One game in particular provides f an excellent illustration of his form
The K.C.C. were at the time strong contenders for the championship when. they met the Chinese, Tate in the sea- son. The latter batted first and, thanks to a contribution of 88 not out by Hung, ran up a very useful score. Hung then followed up his batting feat by taking eight cheap wickets to give his teams a brilliant victory.
I understand that it is very like- ly that Hung will again play for his old club if a team is definitely got together, as will his brothers, Douglas and Archie, who play for Craigengower. These three, sup>- ported by other experienced cric- keters such as J. L Youngsaye, Ng Sze-kwong, C: W. Lam, Tani Wai-pui and M. W. Lo should form the nucleus of quite a useful side.
It is not generally known that M. W. Lo, who has made his mark as a tennis player, was in his young days an exceptionally good cricketer and England captained his school's cricket eleven, o

If he could be induced to turn out regularly, he would be a de cided asset, as would Tsui, who is a very punishing right-handed batsman who bowls left-handed.
