Slow Scoring In The Interport
TEDDY FINCHER SCORES 81: MINU & PEREIRA IN MERRY MOOD
"Excellent weather favoured the Hong Kong-Shanghai cricketers for their interport match which commenced on Saturday morning, and after winning the toss, Harry Owen Hughes, the Colony skipper, not unnaturally elect ed to bat on what appeared, to be a hard wicket.

The feature of the day's play was a stolid innings by "Teddy Fincher who stayed at the wickets for *208. minutes to score 81 runs. It was a very patient knock and on the whole cricket was slow until A. R. Minu went in and had a short but merry innings, hitting everything that was sent down to him to get 20 runs in 22 minutes and at one stage he had three fours and a single off suc- ressive balls. His club mate, Frank Pereira, also had a merry time, getting 14 rapidly, but those were. among the few bright moments during a day of what may he termed dull play.'

"A regular holiday crowi filled the public stands.
In the course of the while many more lined the rails. afternoon, when play was painfully slow, one enthusiast from the public stand started some good natured chaffing and this soon caught on, though the barracking" was nothing like that which one hears Down Under.
When stumps were drawn, Hong Kong were 232. for 9 wickets, Ernie Fincher and Dunkley being the not They will resume, the Hong Kong innings this morning.

HONG KONG WIN TOSS. There was a big crowd present when Owen Hughes went out to toss with Donald Leach, and the smile he wore as they returned to the Pavilion showed that the Hong Kong skipper had won the toss. As was only to be expected, he elected to bat and seat "Teddy Fincher and A. W. Hayward to open the innings for Hong Kong..
The wicket appeared to be in excellent condition, but on the hard side and after a little wear the ball began to come up awk- wardly.
Torry found a better length in his second over, and making the ball come off very fast, he was,
dificult to rather
get away, though Hayward put him to Simp- son at third man for a single. The same batsman scored another single in the next over off Isaacs when he brought off a very fine leg glance. Then Wilson bowled another

Fincher took a single of the third ball from Jenkins, and of the next one, Peter Williams hooked him very neatly to the tram lines boundary to reach his ten in eight minutes and also send the forty up in 53 minutes. His success was short-lived for in the next over he stepped in front of one from Lesch and the bowler's appeal for obstruction was upheld 42-3-11, and play had been in progress for 55 minutes Williams took ten minutes to get his runs..

Facing Leach once again, Fin- cher patted the ball slowly to cover-point and the batsmen ran a sharp single and Owen Hughes- played the rest of the over without adding to the score.
