With reference to the 'old hands' it has to be noted with
regret that many, to whom Sings pore looked to uphold its place of honour in bis match, gave most disappointing returns, the ma jority of which appeared quite unaccountable. De Silva, from whom much was expected, eer- tainly was very unwell, and both Galistan and Brown can do and have done a great deal more than their returns of yesterday. The leavening influence in the team may be found in Chow Kim, Long, and Chaterall steady persistent, acorers. Neubronner's
splendid 90 might rightly be styled the triumph of youth over experience.
But however one may view the resuits there can be no doubt whatever that all the team worked hard to uphold the reputation of Singapore.
