Cricket Practice Falling Interest

Among Local Players

Hopes For New Season

(By. "Tinker")

IN JUST OVER A MONTH, nets in most Clubs will be raised and once again cricket will get into its stride with, it is hoped, a little greater enthusiasm than was shown last year. In many ways, the falling off of interest-except in the Kowloon Cricket Club-is rather odd, for there are no outstanding reasons for it. Volunteer and other military duties have caused a cer- tain amount of interference, but not to the extent that the general attitude would indicate.
