EXCITING FINSH TO JUNIOR CRICKET TIE

One of the most exciting finishes in the present cricket season was seen at Sookunpoo on Saturday when the Indian R.C. and the University met in the Junior League, the match ending in tie Needing five runs to win when the last over was started, the under graduates obtained four and, therefore, had to be content with sharing the spoils.

NAVY SIDE DECLARED TOO LATE

Might Have Beaten K.C.C. Seconds

At ten minutes to four on Satur- day, the Navy junior league cricket leam had lost right wickets for 114 runs, and the K.C.C., who were the visitors to the RN.R.C. ground, had Food reason to feel that three league points were practically "in the bag". Forty-five minutes later the score had been advanced to 182 for 9, and the Navy had guaranteed for themselves

at least one point.

For this unexpected change of for- tune, the Navy owed practically everything to Captain Carless, who monopolised the bowling to score 57 out of 88 in two minutes short of three-quarters of an hour, hitting two mighty O's and seven boundaries. ties. Another influence in the metamor- phosis was the breakdown in the K.C.C. bowling which, up

the time of Captain Carless'a entry, had been steady and accurate. Simpson came on to be clouted for 25 runs in three overs (14 off the first six balls), while Macfitlane, Lay, Luke and Baldwin, who had hitherto Com→ manded the deepest respect, were treated most uncercinoniously by the enterprising Captain.

Apart from one hard chance at second slip, Carless put nothing to hand,

although he never disdained to loft the ball. But while he made-

foreing shot to nearly every

ball,

it was not blind swiping. One re- calls two or three lovely off drives which sent the ball simply whizzing along the ground through the covers. RIGIDITY AND ENTERPRISE

72.

The Navy innings provided singu- lar contrasts of rigidity and enter- prise. After a shaky start which saw Clayton out at 11, Smith and Brown, by means of very correct, but rather unimaginative batting raised the total to 50. But it took them lo do it, and neither shaped very a long time confidently against the K.C.C. battery. When Smith was well run out to ridiculous call by Brown, the Navy experienced a real period of the doldrums. The third wicket fell at and then Lay and Baldwin skittled out the next three balsmen without addition. It seemed that the Navy would not reach three figures, but again there came a stiffening in the batting.
