SPORT FIXTURES FOR

WEEK-END

Cricket

(Continued from Page 1.)

(BYL B. W.)

The best cricket match of the afternoon will probably be that between the holders of the Senior Division Shield, Kowloon Cricket Club, and the Hong Kong Cricket Club who will have the advantage of playing on their own ground.

It is almost impossible for two strong teams like these to play to a Amish in an afternoon and for

that reason I forecast a draw. I

see that "Ac!" Bowker is playing

fairly regularly again for the Club and his presence in the side should considerably strengthen the at- tack F. (Peanut) Marshall who, I presume, is down here for the Annual Race Meeting, is playing for the Club and he should stiffen an already strong batting side. The two playerk who would pro- bably score the most runs for their respective sides this after- noon are Alec Pearce for the Club and Ernie Fincher for Kowloon.

The game between the Army and the Navy should end in a win for the former in view of the fact that the Navy will not be at

By the way. I hear that Lieut. Prowse, that very popular. Navy slow bowler, left for Home by the troopship Lancashire, He had been a tower of strength to the Savy attack for the past couple of seasons and more should b heard of his cricket activities at Home.

Hockey

(BY R, IL. B.)

I am in receipt of Interesting information regarding the Inter "port ladies hockey match is to be played between Hong Kong and Shanghai in the Colony next month. The Shanghai team was anflounced through Reuter on Tuesday.

A commentator writing on ladies hockey in a local contemporary last month made reference to the tact that the Shanghai Ladies Hockey Association had not start- ed their League matches and also had not given the Interport neo- blem a thought, I am authorita tively informed that League games were commenced towards the end of November, and Interport trials were in full swing in the middle of December.

SENIOR SHIELD REPLAY Main interest will be centred in the match between St. Joseph's and Club Recreio, which takes place this afternoon at King's Park, In addition to being a league fix- ture, the encounter between the two First Division teams will alse count as the re-play of the Senior. Shield.

Recreio is fielding fairly the same team as last week, with the exception of "Ed" Silva who is making his reappearance on the playing field after a long absence or account of an injury which he received early in the season. The ine-up, however, has been altered, with their forward line streng- thened by the inclusion of both brothers, Recreio's
