INVITATION SHOOT
Units of Regular Army Participate
The first of the Association's invitatioh shoots for units of the Regular Army was held on the Army ranges at Kowloon City on. Wednesday afternoon," when teams from the Royal Engi. neers, 2nd Bn.; the 'Royal Welch Fusiliers, 1st Bn.; Lincoln. shire Regt.: and Royal Army Ordnance Corps shot for eight Silver Spoons presented by the Association for the purpose.
The Conditions of Shooting were that the members of each. team must be members of the Association, that the shooting should take place under "King's" 1st stage conditions, and that The rifles to be only nett scores would be allowed to count used were to be "as issued," which meant that neither slings. nor aperture sights, could be of any assistance.
As will be seen from the detailed results given below, the final results were very close, and as the end of the match ap- proached, excitement ran high amongst the various members of the teams competing. Two of the competitors, who shall be nameless, had the misfortune to fire three of their shots on the wrong target which, while materially adding to the prevailing excllement, had a somewhat devastating effect upon their mor- ale, and that of the other members of the team's affected.
An exceptionally large nur iber of entries were received for the competitions held during the aftemoon, over 30 being "ré- corded, with the result that sheeting came to an end only just before darkness set in. The score of Private Dyer, of the Volun- teer Defence Corps. who dropaca only one point at 600 gårds. deserves special mention; many members, shooting with the S.R. (b) rifle, would give much to put on a stilar score, even under the most favourable conditions as regards light and wind.
The spoons were presented to the winning team by Mr. C. A.- Grimes, one of the Vice-Presidents of the Association, who ex- pressed, on behalf of the Council, the pleasure it gave him to see to many attending the shoot that afternoon, adding that it was hoped on that day fortnight. to arrange a match be- tween the Services, Volunteers, and Police. He then presented Pte. Pockham. R.AS.C., with the silver spoon, presented by him each month, to the individual full member who shows. during the preceding four weeks, the greatest improvement in his shoot- *ing.
Concurrently with the team shoot referred to, an ordinary Spoon and Practice Shoot took place, the results of which: "with the names of the winners of spoons, are also given below. »
The following are the leading scores made in a spoon and practice shoot, and the result of an Inter-Unit competition fred on the Army Ranges at Kowloon City on Wednesday afternoon. Conditions:-Seven shots and one sighting shot at 200 yards. 500 yards, and 600 yards. H.P.S. 105 points. Rifles, S.R. (a), and S.R. (b).

They all looked fit, and did not lose much time in getting down to the Hong Kong Cricket Club for a knock-up at the nets, which werd placed at their disposal. A goodly crowd of spectators turned I up during the morning to see the visitors, and were treated to a fine display of bowling and batting.

Jenkins trundled down a good mony, overs, while Elllott showed some speed with his de- liveries. Leach also took a hand at bowling. breaking both ways with typical regularity with suc. cessive balls.
Elliott indulged in some hard bitting. often smiting the ball with ease to the Chater Road and Naval Yard boundaries Leckle, Stokes, and Leach also had turns with the bat.
Speaking to Mr Baker, who came down with the Interport side in 1927, on the seats of the club house pavillon overlooking the grounds, our representative was told that Shanghai possessed a very well balanced side, and had batsmen down to the 11th man It was a good all round eleven, essentially youthful, since

The season, so he explained, in Shang- hai was at an end, and as consequence difficulty is always experienced in getting a side to- gether for trials, as a great many of the cricketers were interested In other games. Stokes for instance. Was a keen teris player, "and very good at it." The selection for the team had been made from six First Division sides in the League, four sides of which were run by the Shanghai C.C. and two by the "Recs."
