CRICKET NOTES.
INTERPORT PROGRESS,
it
The construction of our Interport team for May next proceeding slowly but steadily, My interna. tion at the time of writing these Dotes is that the only additional invitation, which has been issued, is one to A. C. Beck of the A.P.C. In view of the fact that A. C. I. Bowker definitely cannot make the trip, there is no doubt that Beck is clearly indicated as the speed mer- chant of the side." He has been dead out of luck lately and has got neither wickets nor runs, but everyone has these patches. On paper, on Saturday Inst, he' was bowling badly, but I hear he had abominable fuck with snicks, while everything but half volleys and full tosses got up over the wicket. I incline to think that, if he can keep his length, he will be very much more effective at Shanghai where, as a rule, the ball does not often got up over stump high. As a left hand bat he will be useful. With Reid also a left-hander, there is quite a good chance of getting the Shanghai bowling hot and bother ed. I am sure Beck can get runs, and should like to see him go ia a
bit higher up the list, so that he can take his time a bit and play himself in.
Absenteas..
Bowker's absence will be most seriously felt, as he is castly our most dangerous bowler on big occasions, while his fielding is bril liant Aud, apart from the runs he saves in the fold, he has a knack of getting them from the bat on important occasions, so wit

E. C. FINCHER TRIUMPHS.
