OWEN HUGHES SCORES A CENTURY
UNSELFISH COMRADES
COLONY'S COMMANDING LEAD OVER MALAYA
Hong Kong extended the overnight lead of 30 over Malaya to 155 runs to-day, the second day in the last match of the Interport cricket triangular tournament, thereby rendering bright the prospects of a double victory.
The feature of the play, however, was the innings of Harry Owen Hughes, who has been capped" regularly, since coming to the Colony a few years, age. He made 108 by brilliant batting and, in the twelfth encounter between Hong Kong and Malaya, became the first player to compile a century against the Southerners.
Play was interesting throughout the morning, the last four batsmen giving the her valuable and unselfish assistance to add 125 runs to the total when stumps were drawn yesterday.
