IN THE MAKING

(By R. Abbit)

MAX SCHMELING.

The Club have only their own lack of enterprise to thank for the Schmeling

fact that they failed to win their match against the Army on Saturday last. They won the toss but did not put their opponents in.

It is generally held now that this is the best thing to do if one is all out to force a win. · Still it may be arguable. But, after, having agreed to draw stumps at 5.45 p.m.-five minutes before the proper time by the way they did not declare until five minutes to four, and thus gave the Army a hundred minutes to get two hundred runs. When the strength of the Club bowling is considered this is of course ultra-cautious, especially in view of the fact that the only real quick'scoring bat in the Army team is Captain Williams. lege

The Civil Service are lucky to find Whitley and (I think) Ballard playing for the Army. Even so I doubt if hey can do more than draw with the 3.A.S.C. The Club and Police are at home respectively to University seconu and K.C.C. second in friendly games.
