as the best team to visit Hong Kong and, judging on the display in the nets yesterday, it is. not quite up to the standard of the 1933 XI which The Hong bowed to Hong Kong by 170 runs. Kong team, however, has, generally speaking, shown very little good form this season, most of our batsmen failing time, after time. Thus the result of the Interport which commences to-mor-. row is more or less in the lap of the gods.

The champions are contemplating only one change, but it is not a certain move. Lee Kwok-wai, who was suffering from an injury last week and whose place at left-half was very ably
