Ed, 'a Roza has represented. Hong Kong against Shanghai for, the past two interports in diving events. He is certainly the most versatile diver in the Colony with a large number of fancy dives at his command.

Stokes And Booth In Excellent Form
(BY "L.B.W.")
Although it will be at least a month before the cricket season in Hong Kong opens, our friends in Shanghai are in the middle of their season already. Interest in Shanghat cricket has always been very keen, bat in view of the fact that Hong Kong are sending a team to the Northern port in October for the in- `terport, cricket enthusiasts in Hong Kong are following, even
more closely., the activities of the Shanghai stalwarts.
For that reason, we are publishing the Shanghai baiting and bowling statistics, and although it is not always right to "judge by averages," it will he seen that some of the Northern port's "stars" are in excellent form at the moment.
It will also be noticed that names like that of Pat Madar T L. Rawsthorne, J. C. Jenkins and
