CRAIGENGOWER'S TRIUMPHANT PROGRESS: YOUTH NOT YET SERVED.

REVIEW OF TEAMS AND PLAYERS.

The 'match between the Gunners and I.R. C. had escaped my notics inst weeks, as I have no card from either Club, but, as it happened, it was postponed, I can imagine why, and I fear that the former side will have some difficulty in sompleting their fixtures satisfae torily as I believe that J. K. Mas Forlan and M. Waring are for the time anyway no longer available, and there may be others of whom I

I was keenly disappointed book, I know that both L.R.C. and 0.8CC. have won both Leagues in the same senson. I think K.C.C. and the University have done the same but I am not sure. But theso are exceptions which prove the rule I remember that during the War the H,K,C.C., who were head and shoulders above anyone else, enter- ed two teams, A and B. one year when we had the League. There was, of course, only one division then. By the end of the season they had the greatest difleulty in full ing there fixtures, though at the start everything had worked quite all right.

Other Games.

"As I have pointed out before, great part of the dificulty arises from the question of other games. The H.K.C.C., and C:8.C.C. have suffered, and do suffer, very badly from this, for not only do they have men away on Saturdays, but they have several members of their first teams playing hockey during the week and golf on Sundays, I do not think this applies to the Craigengower and Indian Clubs so much. (16 dors, of course, to the Gunners and the Navy.) It just cannot le halped. I must say I think the K.C.C. would have done better to concentrate on their first where F. S. W. Smith (who is one of the most improved cricketers in the Colony) and F. E. Lawrence are both worth their place in the first eloven over and over again. But after all if Messrs. Smith and Law- rance want to play for the second, why the blankety blank dash should not they!
