TIMID SHANGHAI BATTING
NORTHERNERS LACKED OPENING BOWLERS FULL STATISTICS FOR MATCH PICKETTS won the Interport for Hong Kong
yesterday at the H.K.C.C, plucky batting before lunch, clever bowling in the fourth innings and two catches being mainly responsible for Shanghai's defeat by 31 runs.
In a way Hong Kong were lucky to wing as Shanghai, faced with 179 to win, were in a very good position before their dis- astrous second innings. Timid batting against accurate bowling proved their downfall, as the wicket did not play as many tricks as was first expected.
It is almost silly to talk of what might have happened, but it is almost certain that the gallant stand made by the last two Colony wickets early in the day robbed the Northerners of all

The Hong Kong Ladies have been strengthened by several newcomers and players returning from leave, although they will still feel the absence of Miss Fope from the centre-half berth.
In Mrs. Lanson they have acquired probably the best cus- todian in the Colony, while at full-back they have Miss J. Smalley,
