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 team had lost eight wickets for 114 runs, and the K.C.C., who were the visitors to the R.N.RC. ground, had good reason to feel that three Iconue points were practically "in the bag", Forty-five minutes later the score had been advanced to 102 for. 0, and the

Navy had sed for themselves at least one

For this unexpected change of for- tune, the Navy owed practically everything to Captain Carless, who monopolised the bowling to score 57 out of in two minutes short of three-quarters of an hour, hitting two mighty 6's and seven boundaries. Another influence in the metamor- phosis was the breakdown in the K.CC. bowling which, up to the time of Captain Carless's entry, lind been steady and accurate. Simpson came on to be clouted for 25 runs in three

overs
