Services Fight" Hard. The continuation of the match between the United Services and Shanghai Sunday afternoon furnished a result that. was not entirely unexpected as a result of the play on Saturday afternoon, Shanghai claiming the verdict, by 50 runs. The Services carried their overnight score of 59 to 120, thanks to a good knock by Melsome, and thus just managed to avoid the follow on. O'Hara well deserved the final figures. The batting of Mansel-Smith was the feature of Shanghai's second innings, which was declared dosed when 139 had been registered for the loss of only 3 wickets, and although the Services had 2 hours and 20 minutes in which to accomplish the task of getting 238 runs required for victory, at no time did their batsmen suggest they were capable of doing so.

There are 40 old players here, in- cluding women. Among them is Miss Violet Temple, now aged 70, who nearly 50 years ago was wear- ing her hair in what looked like an Eton crop. She said:-
I wore my hair short because I often played boys' parts, and be- cause when I played Jane Shore I wore a wig with very long hair. I was born in New York, and came to England in a sailing vessel.
