CIVIL SERVICE BOW TO K.C.C. AFTER GOOD SHOW

UNLUCKY TURN IN GAME CAUSES DEFEAT

Kowloon Recover After Poor Start

BRIGHT BATTING BY CAPT. WALCH

(By R. Abbit)

The Civil Service did not do so badly at Kowloon last Saturday, but they might have done a great deal better if they had had a little more bowling strength. As it was, after a shaky start Kowloon settled down and ran up a big score. Fincher elected to bat first and Lay was aggressive, "seeing" the ball from the start. He hit three nice fours early on, but when Baker relieved Perry, he touched one into slips and Richardson took a quick chance.

Three wickets then fell quickly as hour and three quarters, and were Sayer ran in from cover to take admittedly the better alde, but the from C. B. are showing signs of Improve a aplaning catch low down Munn. Stapleton put his leg in frontment.

Baker took six for twenty three and mado sighteen, while the veteran Alexander had four for fourteen: (try saying that quickly) and made thirty. The Indian batting completely collapsed. However, they have done so well in the past that they must expect a barren time occasionally.

In the other League Game K.C.C. were perfectly horrid to the-C.S.C.C. and the less said about it the better.
