DESPERATE CLOSING STRUGGLE,
SENSATIONS TO-DAY.
Hong Kong's Stand Followed by Collapse.
:
Cricket enthusiasts had all they could wish for on the Hong Kong Cricket Club ground to-day when, the match running into the third day, Hong Kong defeated Shanghai in the first game of the triangular interport by three wickets after being 104 runs in arrears on the first innings.
Tam Pearce, "skipper" of the local side, took part in a stern uphill struggle which must have reminded him of a similar victory in Shanghai a few years ago when he cabled back that he was doing his "d....dest."
