The fact that they lost does not to my mind altor the fact that they did the right thing.

Batsmen In Scoring Mood

Against the University second,—not a dangerous batting side though they can keep their wickets up the K.C.C. accond eleven held on until ten past four when they had 211 on the board. It is true that it enabled two men to complete their centuries. But it probably cost the side a win.

Hulsa batted very well for the Craigengower side, and I was sorry only to see the last third of his innings. Going in first wicket down he remained unde- fented at the end of the innings scoring fifty-eight.

As the next highest batting WILA nine, Cralgengower score would have made an even worse showing but for the fact that there were 45 extras!

Sporting Declaration

I WAS very interested to see that Ride has decided to play for the Varsity in the league. It will stiffen their batting tremendously. They are already a very much improved side and should do quite well.

INTERNATIONAL belligerence generally has resulted in the private variety being stimulated considerably. Between 1914-1918 there were twenty-five title fights in England and the Inter-Allied Tournaments during 1918 and 1919 provided an immense stimulus to the boxing game in London.
