PRESS XI DEFEAT H.K. ELECTRIC
BUT SHOULD HAVE LOST
RUMJAHN'S GOOD DISPLAY
(By "REFEREE")
Playing under very warm condi tions yesterday morning, on the South China Athletic Association ground, the Hong Kong European Press eleven defeated the Hong Kong Electric Company by the odd goal in three, much against the rus of the play. The losers domin- ated the exchanges throughout, but poor finishing by their for wards robbed them of a win.
The Press were best-served by their full-back division, where A. M. Omar gave a very sound dis- play, breaking up the opposing
movements just outside the penalty
area, while A. E. P. Guest, in the
pivotal position, kept a fine watch

Kowloon Cricket Club's bowling was made to look very ineffective at Cox's Road yesterday, when, in a whole day match, Army bowlers took such toll that a declaration was made after only four wickets had fallen with 264 runs on the board.
The main feature of the match was the mammoth unfinished part- nership for the fifth wicket between Lieut. Beadnell (120 not out) and Capt. Michell (102 not out) which realised nearly 220 runs.
K. G. G. had lost seven wickets for 153, when stumps were drawn, E. G. Fincher batting in typical style to score 77 and avoid outright defeat

Tilden, in taking such a great and comparatively young player to five sets and at a time of life when most men would be only too pleased to lay down their rackets, can be said to have achieved a wonderful performance, for there are many people who believe Nusslein to be the equal of Perry and Vines.
