Saturday's Play

Four Wickets Down For 50

(From Our Own Staff Correspondent.)

Shanghai, Saturday. The thirtieth Hong Kong-Shanghai Interport match was commenced at 3.30 on Saturday after- on the International Recreation Club noon, ground, after three inspections had been made of the wicket. It was found impossible to play on the usual Interport ground as it was under water. There was a large crowd present, the majority be- ing ladies, and the sun was shining. At the close of play, Hong Kong had scored 50 runs for the loss of 4 wickets.

Capt. E. J. R. Mitchell was successful with the toss (this was his main hope all along) and decided to send Hong Kong in to bat on a dead, easy wicket. The pitch was drying.
