TIMELY INNINGS

BY BOUCHER Saves Navy From Rout In Triangular Tournament Cricket Match

The Army gained a useful position at the end of the first day's play in their Triangular Tournament cricket match against the Navy which is being played on the Club ground. In response to the Navy's 150, the Army scored 165 for the loss of seven wickets, thanks largely to Captain L. J. Walchs, who rattled up a very fast and vigorous 67. Earlier in the day Licut Garthwaite bowled akilfully for the Army to take 7 for 49. The match will be con- cluded to-day.

Below R. Abbit gives his commentary on yesterday's play up to the tea interval.

The game started at 11.40, the nt backward leg off a no-ball from what did not look too nice a pitch. Navy going to the wickets first on Phillimore was bowled early on, but Davies (Uie Engineer-Commander),

and Coclirane took the score to 30 before the former played a bit soon to one of Garthwaite's which cocked up a bit and was caught by mid-off

a soft 'un.
