GREEN WINS MARATHON BY A YARD
Thrilling Finish In Berlin.
T. W. Green's victory in the
- 25,000 metres walk through Ber- lin was gained by a margin which must be almost the closet in the history of foot racing.
After a tremendous struggle- with Schwab, the German, the Olympic champion won by lesa than yard, and after a race over a course of more than 15 miles.
In the Marathon race last year, two Maryhill Harriers, Wright and Fergusson,
ran abreast until
the last 60 yards, and Fergusaon ultimately won by 1-2/3 secs. But it was by a mere thrust, of the chest that Green won in Ber- lin.

In view of the Interport Cricket match between Hong Kong and Shanghai in the Colony next No-
vember I intend to write short notes
on the form displayed by Shanghai cricketers during
their season. which is now on its third week.
The following notes are based
on last week's games
W. Mansel-Smith, the veteran all-rounder, scored an invaluable 61 not out for A Graham's. XI In the first practice
of the game Shanghai C. C. He was associated in a big partnership with R. Booth, who caused such havoc among Hong Kong's batamen in November 1931. Booth rattled up 59 before being bowled by "Ossie" Simpson, who opened Hong Kong's innings in the last Interport in the Colony.
Simpson balled brilliantly for his 78 for J. B. Watson's
XI, though he gave a simple
chance when 30, and another
