"R. Abbit's' Cricket Comments
CRICKET TAKES ITS PLACE Encouraging Enthusiasm Shown By Games Clubs: Pleasant Week-end
BY NOW the cricket season has been going on for a month and it is pleasant to find that there is so much of it. Teams of course are bound to vary as various members are away training or in Camp. But as long as one remembers that it does not matter who wins, all is and will be well.
