Enjoying Some Success

CRUSHING DEFEAT OF CLUB DE RECREIO

One of the most crushing victories of last Saturday was obtained by the Civil Service who shot out Club de Recreio for 64'runs, and one of the most noticeable fea- tures of this season as regards individual players has been the marked improvement of F. Baker. He was always a useful bowler though he has always been rather unlucky, in the matter of wickets. This year, however, he has improved his batting enormously and though I should not call him either a correct or a polished performer, he gets runs very quickly.

POLICE WIN

Poor old Army "3" made a gallant struggle of it with the Police, who had, one of their good days with the bat. I should very much like to see Pope in big cricket here (If there was any!), as he has been doing con- sistently well in the Junior games. Lost Saturday, he made 57, took 7 Avickets for 58 runs, bowing un- changed. The Police's total of 101 Was far too much for the Army, though, after they had lost three wickets cheaply, they died gome.
