Kent Makes A Gallant
Response To
To Surrey's
Sporting
Declaration
By Frank Thorogood
Oval: Kont beat Surrey by 7 wkts.
London, July 12,
Loft 231 to win Kent made a gallant response to Surroy's declaration and thanks to a brilliant innings by Leslie Ames, who in reaching his 100 in 67 minutes put up the fastest century of the year, the runs were made in an hour and 58 minutes.
Garland Wells had allowed Kent -
an additional 27 minutes to go fur
the gloves so that the hop county in Cricket
a manner of speaking laughed in
the face of the clock and battered it
to pieces,
The loss of Fugg st 15 gave Surrey early encouragement, but Chalk and Ames made no secret of their laurn- ing endeavour. This pair, selling 84 in less than an hour, galloped along at splendid pace, and the end of the partnership carne when Berry, falling at full length, dismissed the Kent captain.
Then followed a perfect orgy of runs, and I dkl not cease until Amnes and Valentine had scored 131 in dve minutes less than an hour.

Ground Rather Soft At The Moment
At the annual meeting of the Hongkong Polo Club in May It was decided to begin play in August. So tar the rain, which the Colony has been crying out for so rauch, has made the ground too soft for play, If the weather clears and keeps fine, however, the Committee hope to open the season on Wednesday.
As both ponies and players will be feeling rather "soft" after their rest, only slow chukkers will be played. To the spectators tills is not nearly so thrilling as the faster game as in the lournament, which start towards the end of September and continues on an average of one game each month throughout the season, which lasts till May. To those who have been horses, however, It gives an excellent opportunity of get- ting to know ponies, whleh Inter will bo playing a very active part in the winning of matches.

The Hongkong Polo Club is situat- ed in Boundary Street, Kowloon. It is set among low sandy coloured hills und is probably the biggest expanse of flat turf in Kowloon, as the ground is full sized.
