And in extenso, they submit that it was no fault of theirs that the all important match with II.M.S.

INGENIOUS INTERPRETATION

The club's interpretion of Rule 22, which is the chief basis of their pro test. In, to say the least, ingenious. They argue that it means a doclding chininpionship match can only be play- ed if two or more teams are level on points at the eloso of the season with The same number of matches taurd.

But it is not insignificant to observe that the only time they hare yet won the Charity and Lal Wah Cups was in 1930, when they achieved the "double". Will history repent Itself this Easter?

The Chinese teams have not yet been published, so that it is im- possible to judge their prospects in this direction.

But the opposition is well known. England has quite a une- ful side for the Charity Cup, and the Civilians are fairly well re- presented for Monday.
