CRICKET.
HONGKONG CRICKET CLUB V. PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
This match, played on Saturday last, when a good start was made at 11.30 a.m., ended, con- trary to general expectation, in a narrow vic- tory for the Club on the first innings. In viey of the apparent batting strength of the two elevens, it did not seem likely that either side would claim a victory. However, anticipation was upset, for the hall overcame the hat and scoring ruled low. The innings of the Public School men opened disastrously, two good wickets tumbling in the first over. Dyson (whom all cricketers congratulate on his style) and Strong were the only two high up on the list who showed any ability to cope with tho bowling. The Major played a sound defensivo game, but Strong forced the pace off the bowling from the City Hall end. Each scored 31 and between them they made more than half the runs on their side. After nine wickets had disappeared for 76 runs. Hill and Higgon, of the R.W.F, added 34 runs for the last wicket. the former driving well and bagging 20 not out. Sercombe Smith howled better than usual, as his analysis shows. He had only four 4's hit off him and twice took two wickets with successive balls. The coolie, who was fielding as substitute. brought off a grand catch at square leg. for which he received the usual dollar talent money. The score of 110 did not look formidable, but it was nearly too large for the Club. Wall. Maitland, and Dexter saved the defeat by their batting and the Club are indebted to them for its first victory of the season. There were eleven 4s in Maitland's hard hit innings. We hope to see him turn out regularly to help the Club, which cannot spare men of his vigorous style. When he left, the collapse was painful. Though only five wickets were down for 122. the remaining five wickets averaged one run apiece, Salter and Krickenbeek bowling with great effect. Salter's analysis is interesting. riz. 4 overs, 2 maidens, 4 runs, and 2 wickets. It was just as well that he was a late selection. The second innings of the Public Schools opened at about 4 p.m. without promise. But when Strong and Ainslie became ris-à-ris, things began to hum. The R.M.L.I. man laid on well and was quite at case, He played a dash- ing 97 not out, which was much appreciated by the onlookers. The innings was so merry that we must not indulge in hypercritical re- marks. Ainslic's, on the other hand, was almost outirely a defensive innings, for he hit only four 4's as against Strong's thirteen. Sawyer's fielding was noticeably good, though there was not much fault to be found with the fielding all round, and it is a great pleasure to note an improvement in that important and fascinating department of the game. Next Saturday the Club will meet the L R.C. and on Saturday. November 17th, it is expected that the Garrison will play the Club,

Baker (22nd Bombay Infantry), J. F. Noble, A. Rutherford, and H. M. Strong (R. M. L. I.). Referee, H. W. Slado. Whites kicked off, and sent the ball well away. It was captured by the Reds, however, who carried it right inside their opponents de- fence. Anderson's shooting was wild, though, and Lowe had a free kick. A splendid run down the field by Noble was stopped almost at goal by Looker, who headed cleverly. The ball was carried back again, but Looker again defended, and a bye resulted. Lowe's left wing displayed somo pretty combined play, but Jenkins and Kew were on the alert, and getting on to the ball. sent it well into mid-field. Lowe was again called on to look after his charge and saved cleverly. The ball was captured by McMurtrio, who, evading Johnston and Hay, sent the ball home, and scored the first goal. of the match just as the half time whistle was blown.

On the ball being again centred it was carried well away by the Reds forwards, who wore evidently resolved to improve their score. Anderson kicked rashly,
од
howover, and a dead ball resulted. Certain players on both sides displayed on several oc- casions too great an eagerness to get rid of the ball, and at other times hung on to it altogether too long Numerous chances were lost in this way. Shortly before time, Noble equalised for his side. Securing the ball, he evaded the half-backs and backs, and sent it into the not.
The game thus ended in a draw-one goal each.
