, took all 10 Australian wickets in the match at the Oval today. He bowled three bats- men, six were caught, and one was leg-before- wicket. Only once before have all ten Australian wickets been taken by an English bowler.
Edward Barratt did so when the first Australian team met the Curiously, 1878. Player in Barratt was also a Surrey bowler and he too achieved this feat at the Oval.

Victory Shield Match-A Second Rate Affair
Says I. M.
MacTAVISH
What a second rate affair this turned out to be. A young patchwork_Com- bined Chinese side triumphed over a lackadaisical Services team without ever having to reach very great heights to do so.
Maybe the state of the ground had something to do with it or maybe it was the depressing downpour which continued without a break throughout the duration of play
whatever it was, it made this game one of those that we shall not struggle to remember.

RECREIO BEATEN 5,0
CRAIGENGOWER HAND THE LEAGUE CHAMPIONS A CRUSHING DEFEAT
By “TOUCHER”
Craigengower Cricket Club brought off a grand win yesterday when they handed Club de Recreio, the current Champions, a crushing 5-0 defeat in their opening First Division Lawn Bowls League match at the Valley.
The Recreio twelve started off promisingly by taking the lead on all three rinks at the end of the first three heads. At the end of ten heads they still enjoyed a 27-26 lend on the aggregate, despite being down on one rink, and seemed well net for a 4-1 victory.
