PRESENT-DAY BOWLERS NOT NEARLY

AS EFFICIENT AS THOSE OF YORE AEGER

High Scoring Again Marks Week-End Cricket Games

(By "R. Abbit”)

THE BATTING in the two senior división games on Saturday last was, though' patchy, rather too good for the mediocre bowling that is. all that exists in the Colony at prosent.

I am not forgetting some exceptional figures this. year but they were all in the second division where the batting can be, and often is, very bad indeed. kong C.C, at Chater Road on Saturday, but the game ended in a draw,

The Police, owing to the claims of duty and football, had only very weak side out and were all out for 87, Orem (29) and Danbrowsky (13) alone getting double figures. I have at last discovered the reason for this initial Singh business! It is the papers who do it!
