for the better part of two hours, housing for intervals of ten to 15 minutes players such as T. A. Pearce, c. c. Garthwaite, Capt. Persse, R. Owen-Hugher, L. D. Kibec, K. Nazarin, A. R. Madar and A.

Its chief on- set appears to be good length, and Sometimen he obtains a neat change of fight and pace. His batting was tentative, but the promise is there. In the main he is a defensive bats- man, though when he likes to use his feet he can straight-drive strong- ly. Like must young cricketers, go- ing through the school of experience, he has to learn to leave alone the well pitched-up off ball. Yesterday he was nibbling, and the result was; three catches to slips and que to the wicketkeeper. His defence is sound and is cerials to improve. He comes down well on the hall, and watches very faithfully. A little more firm ness on the right leg and a bit more enterprise will rapidly muke this young man a good, reliable bat.

Devlin Beaten By Ipoh. Champion
Ipoh, Aug. 30. Devlin, the English badminiton pro- fessional, was defeated on Saturday night 4-15 and 5-15 by Tan Cheng Phor, the Perak diampion, in the Ipoli town hall. In all matches ·
Devin showed a wide variety and smoothly executed strokes, and in the singles
made Cheng Phor run all over the court by allerning Jobs to the back hand with drop shots.

Cheng Phor played a fast game often surprized by retrieving many dificult placements but nervous and jumpy at the start of the game. Good overhead smashing and strong defence carried him through.
Interviewed by the Free Press cer- respondent after the match Devlin said the conditions in the town hall, were better than elsewhere although the heat was still irksome.
Cheng Phor in his opinion is very gon but he considers Leow Kumm Fatt more experienced.

The heavy downpour during the early hours last Saturday morning was responsible for the absence of the more rogu- lar patrons of the Happy Valley training track; never- theless there was a pretty good attendance of interested owners and keen racing fans to watch the ponies, although there Were no sensational gallops.
