UNAVAILABLE FOR INTERPORT.

Hong Kong cricket has re- ceived a severe set back with the pending departure of A. C. Beck, the Colony Interport fast bowler and left-handed batsman, for Manila.

Beck does not yet know when he will be leaving, but expects to be transferred within a fortnight for an in- definite period.

It is considered almost 'cer- tain that Beck, who played against Malaya last Novem- ber, will not be available for the Interport in Shanghai this year. He was a member of Eric Mitchell's triumphant 1932 team, after having played in Shanghai in the 1930 series,

Last year he returned from Home leave just in time to play against Malaya, after missing the Shanghai game, Before he came East he was given a Notts Trial.
