The Kowloon fielding, for them, was unusually poor. Ramsay and E. F. Fincher were the only ex- ceptions they were always most dependable. Smith redeemed ħfra- alf somewhat for his indifferent display when he brilliantly caught Quick off his own bowling.

Of the League matches, which were all in the Junior Division, the overwhelming win of Craigen- gower over Electric R.C. was rather surprising.
