KENT CRASH: PARKER'S DEADLY SPELL

By C. W. Packford

Blackheath: Sufrey beat Kent by 9 wickets

London, July 12.

Bowlers had a joy day here. There was no real reason for it with a wicket that was rather on the casy side than anything else; it was simply an instance of a few inspired individuals "getting on top" with the ball and remaining there.

In the course of three and a half hours no fewer than 10 wickets fell for 176 runs, of which two players claimed 67.

Surrey were in a happy position when play resumed, with eight wie- kets in hand they were only 21 be- hind, and when they went ahend, with the loss of another batsinan we rather settled down in anticipation of a glut of cuns, especially as Kent were without Douglas Wright,

RINKS FINAL POSTPONED

The final of the rinks com- petition, arranged for yester- day on the Kowloon B.G.C. green, was postponed. In spite of the rain on Saturday night and yesterday morning, the green was still in a fit state for play until J heavy shower flooded the ground shortly before 330 pm.
