so and everything points to another very successful season.

The all-day match between Kow. Joon Cricket Club and the Yolun teors, which was to have taken place on the Navy ground fast Sunday, was put off because of the rain, while the same happened to the game at Pokfulam arranged in honour of Dr. M. B. Osman by the University Union Cricket Club. On Saturday, however, the Univer sity and Indian Recreation Club seconds played off their friendly fixture (on a matting wicket) de spite the fact that rain was coming down continuously. I was told by ons of the players that it was ex- tremely difficult to get a proper grip on the ball with the result that there were more wides than usual.

*

The Varsity seconds are unusual- ly weak this seison. They sorely need a couple of good, reliable, bowlers and a few more men who can be relied upon to make runs, Their fielding, however, is just as good as ever, and in this depart ment of the game, I doubt whether any other team in the league with the possible exception of Club de Recreio, can be compared with them: Hiptool has gone up to the fast eleven this year as a result of which K. T. Loko is leading the side. Loke has been playing re- 'gularly for the past few seasons, and at he has a crowd of thoroughly good sports backing him up, they should have quite a successful time.

H. Normanbhoy is considered to be: their "best all-rounder, and though he did not do particularly well on Saturday, I expect he will como off Inter in the season. „An- other goon man they have is A. T. Normanbhoy, who, I believe, is a cousin. As for as I remember, A.T." was not much of a bowler last dasan, bait from what I have seen of him so far, he seems to have como an tremendously.
