TOMORROW'S LEAGUE CRICKET

"SCORPIONS" NEED STING TO BEAT RECREIO

By "RECORDER"

The big match in tomorrow's League Cricket will be the meeting of the HKCC "Scorpions," known until last week as the "Nomads," against Club de Recreio.

Recreio's 137 for 3 last Saturday against a Craigen- gower attack that lacked good opening bowlers, was more than can be expeeled at King's 'Park tomorrow afternoon against Howarth and Owen-Hughes, but a stand from the carly wickets that would wear out the Scorpion's primary asset in the attack could leave Recreio's strong tail à merry knock.

Plans To Last 10 Years

As Big League Player

Cleveland, Oct. 28.-Larry Doby expects to last 10 or 12 years as a major league baseball player, and one of his methods of staying there is to say "no" to winter ban- quet invitations.

"I'm going to stay in shape. It's going to be hard to turn down the winter banquet Invitations, but I don't want to eat my way out of the major leagues.

LORD BURGHLEY PREDICTS

AMERICAN ATHLETIC SUPREMACY WILL BE CUT DOWN AT FUTURE OLYMPICS

London, Oct. 28-Lord Burghley, Chairman of the British 1948 Olymples Or- ganising Committee, predicted today that other nations will cut down United States supremacy in future classics, but added: “I think America will win and keep on winning for many more Olymplads."

Hinting America's expected domination, would be the main problem of the 1962 Gamos at Helsinki, the cheerful blonde peer, who once was an Olympic champion him- seit, said: "We could have got some simply wonderful material."

"But as we ancient Britons found out, the more people keep learning your games the harder it becomes to stay ahead of the pack. I think the United States will find this os true in future as my country finds it to be right now." Lord Burghley Press:
