V.R.C. Hold A Slight Advantage
Ever since Frank Hadley startled Shanghai with his amazing performances in the water over short distances in the early part of the summer, Hongkong has been curious to sce this human destroyer in action.
This curiosity was satisfied last night when, following his recent triumphs in Kobe, he appeared in the V.R.C. bath for the Shanghai Foreign Y.M.C.A., in the first part of an unofficial Interport against the Victorin Recreation Club.
He realised all expectations, setting a new record for the 50 yards, giving Roza-Pereira a magnificent race in the 400 nlmost immediately, afterwards and helping the Y.M.C.A. 10 win the medley relay race.
The V.R.C. finished the evening four points ahead, having gained first place in three of the six
events.
THEY WON FOR SHANGHAI-Picturez taken yesterday of R. R. Duell (loft) and Frank Hadley, who won ovenia for the Shanghai Foreign Y.M.C.A., in the start of an unofficial Interport with the V.R.C.

Let me state straightaway that there have been more accidenta this season than over before, and no fewer than five-batamen-have been sent to hospital for three weeks or more through being hit on the head and body. by these short fast bumping deliveries.
Some will say that the bard wickets are responsible for this; others will assort that it is the batsman's fault, chiefly owing to the pronounced two-eyed stanco and covering up of their wickets, Many more will give ther verdict that the bowler is in no way to
