McCormick

As was reported by cable at the time, Ernest McCormick, the Australian fast bowler, was no-balled 30 times in the match against Worcestershire. H. G. Baldwin, former Surrey cricketer, was the umpire. McCormick was penalised for over-stepping the bowling crease with his right foot. In his first three overs McCormick altogether sent down 37 balls, 19 of which were no-balls. They took him nearly half an hour to bowl. Mr. W. II. Jeanes, the Australian manager, attributed McCormick's lapse to lack of practice in trying out his full run of 30 yards. Photo shows the umpire no-balling the fast bowler.

Yet singular results have been ECCH In bowls matches, and one cannot be sure of the Indians' real strength until they have met a few of the stronger sides in the League. The Police entertain the Club de Recreio at Happy Valley, and in view of the poor form shown by the champions it would not sur- prise me very much if the guardians of the peace put it across their ponents. Playing at home, Kowloon B.G.C. should win against Kowloon Docks who, apart from their success the opening day, have not won again.
