A Recs XI easily defeated an S.C.C.
a encounter on the ground yesterday afternoon, ing at 231 for eight wickets and retiring their opponents for a mere 108 to win by 123 runs.
The earlier Recs' batsmen scored well, getting their runs in quick time and provided the onlookers with an attractive contrast io the run scoring efforts of their senior side, playing on the adjoining field.
Madar and R. Shroff, the opening bats for the Recs, hit out at everything pitched up to them, and the score-board was never quiet for a minute. Shroff, in particular, was severe on Cantopher and Woolhouse, but after hitting up an excellent 34 vut of 59, he retired indisposed. His brother, S. F. Shroff, carried on the good work and scored 29 out of the 38 added for the second partnership, five boundaries being his best strokes.
Madar and Mehta continued to use aggressive tactics and Madar eventually reached the coveted 50 mark after faultless knock. He was, finally bowled by Sluis after hitting up splendid 57 that included five boun ies. With a rot set his dismissal. the next five wickets falling for the addition of only six runs. and Brodd then became assod they used the long handle belabouring the attack cess that 64 runs were put on for the ninth wicket with neither being out. The innings was declared closed at the tea-interval the se 231 for eight wickets, ing distinguished himself with a most useful 41 not out.
S. F. Shroff put paid to any hopes the S.C.C. side might have had of getting the runs by attacking persistently with his leg-spinners, which had the bats opposing him in o series of difficulties after another His final analysis of seven wickets for 30 gives an accurate indication of the deadliness of his bowling, and though the earlier players did fairly well, none of them was at all ci fortable against his deliveries
