MALAYA'S LAPSE AND SUDDEN TRANSFORMATION

LAL SINGH'S BATTING

GOOD PERFORMANCE BY BOSTOCK HILL

One more did "Torry" Wiber prove himself an agent of destruc- tion when the triangular interport cricket tournament opened to day on the Club ground in Hong Kong. The reputedly strong team from Malaya saw one batsman follow the other back to the pavilion and three wickets fell for 24 runs.

Then a transformation came. Lal Singh, who must surely be the first turbaned player in interport cricket in Hong Kong, distinguished himself with an innings of 48. Bostock Hill, whose bowling proved so deadly when Hong Kong visited Malaya a few years ago, also did good work with the bat.

Although Malaya's batting - as a whole

Much interest, however, attaches to this week's Parliamentary debates, and in the House of Lords the discussion will be opened by the former Viceroy Lord Reading, and probably,by. Lord Birkenhead, formerly Secretary of State for India, who will speak. It is, possible Lord Burnham, who is a mem-i ber of the Simon Commission, will also take part.

In the Commons debate, a speech by the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Baldwin, who with other political lead- ero was consulted by the Prime Minis- ter before a reply was sent to Sir John Simon's leader, will follow a state- ment by the Secretary for India, Cap- tain Wedgewood Benn.
