When, after a good deal of rain had fallen in the night and early morning, the aun made up its mind to come out, I thought that there was going to be a perfect glue-pot wicket at the K.C.C. ground on Saturday afternoon

But though the bowlers were help- ed to a certain extent-and more so, I thought, in the first hour than later I should hesitate to say that the pitch was ver very difficult, possibly because the sun was never very hoi.

The Police batted first and though Carey and Stephens batted well, and Baker played a nlee innings towards the end, their batting never rose to its usual level. They are always a side which reacts unfavourably 10 strange surroundings and, good as the Kowloon bowling was, I feel sure they would have made far more runs at the Valley. As it was they were out for 05 and at one time looked likely to get less.

21

Hung bowled very well and the bail which took Carey's wicket was beauty but he would have got many more wickets if he had bowled at the stumps instead of outside the of stump, simply because the batsmen were mostly beaten by his pace and failure to hit the ball at all: so the expected slip catches did not mature.

The fact that Sohan Lal was able to beat a former Davis Cup Lawn tennis player for France in straight acts, recently, may be taken as a good augury for India's part in this year's contest for the trophy. I do not, of course, suggest that it means India has any chance of beating France-or any other "large (lawn tennis) power." But there is every reason to believe that they will get at least as far as they are expected to, and perhaps a little nearer to the goal.
