Pending Shanghai's reply, a meeting of the Interport Selec- tion Committee will be held to issue a ranking list for 1935-36, and from such a list will be drawn Hongkong's team to play Shanghai.

FIRST CRICKET WINS
UNDER ONE-DAY RULE
Since Law Was Passed Two Years Ago
London, July 16. THE first counties to win ten points to their opponents' three for a one-day County Championship match are Gloucester- shire and Northamptonshire. They succeeded yesterday against Warwickshire and Sussex respectively by winning on the first. innings.
The rule awarding these points was passed over two years ago, but, although several counties have been involved in one-day. matches since then, the prize had eluded them. Lancashire and Derbyshire also played under one-day rules, but Old Trafford weather, true to its reputation, ruined even this abbreviated match when a good finish looked possible.
