Redoubtable Carlos Silva Lose To Jack Shepherd

LAST SATURDAY THE INDIAN R.C, AT SOOKUNPOO BROUGHT OFF A MOST UNEXPECTED WIN AT THE EXPENSE of the strong Kowloon Bowling Green "A" whom they beat by eleven shots. This is by far the biggest success for should I have said "bigger" as they have only won twice in three games?) of the other four achieved by the Indians to date, The results matches in the First Division were as expected.

The two leaders in the Second Division. Kowloon Tong and Pri son Officers, both playing away, won in their respective inatches, the former easily beating Hongkong Cricket Cluh by 46 shots. In- cidentally, Kowloon Tong and Cralgengower in the First Division were the only two teams to score the maximum points last Satur- day and strangely enough, both shared the credit of scoring the highest aggregate for the afternoon, each with 99 shots.

Cralgengower. however, had the Kowloon CC have yet to win their bigger margin of win, their. op first match, ponents. Kowloon CC.. securing only 41 shots whereas Hongkong C.C. scored 43 against Kowloon Tong.
