Playing on the H.K.C.C. ground the home side easily beat the visitors from Kowloon by an innings ind 132 runs in the match began on Saturday and concluded yesterday: The wicket yesterday was none too aay and K.CC, were up against the huge score made on Saturday by "their opponents. Apart from Braco and F. Goodwin they fared very badly against Wales in the 1st innings The follow on was not averted and once more Wales came out with a very fine analysis. E. F. Fincher batted well but no one else could do much. In a final knock, to play out "time, H.E.C.C. were very far from repeating their great Achievements of the first innings..
