INTERPORT CRICKET.

HONGKONG'S SINGLE INNINGS VICTORY.

COLLAPSE OF THE VISITORS:

Dropped catches by Shanghal, a sterling innings by. Webster, very good bowling by Bowker and Reed, ably seconded by Powell and Hargreaves, excellent teamwork in the field, a considerable amount of luck when Hargreaves was batting and clever leadership, were the factors which conduced mainly to giving Hongkong, a comfortable lead at the close of play in yesterday's match with Shanghai.

12.10 p.m.

It would be dimeult to single out any of the Hongkong team for special mention, now that Hongkong. has won the first of the triangular xarles of interport matches Ably led by H. R. B. Hancock, the eleven played as one man. There may be a few who dissented from the skipper's policy of keeping Reed and Bowker on to bow! throughout the morning but results justified the policy. To a casual observer, it seemed as if the bowlers made up their minds to take wickets just when they appeared likely to be taken off and when spectators thought that they would be replaced especially as Hong- kong had several other class bowlers to fall back on.

Bowker and Reed fulfilled expectations but Shanghai's failing with, the bat is difficult to account for when the galaxy of talent

is considered.

Hongkong showed up to great advantage in the field, thus repaying the selection committee and the seniors for the pains they had taken in giving all candidates for interport honourg, ample practice in the field.

The sensation of this morning's play was, of course, the succes- sion of dismissals for "leg before wicket" and the rapid fallin wickets after the first pair had made a stand; ostensibly, to wear down the bowling.

To-day's Play. - ?

The thirty up had now been When-play-oned this signalled. Lenght claiming 30 in as morning, Shanghai were 102 rany intes, in arrears with 9 wickets to fall: Bowker was still bowling a very Despite this leeway, victory good length and showed great -for the home team is by activity in picking up..
