CRICKET NOTES.

A MORAL CERTAINTY.

H.K.C.C. TENNIS TOURNAMENT:

FINCHERS SHINE,

HONDA PROGRESSES.

There was a good deal of very interesting Cricket laat week end and the weather, at last, was de lightful. The most important match

Yesterday on the principal court from the point of view of the League Table was that. between at the Hong Kong Cricket Club, K.C.C. and the Hong Kong Club, the Fincher brothers gave a spark played on the ground of the former ling exhibition against Cheng Chi team. I must frankly confess that Wing and W. O. Hung, whom they the crushing defeat inflicted on the beat in straight, sets in the second Club took me completely by sur prise.

Peppermint and Picallili were both taken over the mile, but whereas the former was allowed to "slug" the latter went pretty well and will be worth watching in the shorter races. The times taken yesterday were as follows:-

Cricket Club win all their three re-beat W. C. Hung and Cheng Chi maining matches, and E.C.C. only draw their final match, then the Club would be on top. Bus I do not believe that the Club can bring off victories in all three matches while K.C.C., even though playing at Pokfulam to-morrow, have a very good chance of beating the Univer- sity, in which case their position at the head of the table would be un- assailable.

I refuse to consider any other possibility. The University have nothing more than a desperate hope of beating Kowloon, and I am quite sure the Club cannot win their re

neither Major Crake nor A. H. Musson could play. All the same after skittling out the 'Varsity" for 85, they failed to get the runs in an amazing way.

A rather weak combined League team had a really perfect day's cricket at the Kowloon Club ground on Sunday last. They only got 171, which was a poor score, as the 5.0.0, bowling minus Brace and Goodwin was weak.
