DIPPING INTO Junior Champions Still Striving To Play-Off: Commendable Keenness

CONTRARY TO, EXPECTATIONS the wash; out of last Saturday has not, so far, at all events, forced the I.R.C. and the Police to share the Shiold. I am informed on good authority that the Recroio Club has been, good enough to offor its ground for a game on Saturday next, and provided the weather is reasonably clement a game will be played.

I have been looking through a great many statistics about the two sides, though I am not very keen on figures. On the whole I think it is a very well balanced game with the Indians having a slightly stronger bowling side, but not quite such a probability of runs as have the Police, breakdown in arrangements I Apart from any possible hope to give a full report of the game in my final notes next week.
