OLD RIVALS, FRIENDS MEET AT VALLEY Craigengower And Indians In Important Match

OLD KIYALS AND FRIENDS meet at Happy Valley to-day in a match which, early though the league season is; will in all ke- I refer, of course, to Bhood serve as a pointer to things to come. the game between Craigenguwer and the Indians, last year's joint- champions of the First Division.

Whatever happens the match is sure to prove interesting. It always does when these two sides meet. It will probably resolve itself into a question of whether, on the one hand, George Souza. Ernest Zimmern. A RH. Esmail and Company, can master A. R. Minu; and, on the other hand, whether A. H. Madar, K Nazarin... A. R. Kicheli, M. el Arculli, and one or two others can master P. J. Billimoria.

Kitchief, and perhaps M. el Arcuit. while B- moria will be backed up by Francis Zimmern, A. K. Ismail, George Souza, and A. T. Lee. Unless the pitch does a lot, however, I hardly think the "support" of elther side, with the exception of Zimmern is

The main event in to-morrow's softball programme will be the official opening of the Hong League at 2.30 p.m. on the Re- creio ground. Arrangements are being made to have a band in -attendance.
