Eleven Probables meet a team of thir- teen Possibles on Saturday, Hancock and Wood captaining the two sides. It was perfect cricket weather, and the wicket was fast and fairly true until the last three-quarters of an hour, when it began to crumble a little

The Possibles won the toss; and Ste- with Ramay opened to Evaus, Naval Yard end. and Hargreaves Ramsay was soon: bowled playing back to the latter and after Matthews, who. succeeded, had played one or two nice shots, he cut a rising one from Evans square and was relf well taken by Har greaves it backward point. 31.845. Kent came in while "Stewart played some nice ahots, one leg glance in particular being excellent. Here a rather unusual iu- cident occurred. Evans bowd a fast yorker to Kent and beat him with it.

The bails had fallen forward and Some people thought the ball had gianeed back from the wicket-keeper. It really looked very like it, though the fact that the ball remained between Stripp's pads seems fairly conclusive, On an appeal being made the bowler's, umpire referred it to the square leg umpire, who gave the batsman the benefit of the doubt.

think now that Kent was out, but I did not until i heard where the ball finished.
This, in common with quite a lot of the cricket, could not be seen from the score box, which is probably the most idiotic contrivance in the Far East Two can barely sit abreast and even then their view is marred by uprights, while at the back, where, it is no earthly use. there is room to house a platoon. I hope that better arrangements will be made for the Enterport. A space must be rail- ed off from the roof and kept for the secrers and the Press]

CHINA GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP/
{TUROCOR · REUTER'S AGENCY.] FERRIER BECOMES AMATEUR CHAMPION.
SHGHAI, November ist,
W13.
The first Open Apateur Golf Champion- won by Ferrier of ship of China Shanghai, whose total for 72 holes was 308 Badd (Shanghai) was second with 38, and Pilcher (Shanghai) third with 311.
14
-Ferguson of Hongkong was fourth with 313, and West of Shanghai ffth with 317.. Following them were Akaboshi, Japan, 315 Shewau, Hongkong, 224 Harrison, Shanghai, 923; Cumming, Shanghai, age; Colam. Shanghai, 331: Peebles, Shang- hai, 3332: and Otani, Japan, 333
The low score for a single round in the Phampionship was achieved jointly by Ferguson and. Shewan, both returning 73 in their Sunday morning rounds... Neither a of these players was consistent, both doing rounds in the low seventies; and then jumping into the eighties. Both won special prize of two boxes of balla offered for the best single round.
All the other Hongkong players with- drew after the second round, preferring to play foursomes with Shanghai friends The Championship was regarded as a big success, and it is believed that subsequent meetings will attract a much larger attendance.
{
Ferguson (Hongkong) led at the end of the first eighteen holes for the Chumpian- ship with 70. He weakened in the second round, however, scoring $3.
Badd (Shanghai) was leading at the end of the first day's play with 1bi. Fer- guson was third with 138.
No other Hongkong player was in the Arst dozen. Shewan showed disgust when he took nine strokes at the third hole, spoiling his chances.
The wind eansed high searing.

Powell by this time was on at the Naval Yard end and Webster soon went on at the other end. Mitchell played some gool shots, but he was twice beaten by Powell and then put one up to mid-on, which was badly misjudged by Har greaves, who ran in at first only to have the ball drop behind him. Bowkér, alter- nately cover and square leg on the Queen's Road side, was fielding excel- lently and saved a lot of singles. The cricket was very slow for some time, Krut late cut Webeter very nicely, but next over he chopped down a bit late on one of Powell's and played on. Quick relieved Webster, and Mitchell hit him square to left for four. but was then caught at the wicket on the leg sido Wood next over trying to turn one. tried to on drive Quick out of the ground but failed to carry the long-field, Evans, who made no mistake.
Young came in and proceeded to treat the bowling as if it was very simple stuff and perhaps it was while he was soon joined the Omar, when a fine part nership ensued.
Young really played
some beautiful shots, although he is not credited with much batting ability as a rule, and completed his fifty amid load applause. When Hargreaves bowled him round his legs he had scored 54, of which 44 runs were boundary hits. Omar got four fours and two sixes in his 33 not out; the last six was a beautiful off drive clear over the railings. These two bats. men made an excellent stand and showed the brightest if not the most · correct cricket we have seen yet. A big heart is very often worth more than a polished style.

Hamilton relieved Young and got Quick 1.b.w. in his second over, while two balls Inter be got Bowker nicely caught at the wicket by Holdman. Pendered bowled at over off which one run was scored, And then Evens was caught at mid-off from the first ball of Hamilton's next over. Thus 5 wickets fell for 3 runs in 6 overs and one ball. Thereafter, however, Hargreaves and Stripp held their wickets up until time was called. The former made two very nice cracks for four past extra cover..

MORE PLAYING FIELDS - NEEDED IN HONGKONG..
.ALSO A CHILDREN'S PLAY
GROUND,
A writer in this month. t. John's Cathedral Notes, saya:-
"In izst month's issue of Cathedruk Nates a correspondent directed our at tention to the lamentable lack of suitable playing felds for the children of the Colony. The writer suggested that if the military sites were acquired by the Cov ernment, this would provide an, unique opportunity of giving a piceé of this Ind as a children's playground.
Welfare Scheme
"We feel inniediately in sympathy with the views of our correspondent. It is për- haps well-known that in all modern Lown planding scheines in England, a promin ent place is given to the provision of play- ing fields for the young. Quite recently under the Sankey award, the "Miacrs was inaugurated, and it is significant that the miners' repre- sentatives have devoted large sums of money for this very "purpose.. In a recent conversation with the Secretary of the Schools' Football Association here we Flearned that there is but one football ground at Causeway Bay-which has to be shared by seven large schools. The football committee has reluctantly to overlook the claims of many other schools which have to playing fields at all.
"The diffenities in the way of provid- ing land for sports' purposes in Hong- kong are almost insuperable, But in many ways the Government has triumph- ed over the seemingly impossible, and given a welcome lead to various public- spirited enterprises. We trust and hope. when the Government is petitioned on this matter by the Institutions and in- dividuals who have this need at heart, that it will give it the generous considera- tion it undoubtedly deserves."
