ENGLAND XI. FACE
BODY-LINE
Bowling Controversy Reopened
Manchester, July 25.
The 18,000 spectators at the Test Match here to-day saw body. line bowling after the manner practised by Larwood in Australia. What they thought I do not know, but I shall be surprised if they give it their approval, writes Mr. P. F. Warner in the Landon Daily Telegraph.
Hammond was hit on the jaw. but he retired only temporarily, though later he had to have two stitches in the wound. England had to contend with a form of attack which has produced a great controversy, and I am sorry the West Indies had recourse to it.
They did not use it in the Test Match at Lord's, and' apart from any question of ethics, this form of bowling made the game very dull What happened will bring, the question more acutely than ever to the front, for until to-day very few Englishmen had seen this bowling. They had confused it with leg-theory.
After teb we saw an exact re- plica of Larwood's setting of his field in Australia, five men being in a semi-circle close in on the leg side to Martindale. But Jar dine, who was batting very well indeed, plays the rising ball on the body better than anyone else.

SHAMSHUIPO CAMP
REMINDER OF THE TROUBLED
TIMES OF 1926
(By our Special Correspondent).
"Shamshulpo Camp" may sound ke just an ordinary "camp" to those not familiar with the name, and it is for their information that I am writing this article. It is the opinion of many people that al-1
consists of though the place wooden sheds, they are perhaps barracks in that they are out in the most delightful of the Colony's the open, far away from the dust, smoke and noise of the city.

The history of Shamshulpo Camp is in itself interesting for it brings back memories" of those troubles days in Shanghai in 1926; when ever the peace of the Inter- national Settlement was gravely threatened. That, of course, is now recorded in the pages of the long and eventful history of China, and as even those who have never been out East must have heard ог read of those days, there

accommodation was needed and then came the idea of erecting camp in Shamshuipo.
Building operations on the Camp were commenced in the latter part of 1926, but so much work was entalled in this extensive scheme that it was not till early in 1927 that the huts, were completed and passed as "ready for habitation."
As far as my memory goes, the first regiment stationed in Sham- shulpo were the Coldstreamguards, I am pretty certain about this bub if I should be mistaken, I stand corrected. Then came the Queen's, and, after the Queen's left, the Somersets took their place and they in turn were followed by the Argylls. There is hardly any need to say that the Argylls were · re-. placed by the Lincolns, who, wil be there for about three years.
So far as the Camp itself is concerned, the sheds are all made of wood-except for brickwork foundations. There is, if neces- sary, sufficient accommodation for two battalions, that is, 1,800 om- cers and men, and quite contrary. to common belief, the sheds aro very comfortable places to live in. There is of course, s parade ground, where the men are put through their paces, and spart from this, there are tennis courts and an open air boxing ring, and the problem of appropriate a bamboo pler running out onto followed by a short bouncer.
