THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TMm, 19 '3
The Cricket Greend to-day, will be the sceno of a very important match in view of the seleo. tion of the Interport team. In fact the game may be looked upon as probably deciding the side, after which the explain (who is to be chosen by the foun) will have his opportunity of placing his men in the field in the positions which they will occupy at Shanghai, and of sanding them in to bat in the proper order of going in for the coming, context. There, is vory Bittle time now remaining before the appointed loader in which to exercise his captainship of the XI. Therefore it is of the utmost importance that the prowlest and striotest attention be given to his every order. A lazy or indifferent fielder bag a dea ralising effect on the rest of the team, as is especially noticeably in Kiongkong cricket. Ia prespect of the reeming difficulty the selection com- mitton have in choosing the last two men (for alas names are practically certain), attention and kenness in fielding will doubtless do unch to justify a man's selection.

Being that the Shanghai men visited Kobe two or three years ago, and that invitations have boon twice sent to Yokohama and Koks to return the visit, it is rather a pity that the invitation cannot be accepted. Hongkong, it may be noted, has accepted the invitation, and an effort în being made to get together a strong team. But of course, with the representatives of the Army and Nasy to draw upon, the difficulties of getting a good team for such a visit are not na great as in Japan."
