CIVIL Craigengower Collapse Against Kowloon: Fine Showing By University

SERVANTS?

(By "R. Abbit”)

AT HAPPY VALLEY on Saturday I saw most of the Civil Service vs. I.R.C. first eleven match, and was most agrocably surprised in the team work and play of the Civil Servants.

Their ground fielding was excellent and their bowling adequate, while the new opening com- bination of Richardson and Fortescue soomed to work botter, bringing Colledge in at number five.

THE Indians batted frat on

a pitch that was never easy and found McLellan ready to takel advantage of it. Ife secured the three first wickets cheaply. A. H. Madar held up' an end. though he appeared to be drop-| ped in the slips early on.

After an over in which he started dropping them short, McLollan wise. ly went off for Whitley, and the change proved successful as Y. el Arculli was bowled, and two amore

CRICKET INVITATION,

Late during the summer..we re- ceived an invitation from the Shang- hal Cricket Club, to send up a team this October, but the rapidly develop- ing war situation, of course, made this impracticable. We must awalt until the war is won before the series can be taken up afresh.

The question of Introducing Lown Bowls, inentioned at the last annual meeting, was duly tackled and in the. north-east corner of the ground has been laid out, what I am told, is a very good green. Judging by the numbers making use of this innova→ tion during the summer evenings, it must be considered a success, and will, I am now satisfied, justify the money spent on it. I am glad that this addition to the Club's amenities has not Interfered with cricket and tennis......
