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.
