START OF UNOFFICIAL INTERPORT
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 see this human destroyer inf 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 Victoria Recreation Club.
He realised all expectations, setting a new record for the 50 yards, giving Roza-Pereira o magnificent race in the 400. almost immediately afterwards and helping the Y.M.C.A. to win the medley relay race.
The V.R.C. falshed the evening
four points ahead, having gained first place in three of the six evenis.

MORE ACCIDENTS THAN EVER.
Has there been during the past) seuson any head-high bowling sot to a leg field, and what has been the effect on the county players?
Let me state straightaway that' there have been more accidents this season than ever before, and no fewer than five batemen have! been sent to hospital for three webks-or-more-through-being-hit on the head and body by these short fust bumping deliveries.
Some will say that the hard wickets are responsible for this; others will assert that it is the batsman's fault, ehlofly owing to the pronounced two-eyed stance and covoring up of their wickets. Many more will give ther verdict that the bowler is in no way to blame.

MISS SHOESMITH AND. Y.M.C.A. GALA.
As, there appeared to be. some doubt as to whether or not Miss Joan Shoesmith won the 50 yards, race in which she competed at the Y.M.C.A, Gala on Saturday. it has been explained that
