NON-LEAGUE GAMES

The K.C.C. are the most Indefatig able of players. In addition to their League programme of which I have given the figures, they played seven-, teen other games of which they won

six drew one and lost ten. It shows the sporting nature of the cricket they played when one realises that they finished sixteen games out of seventeen, and though they netually lost ten games, a good deal of their trouble was earlier on in the season, And incidentally in some of their very Jelly all day holiday games they took on some exceptionally strong sides when not at full strength. There is nothing wrong with cricket at the K.C.C.I wish there was as much keenness all over the Colony. The next two tables I print the batting and bowling figures, which incide the Lengue figures already given. It will be seen that Mackay, who has had a splendid season, still tears Lay, who had player for sounder cricket this year, comes up to secand place, while F. S. W. Smith shows much more to advantage than in League.

In the bowling Robert Lee creeps. up on Goodwin-and actually beats him for wickets taken—and each have. over fifty wickets. But here again it is painfully obvious what a great proportion of the bowling they have donc.

Next season Kowloon have got to get a couple more good change bowlers or I fear their chances of securing the Shield are nil!

TEN YEARS' RECORD

The Three Cultures Club was form- ed more than 10 years ago, when font- ball among the Chinese in Shanghai was just beginning to spout, Denis Chen succeeded in raising a decent football team from among the mem bers of the Chinese Rrerention Ground near West Gate, while another team in the name of the Union Football Club was organised in rivalry with the Culturists.

In those days a match between and the Umons, would draw thousands these two rival teams, The Cultures of spectators to the Pioneer Fleidin the French Concession, the former home of the Chinn National Amateur Athletic Foderation. Spurred by the ausis and spectators Denis Chen enthusiasm among the expended a fortune on the promotion

of sports sums to the CNA.A.F. and other contributing substantial kindred organisations and donating numerous prizes for various competi

Denis Chen hea not only spent large aums on sports but has also helped unfortunaté athletes by giving them

In the Junior League the Second Eleyen, like the first, were unbeaten but they drew five out of the ten games played and so had no chance of the Shield.
