Indians Drop Catches At Important Stages

Had the Indians held all their catches in their League match against the Hongkong C.C. on the town ground on Saturday, they might have been possessors of three valuable points at the end of the game; but they did not take full advantage of those that went to hand, and as a result had to be content with sharing the spoils.
