Anyway, he has had the satisfaction of taking a comparatively weak side to Shang- thal and coming away with the flag. He should make an ideal opening batsman, and if he would only get zid of the habit to try and hit out too early in the innings, he should make a lot of runs.

Y.M.CA. Win Over

St. Andrew's

A very good game of hockey was witnessed at King's Park yesterday when the YM.C.A. defeated the St. Andrew's Hockey Club by 31 goals to 1 in a fast moving en- counter.

The feature of the gaine was the brilliant display by the respective termediate lines of defence and particularly that of D. McLellan, the "7" pivot and A.E.P. Guest of the opposition.

H

D. McLellan played a wonderful

centre forward game and had College, the Saints' covered nicely throughout. Guest was also to the fore with some brilliant spolling."

Another two players, who stood out above others were G. H. Fowler, the "Y" inside left whose work in the second half resulted in many anxious moments for the opposing defence and whose re- verse side centres in the first half resulted in the "Y's" first goal. The other player was E, H. P. White, the Saints' left back, whose clearances and spolling was magni- ficent throughout.

No one, I am sure, can say with any degree of certainty who will. win the subs' St. Leger. Tiny Star, Surprise, Cavalcade, Copper Idol, Classic Hall and now St. Ives will have to be considered. Much will depend on how the ponies shape during the next few weeks. No

doubt MRTY believe that Tiny Star will be the ultimate win. ner, but personally, I should like to see the pony in a race prior to the Leger before coming to any decision.
