The Chinese suffered a severe reverse at the hands of the R.G.A. on Saturday, when they were defeated by the B.G.A., on their own ground by 125 runs. The home side were all out for 30 against the Garrison's 155.
The C.B.C. had the first knock but were unable to withstand the bowling of Davies and Grabam. The first, wicket fell at 10 and the sixth at 95, whilst the last three wickets fell after another five had been added.
Davies created what must be almost a record in Hongkong cricket by taking seven wickets for five runs, three of which were taken in one ever. Ho bid very bard luck in not performing the bit trick Another remarkable feature about his bowling was that ive of his seven overs were maidens. An any rate so far as this season's Hongkong ericket is concerned it is a record. Scores:-
