SAYER SCORES CENTURY.

SATURDAY'S MATCHES.

In the only "League match in the first division, G. E. Sayor, Civil Service, one of the best and most experienced players in the Colony, distinguished himself by scoring 115 runs against the Royal Navy, This

the third century of the season, the others being by Baikat- chet (University), 129, not out, and Liout Hankey (2.0.8.B.) 104, not

'out.

The watch ended in a draw, which is the third for the Civil Service. Kowloon, who are second to the former Club in the League Table, have had only ons drawn game and unless, therefore, the Civil Service gain the decision when the two teanis meet they will be out of the run- ning for the Shield,

The Indian Recreation Club has a chance yet, They have lost and drawn once and their hope now is to beat Kowloon,

There were also two League matches in the second division, but The results do not affect the leading position in the Table.

"BRITISH FAIRNESS."

GERMANS ACQUITTED BY RHINE COURT-MARTIAL.

Four young Germans who were Bccused of having been concerned in an assault on two British soldiers ab Warsdorf, in the Taunus Moun- tains, "were recently acquitted by the British Police Court at Wies ades, after a trial lasting two days.

The evidence showed that on Christmas Eve two English privates, after a rough-and-tumble Aght, were pitched out of a tavern by German civilians, one of the soldiers being rather severely knocked about in the course of the fray. ...

The court held that the two British soldiers, being at the time the worse for drink, had undoubted- ly given provocation, and were, therefore, chiefly to blame for what had happened.

The Germans are favourably im- pressed by the fairness shown the British in this verdict.
