CRICKET NOTES.
A DULL WEEK-END.
[BY L.B.W."]
There was only one game in the League over the week-end, and, it was perhaps just as well. too, for the sudden drop in the thermo- meter, coupled with the drizzle wa had, was certainly not conducive
to good cricket, The light was so bad that it was vary hard to see the ball after five o'clock. The official time for "drawing stumps in December is 3.15 p.m., but I am sure cricketers in general will agree with no that it is impossible to play up till then. Although it
will mean a bit of a rush, I think it would be a very sound idea if the captains of the different teams could arrange to start at 1.30 p.m. shurp

While there is so much talk going on in various places about increasing the size of the wickets, it appears that the case is just the in Hong Kong, for the bowlers are nearly always getting the upper hand. At King's Park the Recreio bowlers played havoc with the Civil Service Cricket Club juniors, and got them all on for only 10 runs de Sousa had wirkets for 8 runs, while Aives took 4 for 10.

The league tables to date are given below. It will be seen that the Police Recreation Club afe ahead with 13 points for five matches played.

The Indians, who were at One time expected to make a bold bid for championship honours, are very near the bottom, having only secured one win out of the five matches played. From all appear- ances it would appear that the re- sult now rests between the Police and the Cricket Club, and it will be interesting to watch how they fare in their later games.
