SHANGHAI
EXCITING MATCH ENDS, IN A DRAW.
FINE INNINGS BY CAPTAIN BRIDGELAND.
A
The close of play on Thursday in no way suggested that a close finish was possible, or indeed that any finish other than win for Shanghai could be ex- pected. The indefatigable Isaacs played another of his cheerful thirties while O'Hara got a acore. No one else did any thing much and after rather 'more than an hour's play the Shanghai innings closed for exactly double the total made by the Services. The catching of the latter team was a good deal at fault and Dobbie was the bowler who came in for most of the bad joas. As it was, for 93 was a very fine performance but he would have had far better figures had all the chances been held.
+
At about 11.50 Hussey and Armitage went in to face a deficit of 134, and from the start batted much more confidently than anything that had been done in the first innings Armitage put Isanes to long leg with a beautiful glide of the first ball and twenty went up on the board, as a result of ine six, a straight fowish drive from the same player Then Hussey lashed out at one from Manal Smith and skied it between, mid-off and cover. O'Hara and Stokes both went for it but the former's name was called and he refused to be worried, taking a very fine catch that many fields men would have put down. With Bridge. land in Armitage continued to play ex- cellent cricket until be mistimed a book of a loose one from Isaacs and was taken at mid-on. A couple of dis asters followed. Cantrell had strain- ed his leg early in the forenoon in catch- ing O'Hara, and never settled down, Morris who followed was using a strange bat. However, he got near enough to his first ball to touch it to Barnes at the wicket-who monde no mistake.
Dobbie and Bridgeland then put, a brighter complexion on the game and after Dobbie had been bowled by Isaacs, Lightfoot carried on the good work until he was most unfortunately run out. His partner hit the ball back hard, and the ball shot off the bowler's hand on to the wicket. Lightfoot was (very properly) backing up, and was cut. Sturgess and Venn played useful knocks and finally got the score to 210, but the chief honours remained with Bridgeland. He played a fine innings and gave no actual chance that I saw, though he has a lot of uppish shots that never seem to go to band.
This was a very excellent recovery, and I think it probable that it was largely due to the comparative innocuousness of O'Hara and Leach. Both of these bowlers | had bowled well nigh twenty overs (or sometimes more) on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. To-day I think they were dead tired and stale and it shows where the main strength of the attack lies. The Shanghai Belding was very good. However, all this does not detract from the fact that Bridgeland played. a jolly good knock and the Services would have been in the cart without him.
Left with an hour and a quarter to get 77 Shanghai' might well have got the runs save for fine bowling performe ance by Cantrell and Dobbie, and, I hear, rather a tendency after the first half hour to avoid risking the game. To us, on our ground 77, in an hour and A quarter is no phenomenal rate of scoring-in fact on the whole it is re. garded as fairly easy meat up to five p.m. Apparently the orders to Leach and Burn were to go slow for the first half hour, and put up 20 or so, and then go for it Leach, however,“ failed, Burn" was out in trying to force the pace and none of the other batsmen tried to force the pace at all Cahtrull and Dobbie were bowling a fine length and Isaacs for once failed to come off: I should have mentioned that the batting order had been changed to speed up- Divecha being removed. ta: No. 9. Disaster fell upon Shanghai, when Dr. Morris was run out when Barrett called him for one of his favourite short runs. In the end Shanghai very nearly lost." Had Dobbie not gone for a difficult catch and bowl from Barrett, the ball would have gone casily to Col. Cantreli at mid-off and the Services might bara won. It is, however, very hard to judge these things when half off one's balance after delivering the ball
About five, the dusk began to fall and the umpires decided that the light "was

TO-DAY'S MATCHES.
The following is the list of matches
To-day Shanghai play Kowloon at Kow- loon starting at 10,30. I have not the full Kowloon team but one will watch Mitchell's form against them with much interest-also Teddy Fincher's. As far as I know besides these cricketers for to-day: C. Lyal (captain), E. F. Fincher, Good- win, Ramsey and Jex are playing. »I believe Captain Morris will turn out again but whether Brace will play or not I don't know as I hear he is ill Rotten luck if so. The sid is pretty weak in bowling so far and I suppose. the other twu will be trundlers but I regret I have no definits information. The game should be bright and full of interest.
