Volunteer Camps Interfere

To

Week-end Batting Honours J. F. Lawrence And K. Y. Tam

Several teams were rather cut up by Camps on Saturday last and there was not anything of outstanding interest except the defeat of the Club by the University. The former side was really an A. sido in charge of Major Grose-but they seemed perfectly safe in their do- claration. But one had not counted on the extraordinary weakness of their bowling, or on the fact that the Varsity would take advantage of it to bring off a very stout batting performance. Two centuries in one Saturday after- noon game have been made several times before. But speaking from memory I think it is a good many years since a century was hit for the Var- sity in what may practically rank as a first division game.

N. SINGH BOWLS WELL

The change to opening batsman has certainly seemed to suit J. F. Lawrence very well.

He hit up a very fine century against the University and was not dropped though he told me he put a dangerous one through the slips which did not quite go to hand. Grose, Booker and Bateman did little, all of them falling to N. Singh whom I believe to be Naranjan Singh whose bat- ting in the second eleven I have been writing up as But among so many Singhs worthy of the first team.

I rather lose the exact melody.

John Pearce however, stopped. He seems to be a very much im- batsman this ycar proved
