BUSIER DAY AHEAD.

R. ABBIT'S WEEKLY REVIEW.

The only League match Inst Satur day 'was a very sad affair and the lesa maid about it, the better. Apart from four absentees being present, if I may put it that way, the team was filled up with due regard to the needs of the second eleven. Any hope that the Civil Service hod of drawing went when 'A. II. Minu got rid of de Rome and Richardson for two anus apiece. But it is by no means certain that the I.R.C. would not have won against the full Civil Service side. They are a very useful team, and having played five out of seven of their matches and scored thirteen out of a possible fifteen points they are in a very strong position. They Have only K.C.C. and Craigengower left to play and should, I think, beat

the latter.

To-morrow's Game. The most important game for the Indians is their match at K.C.C. versus the Kowloon Club. If they ean win they will have at least one. hand on the Shield.

Olvil Service v. Navy. There is also a League match, 1830. Navy . the Civil Service on the King's Park ground. I have à sort of idea that the last time the teams It is met there, the Navy won. rather a queer light at times and The the wicket is definitely bad. C.S. have their full side, I believe, with the exception of de Rome who is playing golf in the Governor's Shield:

They are also without Barrow who has gone on long leave I am very glad to see that Reid is able to play again. I am un- aware of the Naval side and with all those cruisers evoluting round the place it is very hard to guess. Bounphrey will be a tremendous help to them if he can play. It should be, a very close match if the Navy can get hold of Baker,

Jefferies Jowitt, Barrett,

and Squance. I rather fancy Sim will be playing. He does not often turn out but I remember seeing him save a League match against Kowloon, I think, last season.

2:-The January Hurdle Race: 1 Miles.

The principals are General Rinks Trust, Ltd., but working in con junction with them is the National Sporting Club,

The plan is to construct im- mediately large covered stadiums in London, Nottingham, and Southampton, and to proceed at a little later date with the build ing of similar bowls in Paris, Dublin, Liverpool, Mandiester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Cardiff, and other centres.

The general manager appointed is Mr. Walter Keigwin, who is well known in the skating and ice hockey world.

In twelve months from now it is hoped that at least twelve of these bowls will be in operation. In cach fifteen weeks of the year will be devoted to ice-hockey, and from twenty to twenty-four weeks to skating.

1.

The National Sporting Club, which is now.temporarily quartered in Suha, London, has been given the sole franchise for boxing in all the stadiums, here and abroad.

It needs to be stated that a some- what similar schéme was proposed about a year ago, with which the National Sporting Club was also connected, but this, for a variety of rensons, fell through.

It is not the present intention of the club to instal itself nt Earl's Court, although that may be a development of the future. Recently a letter was issued, sign. ed by Lord Tweedmouth, which in its own way is quite remarkable. *This race is open to all ment states that the ordinary share The cricket in South Africa shows jbers and lady racing members of capital of General Ninks Trust is
