Fenton's Splendid Feat Against R. Engineers

The rain on Saturday last washed out all the cricket and most of my notes. I was not aware of it, but apparently a scratch toam of K.C.C. which managed to total nine mèmbers in all, took on the Sappers on Sunday. The only two people who did anything for K.C.C. were Anderson (82 not out) and Mackay (67).

Their 8 wickets produced 193 runs. The best bowl- ing figures returned for the Sappers were those of Denyer which read 9.7-1-45-5. The Sappers' batting however went to bits. Tropp got 22 not out. Ratcliffe 12, and the whole side were out for 62.

Although he put in some stift train- ing for the fight, Schmeling was still too flabby and lacked the stamina to go a gruelling 10-round bout at the pace set by Nicki Wan. He tipped: the beam at 194 pounds while Wan weigh in at 180.

Nicki Wan did not look as effec- ive against Schmeling as he did in 1 his workouts but that was probably due to the fact that he was wary of Schmeling's terrife righthand punch.
