INTERPORT CRICKET

AUGURY

HONG KONG WINS TOSS AGAINST SHANGHAI

ONE CHANGE IN TEAM

FAIRLY EASY WICKET NOT FAVOURING COLONY

Hong Kong's flag supplanted Malaya's on the roof of the H.K.C.C. pavilion this morning to fly side by side with that of the Shanghai team which had so determinedly pegged uphill yesterday to defeat Malaya sensationally in the triangular interport cricket.

One change had to be nude in the local XI. Owing to Captain J. R. Reynolds bring in camp, the services of Lt. A. H. Musson were requisitioned. Both are all-rounders. Shanghai adhered to the "joss” combination that had accounted for Malaya.

Once more did Donald Leach call wrong when the coin was spun and "Dick" Hancock, the veteran Hong Kong skipper, rightly decided to bat on a fairly easy wicket which was expected to produce runs. After their fine showing earlier in the week, Shanghai were considered to have a good chance of brit ging off the double.

EARLY LOCAL DISASTERS

The teams are:-

Hong Kong:H. R. B. Hancock (captain), D. J. N. Anderson, W. Brace, A. C. I. Bowker, E. C. Fincher, H. Owen Hughes, Lt. A. H. Musson, T. E. Pearce, A. Reid, J. E. Richardson, Lt.-Col F. J. C. Wyatt.

Shanghai:D. W. Leach (cap. tain), E. G. Barnes, C. W. Howard. F. E. Marshall, P. Madar, Dr. W. E. O'Hara, H. E. Orr, T. L. Rawsthorne, O. G. Simpson, L. F. Stokes, T. W. R. Wilson.

Umpires:A. 0, Brawn and J. F. Robinson,

As on a previous successful occasion, Hong Kong opened, with Brace and Fincher, the Kowloon C.C. stalwarts.

Bowling from the Law Courta end, "Torry" Wilson sent down Reveral on the off which Brace left alone. Brace scored a short single to face O'Hara, the left hander.. Short singles were run

Gelding was keen and accurate. the throwing-in unimpeachable.

After an interval of about 10 minutes, Hong Kong' took another single, by "Tam" off Wilson. A four to leg off O'Hara followed and he in double figures

COMMITTEE'S PROPOSALS

In the "Government Gazette" is published the drafts of a Bill to amend the Stamp Duties Ordinance. It is stated under "Objects and Reasons"

1. The main object of this bill is to carry out one of the recommenda- tlons of the recent Stamp Duties Committee. The opportunly has been taken to make certain other amendments also,

2. The present definition of the term "letter of hypothecation" leaves some slight doubt as to who ther shares are included, because the words used in the definition are "movable property." Section 2 of this Ordinance amends the de- finition so as to refer to "gooda,
