CRICKET NOTES,
of
of
THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, MARCH 25th, 1927.
The Civil Service secand string won a low scoring game against the Recreio and I hear Robertson bowl. ed very well. He, has a nice easy action but has beja disappointing great fault is a tendency to bowl on the whole this season His
abort and a bit to leg. This a bad enough in a right-bander, but for a left hand bowler it is suicide.
Sunday Cricket,
I believe the correct method coinmencing this week's sot Notes is to remark; "As I predict ed from the drst, Kowloon have won the League," However, as I am not a journalist but merely a poor scribe" who knows something about the game, I must confess IR.C. played off their frst League The Borderers and the Indian had some ideas about the Navy a match on Sunday at Soskunpo. The well. I am very glad that Kowloon home side were evidently not a have won as they are awfully keen if not four of their second eleven their strongest, as they had three and deserve their success.

Next Saturday's Match. The venue of the Winning Team Rest of the League has been changed to Kowloon, and I am very have shown a marked preference glad of it. The Kowloon first eleven for their own ground naturally enough, but they have also shown that the Club ground is their hoodgo! Lyal in particular never seems to bowl anything like length there. On their own ground- they should put up a good fight against anything that comes along,
I think. rather detracts from the pleasure of the game. (In fact I am one of the minority who hater. League cricket, while admitting that it keeps intérest in the game alive. But the fact is that to win the Shield one has to be serious sli the time. I once captained a side which won it, and that season does not rank high among my pleasant memories of the game. I will deal further with the winning team when I consider the Kowloon #. Best match later in these Notes,

The team that was selected to represent the Rest was in the main Kowloon had no difficulty in beat-representative though one or two In the Gunners, though I heur of the selections were of the type their batting was a bit sticky.

Club and Civil Service.
I am surprised
that Wright was selected in place of Smith who has done consistently well for the Gunners. Of course, the former made a century but con- sistency is preferable. I should have thought that the TR.C. might have. had another representative: By the way the University aports are on and it is for this reason that no University men are in the side. If not, I think that besides A. A. Humjahn, at least one other place might have been found for them.
Local School Opicket.
An unsatisfactory match. The Civil Service batting was never really comfortable on a wicket that gavo the bowlers quite a lot of hulp. Sayer mistimed a short one from Wales badly and was well taken at mid-off.. De Rome was rather stiff over his 28, but Fincher was safe for 43. I was glad to see Lawrence get some runs. He has had a long patch, bat on Saturday he played some uncommonly" nice shota. He is, I think, at his best As an aggressive batamen.

He pointed out of course, he'll call me a liar: but that the supply of new blood locally is it true, and better judges than rust come from schools here, and I have noticed it.) For a few that pains should be taken to im- minutes it looked as if the Club

BATTING AND BOWLING AVERAGES.
Many changes are noticeable in the batting list in the First Division. Capt. Doboie, who last week led with an average of 100.00 has dropped to second position with 74.00. 4. A. Hunijahn now leads and unless other leading batamen imprave their aver ages, he will stay there as his ures of 76.95 are Anal. Capt. Dobbie is clos on his heels but the others are some way behind. The figures for the University, Royal Navy, Kowlood. Cricket Club, Chinese Recreation Club and the Civil Service Cricket Club players are "also Saal as these Clubs have completed their League programme.
The bowling figures in the First Division and both lists for the Second Division show very little change.
