TRIANGULAR INTERPORT
TOURNAMENT.
Forecast Of The Hong Kong Team
AND SOME NOTES ON THE PLAYERS
L. B. W.'')
Two very strong sides have been picked for to-morrow's final inter- port trial, and Judging from the form shown at the two previous trials, it does not seem dificult to make a guess as to which will be the eventual team selected to do duty for Hong Kong in the tnterports against Shanghai and Malaya
Instead of writing any notes on the first two trials, I will confine myself this week to a forecast of the final selections, and will briefly
analyse each player's claim:
My selections would be
A. W. Hayward (Captain),
H Owen Hughes,
E. C. Fincher.
T.. A. Pearce,
P. V. Williams,
A. R. Minu,
F. D. Pereira,
C. G Garthwalte,
E. R. Duckitz,
A. C. Hamilton, and
G. S. Dunkley.
The Captain.

winning his first interport cup in 1931, Frank Pereira has proven to be one of the most consistent fast bowlers in the Colony, and although he failed to take a wicket against Shanghai in his Arst up- pearance against them, it must be taken into consideration that the wicket on that occasion was more suited to a slow bowler.
Pereira is one of those bowlers who makes no pretence at being a batsman as well, and it is per- naps the fact that he plays his natural game of hitting, no matter how things are going, that he has been one of the most consistent scorers for the Indian Recreation

Harry Owen Hughes has more than once been described as the man for the big occasion, and what is more, he has ved up to that reputation. His weakness is that he gets wickets in Shanghal, but even here, he is a more than use- ful change powler. Coming down from his great height round the wicket (left hand), his deliveries are rather deceptive. So far as his batting is concerned, Owen Hughes is one of cur most danger- ous batsman, once he gets going. "while is a slip felder, he has no

Before I conclude these notes. I want to touch upon the subject of "Hong Kong Cricket Club ground. Many things have been written, and more things have been said," about the bad state of the ground." and that it is posi- tively dangerous to play on it.
It would perhaps be better. I think, to pause and think a little before making such a sweeping statement: It is a well-known fact that we have had a very dry summer, and with our reservoirs
