Both Garthwaite and Hamilton have been utter failures in the trials. Garthwaite although he captured three wickets on Saturday was far from impressive, while his batting was very patchy. He got some nice shots to the log, but The trint also revealed that A. W.showed a doclded woaknoas on the liayward's eleven, which on paper off.

Hamliton is inclined to be too reckless as a batsman, and a bowler far too erratic.

AFTER a month of football which had reached an unusually high stan- dard, it was not altogether surprising during the week-end to find a reaction set in, and the football to revert to that type so common last

season.

TWO games suffered very badly in this respect-Club v Police and South China v St. Joseph's,whilst Kowloon supporters could find very little to console them in the fact that their team deserved to win against the Athletic, but didn't.
