CRICKET NOTES

THE LEAGUE MAKES DEFINITE PROGRESS

THE TABLE OF POSITIONS

Three League matches were played on Saturday last and all of them were Important as regards the placing of the stronger toxins. The table is given below. It will be seen that, though the K.C.C. are at the head of the list, they have played one more game than the Indian Recreation Club, and they are two down on their pos- · sible points. The I.R.C. have scored possible points for their three games while the University have done the same for the only two games they have played. The Club are out of it, unless a most surprising serios of results occurs, as they aro minus six possible points on five matches played. Ouriously enough, the Civil Service who are completely bottom of the table have gone uncommonly near to beating the two teams who will in all probability fight out the issue for the Shield. They just failed to got eighty runs to win against the Indians, and just failed to get the K.C.C. team out for a hundred runs last week. Another curious feature is that it is the last eam hut one-the Navy--which cost the K.C.C. their drawn ganie.

Those tennis enthusiasts turned up to the Hong Kong Cricket Club courts yesterday afternoon (and there were quite a number) to see Taui Wai Pui in action to judge for themselves his current form, were delighted to see Capt. Cannon nearly eliminate the young Chinese aspirant. In actual fact from the run of play he very nearly did it. The final score of 6-1, 5-7 and 6-3 in favour of the Chinese is sugges tive of the keen struggle that took place, but when one considers that the military man led at stages of 2-1, 3-2 in the final set, Tsui's posi tion can easily be imagined. Taul now mesta: the winner of the tie between Armstrong and Gamble,

Capt. Cannon cannot by any means be said to have been lucky, or to have caught his opponent on an off day. Taui controlled the game, as expected, at the start änd when he took the first set after conceding only one game, the match did not promise to appeal at all, but the subsequent struggle provid- ed a match of a totally different complexion, and by his splendid per- fomance against a superior and more youthful player, Capt. Cannon has demonstrated that he possesses a wider knowledge of the game than his play indicates.
