Detractors of local cricket, Jeremiahs who moan about its slowness and duliness, hide your diminished head! At Sookun- poo, at King's Park, and elsewhere on Saturday, cricket was play- ed, which for interest and thrills would have taken a lot of beat- ing.

Magnificent fielding, particularly in the way of the snapping- up of catches when a split second's hesitation meant the losing of the opportunity, was the essence of these thrills, and in this respect it is a moot point whether the Indians-Civil Services came at Sooranpoo, or thể Kowloon-Hong Kong match at King's Park took the palm.

"We are having far too many Cup games and I propose, that when we draw up the programme for the next season we should try to cut this particular brand of football down by, half," said Mr. J. McKelvie at the monthly meeting of the Football Association Coun- cil last evening.

Mr. McKelvie proposal was followed by some considerable dis- cussion and the general oplaton expressed seemed to favour Mr. Mc- Kelvie who said that, the Cup matches, confined as they were to a mère handful of players, tended to make the rest of the footballers lose Interest in the game.
