CRICKET NOTES.

[By "Two Legs."}

What little chance the Royal Artillery hud of overtaking, the Hongkong C. C. in the Senfor Lengue was completely ruined by Kowloon on Saturday. The Club, with a match in hand, have now definitely become the champlons. They have also won the Junior championship double feat in the same season which has also been previously performed by the University, Civil Service and the K.C.C.

The Peninsula XI, who

were without Goodwin and Ross, were

not at full strength, but managed to tronnee the Gunners very con- vincingly. E. C. Fincher, who has had a particularly lean time for a steady bit of his calibre, appears to be coming into his own. In the last two or three matches he has shown something like his real form. What a pity, however, that he has just got going at the end of the season.

Musson, Lench and Wright, three of the most dependable bata, failed badly and but for Col. Christian whe made 30, the R.A. would have been in a much more sorry plight.

The University secured a very creditable victory over the Navy at Pokfulam. It looked odds on the visitors creating a surprise when they put up 122 for two wickets after being set 172 runs. In the

Mr Strellelt continued that it was therefore necessary for him to be prepared for no less than 20 dif- ferent authorities to deal with situations which Mr. Brewer had suggested he might reply upon. An extraordinary amount was involved, including Mr. Brower's wife's neces- saries.

The Results,

Yesterday's matches resulted as follow:

".The caso started on August 3, 1927, there were 12 Interlocutory applications, and, in view of the n ture of the defences, Mr. Strellett asked his Lordship to approximate the case to one in ordinary jurisdic- tion, remarking that it was the closest Summary Court case to that type of proceeding that his Lord- ship would find.

Mr. Strellett went on to refer to rules governing costs, in which he submitted that his Lordship had· the power to place costs on a higher senle than Scaie 3, which was for the fact that he has ripe municipal 'amounts claimed over $200.

An anonymous offer of £200 6 year for five years, if four similar offers are made by the end of April, has been received by the Royal Female Orphange, Beddington, Sur- rey, to help reduce its deficit.

The R.AS.C, sprang a surprise on Craigengower on Sunday. Their victory was all the more praise- worthy as Craigenpower had the services of Braibury, Reed and Omar of the 1st XI. I have always heen against the inclusion of first team players in Junior Division matches but it appears that there are occasions when this practice, which has become rather common, is unavoidable. How ever, it is really Immaterial at this time when the championships of hoth divisions have been decided.

The remaining fixtures are not yet devoid of interest as the run- ners-up position in the Senior League is still in the balance. The University are the most favourably placed for this berth with the Indians as their closest rivals. The latter have yet to meet Craigengower and the Chinese, both of which fixtures they should win, in which event they will bring their aggregate to 14 points. The 'Varsity, however, will have 10 points should they beat the Artillery in their last match on Saturday week. Kow- loon and the Navy have 12 and 10 points respectively, but they have both completed their fixtures.

The Civil Service play their Inst league match when they receive the R. A. this week. With a very depleted afde, the Happy Valley. XI will be hard put to it to retain the full points.
