Club cricketers do not want the new by rule, under which a batsman can be given out to n ball breaking in from the off if the umpire thinks the ball woukł have hit the wicket.
They made this clear yesterday a communication to the M.C.C.
In which they said:
SELECTORS DO WELL
HIGGINS GETS PLACE
GOSANO GIVEN HIS CHANCE:
BIG TASK FOR DEFENCE
(By "Veritas")
Under the designation of "Blues," Hong- kong's probable Interport football team to meet Shanghai has been selected for the final trial on Sunday, January 27. It is a combination which, I am sure, will meet with general approval, and it is doubtful whether there will be any necessity to make changes in it after the trial.
WELL DONE SELECTORS!
NO PANIC ABOUT PROBABLE INTERPORTERS' LOST FORM
Last Bunday, in the first Interport football trial, Dick Ridley and Albert Howe, both of whom have played con Alstently well this season, suddenly lost their form, and, judged on the afternoon's dis plays. were comparative fallures.
The Interport selectors, however, refuse to become panicky, and the two players have deservedly been given their places in what can be regarded, as the Probable In- terport side for the next trial. Their attitude is one calling for heartiest congratulations.

SMASHING LADIES TENNIS DOUBLES CHAMPIONSHIP VICTORY
(By "Veritas)
Dominating the court from the opening service, Mrs. Kayil yesterday gave a brilliant display of overhead work and volleying in the course of winning the ladies doubles tennis championship in partnership with Mrs. Parkes, against Mrs. Chui Chun-chui and Miss R. Rumjahn. The U.S.R.C. pair won 6-1, 6-3, and fairly overwhelmed their opponents.
