The Indians have hopes of being able to carry off the championship again this year-they did it two scasons ago but to do this they must improve their batting and not depend on cine player (M. P. Madar) to get the runs every time.

Where their senior XI failed to obtain 156 runs to win against Craigengower, the Civil Service 2nd XI, on an adjoining ground and faced with the same score, accom plished the task just on time. With an enterprise rarely seen in junior gumes, Harper and Paterson open- ed their shoulders to the bowling and set a splendid example to the succeeding batsmen.

Eletric R.C. appear to have fal- len off somewhat in the last three weeks. They had to make only 102 to win from Royal Engineers, but failed miserably. Alexander was badly missed in the Police team when they crossed over to engage Club de Recreio. His left-hand action in bowling, would have wor ried the Portuguese batsmen and then in batting, too, he would have swelled their total which was 28!
