CRAIGENGOWER GIVEN A LESSON BY NAVY

Side Dismissed Cheaply After Batting Order Had Been Chopped About

BRISK SCORING IN SOME OF THE GAMES PLAYED

(By "R. ABBIT"}

The old maxim of captaincy that you should never meas about with your batting order until a game is won was strikingly illus. trated on Saturday last when Ernie Zimmern, after getting the Navy out for 118 put down his batting order very nearly in re versal Actually the order was changed as the Craigengower skipper went in when five wickets had fallen for ten runs!

ORDNANCE DEFEAT POLICE "B"

In Hockey Tourney By Solitary Goal

A very poor encounter was wit- nessed оп Saturday when the R.A.O.C. met the Police "B" on the laiter's ground at Boundary Road in the Hongkong Hockey Association Tournament, and after a rather one- sided match the Ordnance won by a goal scored by Coughlan in the latter stages of the second half.

Playing on a hard ground did not

suit the Ordnance forwards, and they never seemed to get control of the ball when in the circle. They also spoilt many chances through short passing, when hitting the bolt from wing to wing would have upset the Police defence; as it was, how- uyer, they gave the Police bucks the chance to clear their lines, which they did in real good fashion.

The Ordnance were best served by their defence, Captain Tracy at centre half, playingt fine game, and
