Foolish Batting Order Aids Defeat

NAVY RESUSCITATION

(By R. Abbit)

Whether the hilly slopes of King's Park in any way resemble Mount Gilboa, I do not know. But, as regards defeats, there is a strong histori- cal parallel since last Saturday, when the glory of the 1.B.C. and K.C.C. was slain upon its high torraces.
