CLUB AND KOWLOON NEED BOWLERS

Enthusiasm Shown By KAI TAK BEAT H.M. Forces: Veterans' Enjoyable Match

CRICKET WAS NOT very much in evidence on Saturday last as the only senior Division teams who had a game were the Club and K.C.C. They played at the Kowloon Club's ground, and the game was very typical of the two sides, as neither has much bowling-dangerous bowling that is- while each possesses several men who are quite capable of knocking up a big score.

The Club batted first, and after his rather a long period of small scores Ride got going and ran up a useful score of 64. Carey opened with him, but was bowled by Baxter after scoring 17. Then Alec Pearce took charge and the Club were able to declare at 179 for four wickets. The K.C.C. attack suffered a great deal from the absence of Lloyd, as both Anderson and Robert Lee were rather expensive. The fact that B.D. Lay cannot turn out regularly for them is unfortunate as he makes a much needed addition to the attack.

The Club bowlers were in much the same position as those of K.C.C. Neither Dow nor Charl-1 ton could do anything, and Jobnj Pearce was heavily punished. Anderson (57) played an excel-i lent knock, and E. F. Fincher, who is in form at present, knocked up 38. Kowloon, however, falled to get the runs,

and twenty-two behind when stumps were drawn. They had had only two overs less than the Club batsmen. I was rather surprised to sce that Carey was not given a chance with the ball,

TORREY SUBDUED

Lewis wa a spirited inside three for Kal Tak and frequently, came across to tackle. He usually had the better of his man and more. AN EXPERIMENT

THE AIRMEN experimented with two scrumhalves' and packed seven forwards only, Whilst one forward put the ball into the scrum, the other walled behind to pass it out. It was not a great success, and is certainly noi Kai Tek's policy, to continue with it as long as their pack is light as it is.
