CRICKET NOTES.
News from the land of our friends the enemy in Shanghai may be welcome down here, even at, a time when the idea of a long day in the field makes one gasp with horror, and put another lump of ico in the faithful whisky and soda that stands so ready to our hands My during our hours of case.
an experienced ecrrespondent in cricketer, and he found the wicket up in Shanghai a good deal more to his taste than ours. He describ ed it na "looking as good as Lord's at its best, and though a bit slow, it did not pop it all."
The Difference of wickets. Of course, this difference always has existed, and I fear always will. It is rather an advantage to Hong Kong on the whole as it is easier to change from a dificult to an easy wicket than from an easy to a dif Bicult one. And while "down here the wicket is usually a rather dif ficult one, I believe I am correct in saying that the Shanghai wicket is usually on the easy side.. A good dent is going to depend on this new grass we have put down. I under stand it is very excellent turf, but we were unable to obtain enough to complete the whole square to the breadth required: so some bright i and brainy individual-I don't know who it is, but I have my suspicions

Both clubs lost earlier in the season, to the Hang Keng Cricket Club, and thus drop; ped a point, so that either would At Northampton, Northants debe out of the running for the fented Kent by ten wickets.

The Ever-green Doctor.
I trust, by the way, my cross head is not libellous, but I know Bill O'Hara would prefer it to the Veteran." I learn that the general opinion up there is that be will be a bit better than Wales. Of course, Bill isn't getting ang younger while added years will bring Wales the experience he needs. But I confess to being a bit doubtful how he will do on the wicket there, where there is so nice dark tree behind the screen into which to flight the ball. I was told by one of thear people who have played in both ports that it will make a lot of difference if Wales. joins the Machine Gun Company or not! The iden is that if not, he will be coming up against Leach a lot and my critic thought Donald would knock him right off every time they met. I am not quite in attre as he is, but it is possible. It will be rather interesting if Wales duri come down for Shanghai, as one must remember that Hayward. Pearce, Hancock and Owen Hughes practically never come up against him as they play in the same team, though, of course, they have fielded to him a tremendous lot, or kept On the other hand, though no Polished bat the Doctor can get lot of runs and his 00 odd in the last match up there robbed us of what looked a sure victory.

There are several names in my correspondents list which are new. to me at all events. I believe the Shanghai critics think very highly of F. E. T. Marshall, who is a young right-hand bat with a very powerful game on the off and in back strokes, but a bit, weak on the leg aide. He fields well. O. G. Simpson too, is much thought of.
