SCORPIONS BEAT ARMY AND ARE ALL BUT THE CHAMPIONS

BY "RECORDER”

Scorpions heat the Army decisively by six wickets at Sookunpoo on Saturday and are within reach of the Senior League Championship, being now a point behind Army with two games in hand.

Otherwise it was a week of upsets, the principal one of these being the Indian Recreation Club's victory by 10 wickets against the Optimists at Chater Road.

Don't dismiss the point as unimportant. Torquay's John McNeil testifies to the fact that class operators with whom he has played have gone as far as to stuff cotton wool in their ears to shut out the disparagament of their own terrace boys.
