SHANGHAI TEAM BEATEN BUT NOT DISGRACED
SPARKLING CRICKET BY
S. ISAACS
Alec Pearce Takes Six
Wickets
FINE INNINGS BY STOKES
Shanghai made a gallant but unavailing effort to get the required runs when they were set 350 for a win in the interport match against Hong Kong and were defeat- ed by 117 runs. They were not, however, by any means disgraced, in fact they should be congratulated for the sporting way they went about their task. Although they knew they had a stupendous job ahead of them, they went for the runs in real Shanghai style and collected 232 runs in just under 210 minutes.
The feature of the day's play was a sparkling in- nings by Sam Isaacs "who, not in the least perturbed by the way things were going against his side, hit up 40 runs in 15 minutes including a beautiful sixer off Alec Pearce.
Hong Kong has thus completed their interport pro- gramme, winning one match and losing the other, and with Shanghai beginning their match against Malaya to- day, it will be interesting to see if the Northerners will win to make it all square," "ar whether Malaya will heat them to go home with all four flags having beaten Hong Kong, the United Services and Kowloon previously.

It looked as though it was the beginning of the end, but Sam Isaacs was not in the least perturbed when he joined Mayhew and cut Beck very nicely for a four, hitting the next ball for a four and then the third for a single, the 160 going up in 147 minutes.

'The following are observations on yesterday's play
1. That Beck practical- "ly won the game for Hong Kong when he clean bowl. ed Stokes for a “duck" in the first innings;
2. That Minu, unless he takes a wicket early on, is inclined to lose heart;
3. That Sam Isaacs gave one of the brightest exhibi. tions of hitting seen on the Club ground for a long time;
4. That the Hong Kong fielding was patchy;
5. That Alec Pearce is one of those bowlers who can send down a good length ball for a whole day; and
6. That the Shanghai team played cricket in the truest sense of the word,- going for the runs like the sportsmen they are.
OPEN AIR CONCERT. In the evening, an open air con- cert was held at the Hong Kong Cricket Club when some excellent entertainment was provided by the Lincolns Imps Band and some of the Colony's leading artists in- cluding the Rev. Lewis Bryan, Mr. G. W. E. True and Mr. A. Hyde Lay.
The former was in very good form with his humorque items and had the large gathering in roars of laughter during the time that he was on the stage while Mr. true rendered some pleasing plano selections and Mr. Hyde-Law con-- tributed a vocal item in his visual Anished style.
