CRICKET NOTES.
SUNSHINE FOR ONCE.
After a month or even more of perfectly abominable weather the elements relented last Saturday and the afternoon was really quits a good day for cricket. The sun shone, and one could remain reason ably warm with only one sweater! Truo, we have fallen back since then, but let it be recorded that last Saturday was the second decent day which we have experienced in
1930.

JAPANESE EXHIBITION
TO-DAY.
LOCAL INTEREST.
Great interest is being centred an the exhibition matches on the Hong Kong Cricket Club courts to-day in which Harada and Satoh are featuring.
The two famous expects are due to arrive in port this morning by the .. Hakusan Maru. Their visit has been looked forward to and bids fair to be a source of attraction to followers of the game. Despite the inconvenient time for the booking of seats, at the time of writing over two hundred tickets have already been sold.
The exhibitions start at 3 p.m., and the selected local representa tives are M. W, Lo, T. Honda and the Rumjahn cousins (H, D. and S. A.).
The League. After my remarks about the Craigengewer batting laat week, it was interesting to see that they collapsed hopelessly against Eow loop last Saturday and were all out for fifty-nine. Had they batted first against C.S.CO. I fancy a very different tale would have been told, But-Quem Deus vult perdere."' Frank Goodwin was crocked, but Ross and Brace rolled them out.

Í Lee failed apparently to produce. any of his previous form, but he was only on for five overs, and 1 fancy (though I did not see the gume) that once the game was fost. Omar and Lee retired to try out other bowlers who were not particularly successful.
Another Draw.
The Civil Service, are undoubtedly the Jonah's of the Senior Division. only they do not come up again! Things went very wrong for them Jast Saturday Naturally no Civil Servant could contemplate, with equanimity, the prospects of three days holiday on end! The result was that some of the chits never came to hand, and G, R. Sayer was absent from their side. They did quite well to get the IR.C. out for 164. Buna came fairly fast from thirty to eighty odd, but, had it not been for a fine bit of defending by O. Ismail, after good work by AH. Madar, A. A. Rumjahn, and A. R. Minu, the Indians would have been out very much cheaper. Reed and Hamilton could keep the runs down but they could not get the wiaketa, while the others (bar Strange!) were on the expensive side.
In the meantime much excitement prevails locally over their visit. Their compatriots are undoubtedly elated, and are expected to turn out en blve to see them in action.
In view of Hong Kong's good during November performances against the French and Shanghai players, & good deal of confidence is being placed in the Hong Kong players.”“

There were several very interesting gallops yesterday morning at the course, the whole of the Jardine string being tried out, their times being given below. The Goods, one, of their bost animals "galloped in company with Ctmas Chimes, and the two ponies finished together fall of fight. If anything, the griffin was the stronger of the two.
The other stables to gallop were Mr. Ho Kom Tong's and Mr." Chan Tin Sion's. The former galloped Marquia, Victory, and Ear- press Hall, three of his Derby ponies, and the latter Wisdom, Witty and Windsor Stag. The times will be found below.
All gallops were on the sand.course, and although there was a slight drizzle, the going was by no means heary,

There will also be a match be- tweca the Club de Recreio and the Hong Kong Ladies' Hockey Chub ad XI on the Y.M.C.A. ground at King's Park, commencing at 3. p.m. The teams are as follows-
When the C.5. hatted De Rome. and Richardson made a good start, and McDougall showed more run- gotting ability than he has hereto fore produced. Had Sayer been thero-but see Lycidas passim Anyway, it wa down the swift Hebrus to the Lesbian shore" for the Civil Service, as they had not the run-getting batsmen to pull off the required number of runs in the time.. It was a most interesting game and I must compliment A. A. Rumjahn on his extremely sporting action in taking off his fast bowler and going on with slows himself, while directing Madar, to bowl alows during the last few overs of the
Hong Kong Ladies: G. E. Little, game. The light was very bad but Ruseell, F. Stevenson, J. L. his courteous and sporting action Whyte, F. Webber, A. E. Steele, gave the CS. the chance to avoid B. Laing, E. Blackburn, E. Donelan appealing against the light. A draw A. N. Other, A. Stoel. was a fair decision, but I think that with Sayer 0.8.0.0. would have won, though it must be stated that the substitutes which the 1.R.C. lent the C.S. for most of the inaings were very fine fielders indeed!
A Point of Law,
I shall be greatly interested to know if the H.K.C.C. had the League's permission to play Beck for their second eleven. My col- league L.B.W. has referred to this. There is no doubt that Beek is one of the first few choices for the Club Second eleven, and, while he was not bowled, he made a big score. "It is recognised that the top, mun in a second eleven may play for the first without prejudice to their statue as Second League players. But for a regular member of the first to turn out in a Second League match is, I think, a bad precedent, when he is an all-rounder like Beck. I know Holdman and Kelly of the C.S.C.C. once played for the second but Holdman did not keep, and Kelly did not bowl, while neither are bats of Beck's class. I do not for a moment imply that, the Club intended to take any unfair advan- tage, and have no doubt that the University agreed. But I think that we should stick to rúles as far as possible, even if it means playing one short.

PRAGUE, JOAL 26. The Press of all partien-even in- cluding the Socialist newspapers is scething with indignation against the British Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, Mr. Philip Snowden, for the statement he is alleged to have made at The Hague that the de legates of the small mid-European Powers ought to be locked up in one room, and given nothing to eat or drink, till they became feason-
able."

ENGLISHMAN'S HUNGER

John Sydney Harle, an English Paris last July on a charge of hav arrested in ex-soldier, who waa

rotest against the delay in bring-
him to trial.
Harle has been in the Santo Pri-' son for nearly six months. The authorities account for the delay by stating that the French law re- quires exhaustive investigations be fore a prisoner is brought to trial. They also point out that Harle has had to be subjected to mental
testa.
Since be has begun to refuse food, Harle has been removed, on the in- structions of the prison doctor, to the prison hospital at Freanes,
where he will be forcibly fed.

Bluntly, the testimonial to ME Wall, the executive official of the Football Association for 35 years, is a disappointment to the pro- moters, who were outside the pale
of officialdom:
It is not necessary to enlarge
upon the ability, the tact, the courtesy and the dignity of Mfr. Wail. He has had a difficult task from 1994 to the present hour many masters to please and some- times to appease the public and to deal with critics within and without the game. That he has done his duty without lear or favour need rot be pressed home. His tenure of office is the reply to people whose opinioce take rise in feelings which had best not be described.
When the promoters of the testi- monial set the movement on foot they asked for recognition from the This was not given.. The parent association took the attitude that it was not their concern. I helieve that the Council did not pass a resolution. The Council re mained neutral, It was as if the testimonial was not their business.

Among the more ordinary ques- tions, the workman is expected to zay whether the house he lives in is lighted by goa or electricity; whether he employs a charwoman or a laundress; whether he beats his room in winter or not; and whether he goes to work on foot or by tram.

A salary, handsome though it might be, could not remunerate any man who gave the prime of his years to the discharge of "duties." There are many wise acts which cannot be classified as "duties."
Yet the Association decided that the subject was not one in which they were interested. The question is: Could such an attitude be con- strued as neutral The inference in that their approval was withheld:
