MCINNES OPENS HIS SHOULDERS
(By R. Abbit)
A'S Saturday's close of play indicated, the Club yesterday won the triangular tourna- ment cricket match against the Army in a very comfortable manner. dismissing their rivals in the second innings for 102 to win by an innings and 29 runs.
TA. Pearce carried off the major honours of the match, scoring 67, and in all, capturing 9 wickets for 37

Pte. Dewey by his bowling nad fielding has certainly strengthened his claim to a place in the side. I cannot help thinking that if available Bonavin would be their best selection.
Colledge has shown that he is quite a capable wicket-keeper-he atumped three and caught one in the Club Innings though I did not think he was quite so good yester- day as he was on Saturday,

WALES TO HAVE WORTHY FOES IN CHARITY CUP FINAL
YESTERDAY'S KEEN ENCOUNTER
(By "Voritus").
A huge holiday crowd at the Club ground yesterday saw China, enter the final of the International Charity Cup, when Portugal were beaten by five goals to two. In several respects it was a typical “after the night before" game, both teams appearing rather lacksidasical, Neither reached top form, but the Chinese were the better team and deserved to qualify as Wales' opponents.
China did not get on top until the last fteen minutes. Then, playing four forwards, they over ran the weary Portugal defence; and riddled the net with three rapid goals.,
