CHINESE.
After a most exciting finish-almost similar to that which occurred a week previously, when Craigengowar 'W&S opposed to Kowloon-the Craigengower Club scored a very creditable win against the Chinese, thus bringing themselves temporarily to the top of the League table. Both teams were practically full strength and the cricket was well worth watching....

NAVY DRAW WITH THE CIVIL “SERVICE."
The Navy were not at full strength when they met the Civil Service on Saturday. Four notable absentees were Hack, who is still indisposed. Davies, Carey and Godfrey. The Civil Service wore without the services of Goodall and Claud Sovera; but were fortunate in ob itsining a valuable acquisition in F. for the Club by a very useful display of Syme Thomson, who signalised his debut batting

The Chinese bowling, when he went in, required watch ing, and it was not until after Grimmett had knocked some of the devil? saf of it that the batsmen could afford to taka liberties. Grimmett scored 38 runn in quick time, included in his score being six befty boundary shots. The freedom he displayed at the wicket encouraged Noria, Omar and Goldenberg to follow auft Noria contributed 16 runs and looked likely to make a big score when he was caught by Ng Sza Kwong, Omar did even better, and, throwing discretion, to the winds, hit out in an attempt to win the match. When Goldenberg joined Bush, who had been content to play barn- door cricket, just keeping his wicket intact, only four rang were required for victory. Goldenberg has a style all his own. He not only won the match but also hit three boundary shots in "succes sion during an over from Yew Man Tлun.

tribution of 38 were maritorious, but ther were both eclipsed by a particularly good display of batting by U. J. Stapleton whose 13 runs were scored in most. vigorous style. Equally strong on the leg "and the off and with a very strong overhead shot, Stapleton gave tag fielders a very strenuous time during the hour he was at the wickets. A feature of his Innings was his strong off drives. D. Pta Tayler was not out with 16 to his credit hen, on the dismissal of Stapleton, the Innings was declared closed, the scoru atanding at 208 for the loss of 6 wickets. The weakness of the Hongkong bowling was very evident. Pearce, who usually inishes well, was badly punished.

He found no difficulty in scoring 60 runs and was undefeated at the end of the inninga He brought off some fine shots on the of Matthews, Darling, Hollands and Field each helped to raise the total by getting into double figures Roylanes did the hat trick," dismissing Hollands, Taylor and.
