Shanghai's Second Victory
Rawsthorne's Able Bat Prevents Possible Collapse SUB-LT. DICK REACHES HALF CENTURY
MOORES' GOOD BOWLING
Shanghai won the toss in their second match at Wei-hai-wei, against H.M.S. Birmingham and Stokes and Anstice opened at 1.45 p.m. against the bowling of Moores and Christison. Spectators were hardly settled in their seats when Stokes was 1.b.w. to a ball which appeared to be rising rather high.
(
Booth was then associated in a short stand with Anstice, but neither batsman appeared confident and the latter failed to go out far enough to a ball from Moores and was caught in the slips after having scored a useful 18. Leach joined Booth but after having hit a beautiful four, the former was taken unawares by a ball that came in sharply from the leg and was caught in the slips.
Marshall who followed, was: clean bowled by a ball he ob- viously knew nothing about. Sin- clair joined Booth only to see the latter present an easy catch to the bowler after a patient in- nings realising 11 runs.
Gloomy Prospects
The score at this stage of the game read 42 for 5. The potential scoring ability of the remaining batsmen be- ing anything but dependable,
pro-
spects of a good score were gloomy, particularly in view of the continued excellent bowling of Moores and Chris- tison.
This Was not to be however. Rawsthorne going in sixth wicket down, wasted no time in going for the bowling, scoring a six and two fours in his first over. Sinclair, pulling well and generally batting with con- fidence, appeared set for a stand with anyone who could withstand the

AUSTRALIAN'S POOR BATTING AT SWANSEA
ONLY FIVE HOURS PLAY
(By AIR MAIL)
Swansea, August 2.
The concluding stage of Glamorgan's match with the Austra- lians at Swansea yesterday proved lacking in real incident. The pitch, despite hot sunshine and a drying wind, took a long time to improve, and nothing could be done before lunch.
While
groundsmen worked hard on the wicket, thousands of people queued up outside the ground in the hope of seeing Bradman bat, and at four o'clock about 3000 paid sixpence each for admission for at the most an hour and a half's cricket.
The Austrailian captain did not play, but eventually consented to consider the pitch fit enough for go out, while Mr. W. H. Jeanes, the tourists's manager, was twice ap- proached on the quention of the cheaper admission price before he would agree,
