(By "E. U. Ropes")

Ernie Zimmern and his merry men must have felt quite pleased with themselves last Saturday when, after losing three wickets for six runs, they recovered so well that they not only pulled the game out of the fire, but at the end they scored a moral win over the Indian Recrea- tion Club on whose ground the annual Craigengower- Indians League match was played.
