INTERPORT CRICKET.
MALAYA vs. HONGKONG.
INTERESTING STATE OF GAME.
Much keenness was depicted by both sides in this morning's resumed game between Malaya and Hongkong in the last of the triangular interport matches
Livock and Foster, the "not out" batsmen overnight, when Malaya had scored 20 runs for 2 wickets down in their second innings, opened to Reed (Law Courts end) and Bowker.
From the beginning the Hongkong Belding was superb, Han- cock had arranged his field to perfection, picking up was clean, returns smart and backing-up keen. Ramsay might have been blamed for letting through one on the boundary through trying to pick up on
the run.
