GREAT VICTORY FOR HONG KONG,
SPLENDID LAST WICKET STAND BY BOWKER AND WYATT.
SHANGHAI COLLAPSE.
THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1929.
Heng Keng won the Interport against Shanghai by 82 runs. Bowker and Colonel Wyatt put up a capital last wicket stand and the visitors were got with 204 to get to win.
Shanghai would have gone in fresh to make about 130 yesterday. As it was, though we lost a couple of wickets early Wyatt and Bowker with bull-dog tenacity hung on and added fifty runs, not by fluky slog ging but good solid cricket, And those filty were worth a hundred and fifty at least. Not only did they tire the visitors who had" had five days strenuous cricket before, but they depressed their morale and correspondingly put up the tails of the Hong Kong eleven."
They went into the field a win- ning team. Their fielding was hundred per cent, better than in the first innings and Wyatt, Braco and Owen Hughes took brilliant catches. The latter fieldsinan was at full length in the air when he took his catch and held on to it when ho hit the ground! The bowling was excellent, and the wickets Fell steadily.

I rather think the bowler O'Hara had one in the same place a ball or twe later. It is a pity we cannot get that hole in our delenes fixed up. Then, when things looked a bit ominous, the visitors had an abominable stroke of luck as O'Hara in-going after an off ball of Reid's strained the muscle that had gone the day before.
