Club-Kowloon Draw RUNNING EASILY

Superiority Of Batting Over Bowling

Anderson And Owen Hughes Unfortunate To Miss Centuries

IT WAS PERFECT CRICKET · weather on Saturday last, and cricketers took full advantago of it. The scores ruled generally low, though at the K.C.C. 337 runs were scored for 13 wickets, and of these the last four of the Club wickets wore thrown away in a desperate but unavailing attempt to get the runs on time.

The match was one of those which so often occur between these two Clubs, where the batting in each case is much superior to the bowling. The result is that there are a few big scores by the "cracks" and then, as often as not, the rest have to bustle for the runs, or possibly miss their innings.

On Saturday, Kowloon were at one time in none too good a way.) One is tempted to say that but for Anderson they would have been out for under 100, but it la Had he no sound argument. failed, some of the other failures might have come off.

As it was, K.C.C. lost a couple of wickets early on but A. Zimmern. hung on and stopped the rot for a. time.
