Joint Junior Champions Still Hope To Play-off

(By "R. Abbit”)

I HAD NOT THOUGHT that I should be writing any more cricket this season, but the I.R.C. Second XI and the Police are most anxious not to let the Junior Shield be shared. I turned up shortly before 2 p.m. on Saturday Inst, as I was advised that the match would be played if ut all possible. I had promised to umpire!

TAKING ALL IN ALL—the state of tracks, the weather and such things—a roview of the LONDON, May 6 (Reuter),— athletic meetings held in the Colony over the past Djeber is favourite for the New fow months is a pleasant one. The University Derby. The latest call-over is as Manchester

and the Schools' sports led up to the grand finals —tho three-day Meet just concluded at Caroline Hill-and the figures that have emerged are of a high standard, and together with the enthusiasm give indication of very healthy support to any As- sociation that would be organised in Hongkong.

One must applaud the initiative the South China Athletic Association have shown in organising the recent Meeting, it has been their second effort, and in so doing have pointed the way towards organized competition in the Colony.

I sincerely trust that there will be a fine day. If so, I shall hope to write some account of the match on Tuesday next.

It was a tribute to the organisation that despite these numbers, the whole meet was most efficiently conducted, and the novelty and handicap races that constituted the programme made the day a most successful one.
