THE HONGKONG, DAILY PRESS,
Daually about this time im trials form seerty to go, wrong and upset things, But Saturday's cricket has only made things easier. Evans seems to have ru- |tablished a claim to inclusion by his ex- cellent howling. Stapleton also has claims to be considered on his last three innings. A very general comment being made at present is that for the last four matches Probable sides itve met Pos- isibles; therefore, all our best batsmen have not had to play Davies and Reid. But after all the authorities are, exper ienced cricketers and things eng safely be left to them.

He had played adelightful innings marred only by a chance to de Rome at and lip when he was in the forties.

The final of the open Singles Champion ship of the Colony was played at the Kowloon Bowling Green Club on Satur day before & fairly large gathering of interested spectators, the contestants being R. C. Wallace (Taikoo) and W. Gerard (Police).
For the first half of the match play was very even but after that Wallace gradually went ahead and finally won by 21 shots to 11.
Gerrard opened well and held the lend for the first five heads At the eighth head, Wallace, who was playing. very steadily, scored foar, the splendid effort being greeted with much applause, Playing towards the Kowloon Cricket Club Ground, Gerrard was inclined to be
teo narrow.
Both players are well known in the Colony and took part in the recent Bowls Interport matches at Shanghai.
Messrs W. Russell and D. Harvey cap ahly carried out, the duties of umpire and scorer respectively.

Dr. C. Forsyth, at the conclusion of the príze distribution, thanked the Committee for asking Mrs. Forsyth to present the prizes. They had had a very enjoyable afternoon's sport and judging from the afternoon's tennis he hoped to see their champion 3. W. Hyde well to the run- ning for the open event of the Colony next season. After congratulating the Club on their success in winning both divisions the Cricket League, Dr. Forsyth went on to speak of the new ground which had been allotted to the Club in King's Park. When the ground was com- pleted he hoped to see all the future inter port cricket matches of the Colony play- ed there With such a ground the Club would easily become the premier sporting club of the Colosy (Applause).-Ho hoped to see this happen within the next few years.
