For the Navy, Take had the best bowl- ing average, taking 2 wicketa for 4 runs. Under the impression that the Army total had only reached 300, stumps were drawn when the Navy had scored 301 for the loss of six wickets, so that the Navy can claim a “moral ” victory,
The Navy batsmen were in fine form, Lieut. Halsey being top scorer with $8, Pay-Lieut. Hussey scored 79, Lieut- Comdr. Armitage 63, and Lieut. Clifford
35.
Boundary hits were a feature of the game Capt Armstrong, for the Army, brought of two "gallery" catches, and Lieut Smith took 5 wickets for 75 runs.
