LEAGUE.

GOOD PROGRESS MADE.

INTERESTING MATCHES.

No less than seven matches were decided in the Cricket League' on Saturday, four being in the Senior. Division and three in the Second. Kowloon made their initial appear ance and drew with the Indians "A." and many other, interesting matches were played. Batsmen, on the whole, had the better of the day and many high aggregates and in-

dividual scores were registered..

Chief interest centred in the match between the Kowloon Cricket Club and the Indian Recreation Club "A" on the former's ground. Both teams are considered to be in the running tor-League honours and the result was awaited with much keenness Neither side could gain the upper hand and a draw resulted. The players appeared in very fine form and the play reached a very ,,high standard.

The other results also had some important bearing on the League Table. Carigengower, after their fine performance the previous week against Civil Service, were expect ed to account for the Indian "B" comfortably, but the latter showed remarkably good form and held their own for a well-deserved, draw, University had an anxious time against the Royal Artillery and won by a small margin, while Civil Ser- vice and the Chinese played an exciting match at the end of which the former were 18 runs behind with one wicket to fall.

To the Second Division, Univer- sity have set themselves firmly at the top of the table by beating the Civil Service, which is their fourth consecutive victory. The Kowloon

Cricket Club won their first match at the expense of the Hong Kong Electric Co., while the Police suffer- ed their fourth defeat at the band's

of the Royal Navy.

ENJOYABLE AFTERNOON

AT TAIKOO.

"UNDIMINISHING HOSPITALITY."

With ideal weather prevailing, & very enjoyable afternoon was spent by members and visitors at the Tai-

keo Recreation Club on Saturday at the annual "at home" to mark the lawn bowls closing day. Owing to only three greens being available for play the customary invitation to other Clubs to send representa- tives to take part in the sport was not issued, but interest was very keen in the three rink games of 15 heads each between the "President" and Vice-President" teams. At the end the "President" side had a majority of eight points. Teams and scores were:➡
