INNINGS VICTORY
(Continued from Page 1.)
With the total at 51, both bats- men with double figures, Brace was put to on bowl-in place of Dobble and secured a scalp in his
first over.
Braddell Hits a Six. As a matter of fact, Foster might have been caught by Wales but it was a very plucky effort as it was. The Inst ball of the over rose and went off Foster's bat to the slips, Dale again bringing off a fine catch-five wickets down for 55 runa.
Foster's innings of 18 was not entirely without blemish but he played some good scorings and de- fensive strokes. At a time when things were going badly for his side, he took part in a useful part- nership of 23.

Braddell's knock came at the right time and put enthusiasm into the Malaya batsmen. He gave a palpable chance of being stumped off Wales but his innings earned deserved applause,
Whitley's Firework. The 70 up came after 75 min- utes' play, when Whitley went in to partner Ford. The newcomer hit 2 fours off Wales in one over, | the first being fortunate and the second a well-placed big hit.
Whitley proceeded to extract 2 fours from Brace. The first caused Hayward, after a long run, to tumble into the ladies' chairs at the Naval Yard corner and the batsmen ran out their four for the first time in the Interport. The second was a rather lucky snick to
