TSUN TSIN WIN BUMMER

South Wales Borderers played their first league cricket match on Saturday when they scored a vory convincing pictory over the Univer sity seconds. This is their first year in league oricket and from want I sow of them in a friendly match earlier in the season, I make bold to predict for then a very succes ful senson, Lt. Hamilton, I think, in their best bat though Lt. Younger Fin considered by: many to be a more reliable one. Capt. Wales, their skipper, can also be relied upon to make runn while Lt. da Winton, their opening bat, is a very steady one. As for their bowling, Hamil I can tend down some fairly good fast-medium stuff while Lt. Barlow is also very much the same type. On the whole they have a very oven-Fang. ly balanced side, one which shoul take a lot of beating.

Accused was sentenced by Mr. Justice Lindself to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour.;
