OWEN-HUGHES TO CAPTAIN HONG KONG
Interport Team Against Malaya Chosen
A GOOD ALL-ROUND ELEVEN
(BY L. B. W.
The Selection Committee for the interpore cricket team held a meeting last evening and after over an hour's deliberations, it was announced that the following have been chosen to represent Hong Kong in the interport. match against Malayu which is due to start on Monday, November 6..
seven
H. Owen Hughes (H.K.C.C.) Captain,
G. S. Dunkley (H.K.C.C.),
T. Redmond (H.K.C.C.).
T. A Pearce (H.K.C.C.),
E. R. Duckitt (H.K.C.C.),"
Capt. Williams (Army),
Lieut. Hamilton (Army), Lt. Garthwaite (Army), E. C. Fincher (Kowloon), F. Goodwin Kowloon), and A. R. Minu (Indians).
A. f. Minu will very probably open the attack with Goodwin. He is perhaps the best left-hand bowler we have had since the days of the redoutable R. E. O. Bird, and while he is not up to the standard of the old master, he is a positively dangerous bowler when he gets an early wicket.

As events. proved they were right Tsul did not turn up and the Lo Brothers Alled the breach.
The exhibition started with a doubles match between Hui and M. K. Lo and Luk Ting Cheung and Wong Slu Wing. From the start the Chinese Champion was. In form, but M. K. Lo did not play up to form at the beginning. Luk was also playing well but in a few "personal" duels with Hui he had
