THE next meeting of the Hong- kong F.A. Council will be held on Monday, March 1, and from vague reports which have been going the rounds, 1 gather the meeting will have to consider an unexpected item on the agenda. The Council will also probably receive a report on the Interport. Indications are that some $5,000 profit will be shown on that parti

O'Reilly
was the man who was to form the other half of the great attack with Grimmett In 1934, and is of course a spin bowler.
THE SECOND TEST The
ercorid
Test WOS really O'Reilly's match as he took 5 for 63 and 5 for 66 Jardine lost the toss for the second time, but there seem- ed no cause for apprehenalan at the end of the first day's cricket as Aus- traila had
lost seven
wickels for 194 runs, Allen, Bowes and Voce were doing the damage and the English batsmen were considerably surprised to And that the Melbourne wicket was playing in a most unusual way. Perhaps the fact that Bradman was bowled first ball by Bowes had n good deal to do with the trouble. Next day Australla were all out for 281 runs but England did not come off at all well and only Sutcliffe, Allen and Leyland did anything at all. The wicket was still, playing had very curiously and although they h only made 169 runs England got Aus- tralia out in the second innings for 101. Or this Bradman made 103 not out! England had to get 200 runs to win and it looked casy
but money the plich gelinitely did not play" -na- it should have done for there had not been a lot of rain. There was an awkward wind of which O'Reilly made great use and the whole side were out for 139. The Australians thoroughly deserved their win.
It was in the third Test that the riot really happened. The behaviour of the spectators was disgraceful and one must regretfully state that the players and the authorities of the home side were not entirely blame- less. Suffice it to say that England made 341 and 412 while Australia made 222 and 193. It is interesting to note that poor Larwood, who was considered the villain of the piece, did not do particularly well as he only took three for 35 and four for 71. There was nearly a cessation of the tour but matters were more or Jess patched up,

Australia won the toss and put to- At the end of the gether 340 runs. third day England had lost eight men for 271 runs, and that after 114 runs had been put up for the first wicket by Jardine and Sutcliffe but Paynter, who came off a bed of sickness to bat eight, scored 83 and Eng- led by 16 runs on
