NOTEWORTHY RECORD

A PROPHECY WHICH NEARLY

AN ENTERPRISING TEAM

(By R. Abbit)

I do not propose to deal in this article with the small amount of cricket which took place last week. Such reference as I shall make will appear in my notes on Friday next. To-day I propose to give some figures and facts about Army cricket, and to indulge in some reflections of cricket generally in the Army here. It is the easier for me to do so in that I have had very full figures from Corp. W. H. Colledge to whom I am much obliged.
