They have how completed their League season and have 31 points to their credit, whereas their rivals, the R.G.A., have 33 points and another match to play. The Civil Service were very unfortunate, for they put together 190 runs, and three- quarters of an hour before play ceased had 8 of their opponents' wickets down for-56-runs- The University cffccted a draw because of the stubborn batting of Ponsonby Fane, who took the sting out

R.G.4. DEFEAT KOWLOON.
0
It is difficult to account for the time manner in which Kowloon went down before the BG.A. at King's Park on Saturday. Even without 8. A. Claxton, who made such an fine score against the University on the previous Saturday and has again left the Colony, Kowloon was generally expected to defeat the gunners. The wicket was as favourable to the batsmen as to the bowlers, and it has been suggested that Kowloon fared so miserably because they were not ng gressive enough. Baines found his spot, kept beautiful length, and practically unplayable. At one time he had taken wickets for 18 runs.

Wha
By winning Saturday's match, the B.G.A. are quita certain of this year's League bonours, for even if they should lose their only remaining engagement (against the Royal Engineer) thay should be two points ahead of the Civil Service. They are to be heartily con gratulated. Like the other Service tearns, they expect to be even stronger next year when the new drakta 'come
