Unfor only to the contractor.
tunately, there are no contractors. in the Hongkong Cricket Team and so for them at least there has been a dash of Purgatory in it-as far as the actual cricket has been concerned Doubtless upon the return of the side to the Colony a "hats off to Malaya" movement wil be inaugurated: and this should be all to the good, for the tandard of cricket-in-this-part of the world has, perhaps, never been higher. One rents in the old days of the Singapore C.C. or the home side making such scores as ten and twelve; but on these occasions they ascally dismissed their opponents for six, or even. one run, as the records show. But cyen, the high standard of the olden days has been improved, and the side which so soundly trounced Hongkong in the interport mateh would most likely beat any of the Minor Counties at Home.
Perfect Cricket Atmosphere." It may not, perhaps, be quite fitting that a mere visitor should "attempt to write about cricket in such a classic atmosphere, but he may be allowed to say a few things about the tour itself. From start to finish it has been a sheer joy to meet the home players and to become a member of the vari- ous Clubs. It has always been a tradition in Hongkong that one had to go to the Straits to get the perfect cricket atmosphere, and

Bath players felt the strain of a fast pace in the match. Play was of a high standard but it was obvious that Rumjahn whose weakest point is inconsistency- was losing control after the second set. Honda's superiority lay in his placing and court generalship. His experience also stood him in good stead. Rumjaha mixed his shota and cut beautifully at times. The shot with which Rumjahn won the second set was He sliced it with such a freak. ane precision, and excellent wrist play, that the balh just skimmed the net and rebounded over the net into his own court. Even if the opponent had been prepared, he would not have been able to play the shot.
