CRICKET.

H.K.C.C. ROYAL AIR FORCE.

The sun shone brightly on Satur day last when the B.A.F. turned out against the H.K.C.C. In fact the day was almost too warm for entire comfort. The wicket looked excellent but it kicked a bit at the Law Courts end, and later on there developed rather a nasty spot at the other end, as Hunt found to his cost. Pearce won the toss and "naturally went in. Hayward and G. P. Lammert opened the innings and I believe for the first time this year in the Colony a first wicket

Pretty Cricket,"

At the start Dale from the Naval Yard end was bowling very fast but n trifle short and the ball was get- ting up a good deal.

He was a trife too much outside the oft- stump, and the batsinen could leave him alone safely.. As a matter of fact Hayward early in his innings had a dab at one or two which he was rather lucky to miss; but this was the only fault in a very finc innings.

With the score at 101 Lammert gos his leg in front of a straight one from Dale who had gone on again. Bridgeland did not survive long. He tried to hit an atrocious long hop too hard, snicked it, and was bowled, Shortly afterwards i Hayward was besten by a good ball From Reeks. Perreo nione of the other batsmen showed form and be made some very pretty shots before being smartly taken at the wicket off French. The only blemish was a smart chance in the slips just be .fore this.

Air Force Start Well. Hunt and Gairdner looked for a time as if they were going to do very well. Barring a couple of uppish shota through the galley the latter shaped well though he is short of practice, I believe. How- ever, Pearce changed his bowling
