GALLANT, BUT UNAVAILING BOWLING OF FRANK PEREIRA AND A. R. MINU

(By R. Abbit)

The Games in the first division of the Shield last Saturday went more or less in accord with anticipation. In each case it was rather a ques- tion of whether the weaker side could force a draw-and they failed to do so. The hardest task was that of the H.K.C.C. who had to defeat As I the Indians upon the Sookunpoo ground. said last week, a good deal depended upon whether the 1.R.C. could be made to bat first, and, as it happened, Hayward was in a position to put them in.
