Civil Servants 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,

Poor old Army "B" made a galiant 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. Last Saturday, he made 57, lock 7 Avickels for 58 runs, bowling un- changed. The Police's total of 101 was for too much for the Army, though, after
