SATURDAY'S CRICKET MATCHES.

SEVEN MATCHES IN A

DRIZZLE.

KOWLOON DEFEAT THE RÀ..

Although rain fell during the greater part of last Saturday morn ing, the weather cleared a little towards noon and in spite of the drizzle, seven matches were played, including one first and two second division league games,

By defeating the Royal Artillery, the Kowloon C.C. 1st XI. are now second in the First Division Leagus Table with two matches in band,

and there is every chance of retain ing their positions as runners-up of the League.

In the Second 'Division the Kow loon C.C. 2nd XI. followed the example of their first team, and won their game against the Civil Service CC... thus placing them- selves third on the Second Division League Tables.

There were four friendly matches played, and both teams of the Hong Kung C.C. succeeded in defeating their opponenta.

K.C.C.. R.A.

This Senior League match was played on Saturday in a most de pressing drizzle. Curiously enough it did not seem to slow up the pace at which the ball appeared to come off the pitch but it made the ball greasy and it must have been very difficult to spin the ball.

The Gunners went in first, but, apart from a chaacteristic 46 by Sergt. Leach, they did little. He had two amazing sixes in it, one of which, off Goodwin, not only car- ried the netting at the Jordan Road end but pitched right up on the The high ground well behind. other, off Ross, I did not ser but it was described to me as half way up Gun Club Hill." Goodwin bowled uncommonly well and, but for dropped catches, would have had a very much better analysis.

The Kowloon ground fielding was all right, but their catching left a good deal to be desired, though Lawrence's catch was a brilliant One. They can't afford to drop catches if they are going to win the League and I recommend one or two felding practices!

The catching or rather missing question was well illustrated in the first ever when off Leach's fourth bail Brace was put down off a sharp but quite possible chance, in the slips. He played some very nice shots but he was feeling after the off ball rather weakly and it was not one of his best innings. Apparently he found the dull light very difficult. His partner, Bamsey, was shaping very nicely when he had the misfortune to be given caught at the wicket off bis hip. I have no doubt the light made umpiring difficult as later on Teddy Fincher was given not out when he hit the ball hard. He and Brace had got close to their opponent's score when Brace was brilliantly taken at mid-off by Howard off a red hot drive. E. C. surprised the spectators by unusually free driving be is becoming a much more sad batsman now Aggressive steadily improving while his bro ther E.
