record in the, Senior League. They had relled far too much on a few men, And this was borne out on Saturday last when they were defeated by 39 runs by the Hongkong 'L.. at Postu- lam. The Kowloon U.C. one of the favourites for championship honours, could-do no better than share the
with the Craigengower C.C., Icaving the Indian R.C. to be the only team to garner full ponts in the senior division.

THE championship is still very open at present, and any team may yet win the Shicid. 'I am afraid their draw with the Kowloon C.C. has left the Craigangower C.C. in an almost hopeless position. The

the Shield. The race, to my mina, will most probably resolve itself into a fight between the champions and t. Kowloon C.C.,, and the Issue may
remain in doubt until these tea meet in the Inst match of the season.
