The Indians put up a splendid rear guard action, and I gather that the fortune which so often favours the gallan stood by them to a cer- tain extent, though apparently no actual chances went to hand. Bock was at the very top of his form and A. A. Rumjahn was the only bats man ta do anything until A. K. Minu and O. Ismail came together, and between them scored ninety- Dice runs from the bat.

He has one great advantage in that his action is naturally fairly low and he does not get up con- tinually over stump high. That is the trouble of Beck and Bowker, as when they are bowling at top pnce anything much short of a half volley in bound to go over the top of the sticks nine times out of ten. Possibly the fact that Pereira geta his pace from a very enny body swing has something to do with the way the ball keeps down. He was turning the ball considerably from the off, I learn,

Anderson got three for forty-one and Chan Fook three for nineteen. Taylor was the star turn for the Soldiers with fifty-six. Capt. Moir and Corpl. McTavish did well. The University failed at first as Anderson did not come off, but Ride (who must have been reading these notes) came to the rescue with what I hear was an excellent seventy.

There is, I regret to say; a rumour going about that the regimental team may had it necessary to with draw from the League, owing, I gather, to the lack of a ground.

3-I submit:-

(a) That if Rule 29 of the Eng; liah Association applies to the local Assocoation, then the other rules of the English Association must also apply, including Rule 43, which was never complied with by the Emergency Committes in its enquiry into this matter; and,

(b) that in any case Rulo 29 does not apply to, and does not there fore bind the local Association, and that therefore the members of the local Association, are not bound by Rulo 29.

4.-Dealing with 3 (a) above:- The concluding sentences in italica of Rule 45 provide that any player "charged should be fur- nished with a copy of such charge or allegation in writing, for the right of such perzon to attend, to hear all the evidence given in sup- port of sunsh charge and to cross- examine all witnesses by deputy or
