NAVY SIDE DECLARED TOO LATE

Might Have Beaten K.C.C. Seconds

At ten minutes to four on Satur- day, the Navy Junior league crlekel team had lost eight wickets for 114 runs, and the K.C.C., who were the visitors to the R.N.R.C. ground, had good reason to feel that three league points were practically in the bag". Forty-Ave minutes later the score had been advanced to 182 for 9, and the Navy had guaranteed for themselven 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 60 in two minutes short of three-quarters of an hour, hitting two mighty G's and seven boundaries, Another influence. in the metamor- phosis was the breakdown in the K.C.C. bowling which, up the
