But this is, of course, mere conjecture, The fact that clearly emerges is that it is going to be a pretty busy fortnight. The idea is, I believe, that the Straits and the Shanghat teams shall each play three, matches, -(s) against the Colony; (b) against the Hong Kong United Services eleven; and (c) against each other. That totals up to five matches, and if they are confined to two days apiece this alone means ten full days cricket. It has, how ever, been the custom for many years (there is only one draw in the records), for the actual later port matches as opposed to the Services' matches, to be played to a finish. This alone might mean nine days cricket, given fine wea ther. However, I do not anticipate that the Interport will be likely to go over more than two days apiece, As, down on the Hong Kong wicket at any rate, they tend more and more to turn out. low-scoring ea be included a match Colony versus Hong Kong United Services is not settled.

THERE HAVE BEEN POLITICAL DEVELOP.
MENTS OF CONSIDERABLE IMPORT- ANCE IN SOUTH "CHINA DURING THE PAST WEEK.
General Chang Fat-fui, with his
army of "Ironsides," has returned from Central China and for a few days rumours were current that he would endeavour to secure control of Kwangtung.
Fortunately the rumours proved unfounded. General Li Tsai-hsin, the present military leader and General Chang Fat-füi have reached
a friendly agreement to work together to maintain law and order in Kwangtung and Kwangsi
If this agreement is lasting there seems some
prospect of peace in South China.
A marauding "Red" army has swooped down on Swatow and for a few days that City has been in the bands of a rabble who have been guilty of looting and murder.
It is unlikely that the "Reds" will remain for long in undisputed possession. But the fact that they are powerful enough to take the City and• hold it for a short time only demonstrates the need of a strong military Government..
