Four matches in the Open Pairs! competition were played on the Hong Kong side, all at Happy Valley. yesterday, one game at the Police Recreation Club being won by a wide margin.
At Cralgengower, V. Petherick and J. Watson beat A. Steven and Dr., AR. Selby by 23 shots to 18.

¡Special Air Mall Service) London, May 12 What a disappointing seque! we have had to yesterday's great send-off for Cambridge University against the Australians! By the end of the second day the match isas good as finished. Nearly all the University hatsmen were over- whelmed by the occasion when they replied to the huge Australian total of 481 for 5 declared, and they were all out for a paltry 158. Batting again, they lost 6 wickets for 68. and 255 are still required to save the innings defeat.
A hopeless task; and morale Tather than cricketing quality is the explanation. The Australians have enjoyed all the good fortune, and the game's lesson, so far as they are concerned, is that their strength is much greater in batting than bowling.

Grimmett's Easy Tásk
No sooner had the play been resumed than Grimmett found his task easy, indeed, the Varsity alde At lunch the gut themselves out. score was 28 for one; at half-past three it was 78 for six; and by five minutes to Ave, in the second over after tea, Cambridge, were all out, 323 behind.
The tale of the leading batsmen was a pathetic one. Skinner and
Dinwiddy left in three balls from Grimmett at 43, Bartlett hit four boundaries of him, looked good for more, and then was caught off

The Grimmett Complex It was a wicket for speed bowlers
the Grimmetta to-day, and yet complex worked the havoc ex- clusively, Grimmett took nine for 74 in the Varsity's first innings and shared the honours with Ponsford and Brown, who readily responded to the sudden return of summer by reaching a double cen- tury and century respectively and completing a great stand of 252.
Warm sunshine flooded Fenner's when the morning's play began. The delighted Australians basked on the open balcony of the pavilion as luxuriously as though, atter some days in purgatory, they had suddenly reached paradise. They had badly needed the change in the weather.
Quite a number of them are troubled with colds; Kippax is still in bed with mild influenza, and about Mr. Bull; the treasurer, who is also il, the report was not al all reassuring. Oldfield is better and will. I understand, play at Lord on Saturday.
One of the curious Incidents that make cricket so rich in the unexpected marked the day's first
aver.
The total became less deplorable before Jahangir Khan left. He hit Grimmett for ten off three de- liveries, and rattied up 33 in twenty thrilling minutes. Brown caught him full length at cover when the score was 114, and in Fleetwood-Smith had not been put on for Ebeling the last three man. Hunan principally," could hardly have added 44. The Australian faith in Fleetwood-Smith entirely lacks justification "so far. He was played by the tall-enders without much difficulty.

THE ARSENAI. F.C.

(Special Air-Mail Service)
London, May 12.
Sir Samuel Hill-Wood, the chair. man of the Arsenal F.C., Informs "The Evening News that there is no truth whatever in the report that Mr. William Struth. the manager of Glasgow Rangers, has been appointed to the post of manager of the Arsenal club.
"Mr. George Allison, managing director of the Arsenal FC.. also denied the report of Mr. Struth's appointment which, he said, was "an absolute. fabrication."
Interviewed in Glasgow to-day, Mr. Strúth said: "I am not leav- ing Ibrox Part."
To Stay In Glasgow Mr. W. Struth, who has been manager of Glasgow “Rangers” för thirteen years, was, I understand. offered and has refused the Ar- senal managership.
Rumours of the offer spread in Glasgow in mid-week, on-account of the visit of Mr. George Allison, managing-director of the Arsenal, who was also said to have travel- led North with a view to securing the services of Davidson, the St. Johnstone inside-right.
Mr. Struth to-day informed mę that, while he appreciated the compliment, he had decided to stay in Glasgow.
