It is not certain whether H. B. Oller dessen and J. A. Quayle will be able to get away. B. W. Duthoit will accompany the team as manager and scorer, and C. F. Syms as empire.

In the bowling line, there are Allison, Divecha, Isaacs, Leach and O'Hara, with the last-named three, on the "season's performances, likely to be called upon to bear the brunt of the attack. It is pos- sible that the eleventh man will also be a bowler, in which case the Shanghai team should have nothing to fear from à comparison with Hongkong in that re
