Hamburger'A stolld play and re- trieving saved him many points and he occasionally beat Choy with * elever drop shot, but he made the mistake of lobbing to the Chinese, who was very strong overhead. Choy was also able to bring off a fine cross-court drive and pussing shot whenever Hamburger attempted to rush the net.
J. H. Ho started off nervously against Ranbir Singh of India, net- ting frequently. As a result he drop- ped the first set quickly, taking only one game. The Indian kept up the pressure in the second set and took
it after nine games.
Displaying better courteraft, the Chinese won the third set but the effort seemed to unduly tire him. The Indian then smashed his way to victory.

Selections Analysed
"R. Abbit" Sympathises With George Pope
The names of the thirteen selected to stand by for the second Test Match which begins on Friday next at Lord's will cause little surprise. In fact the only thing that occurred to me was that it was rather unlucky to select thirteen! Twelve would be too few especially in these days of such fragile cricketers as we seem to have, but fourteen might be luckier even if it did mean an extra man missing a county match! Probably however it would not. Before the First Test no less than fifteen in all were warned for duty. I think.
