DESERVING WIN FOR SCOTLAND

(IN A SCRAPPY GAME at the Valley yesterday, Scotland qualified for the Final of the "Sunday Herald" Charity Cup competition when they defeated England by two clear goals. The winners will now meet China on Easter Monday,

Fowler, did not have much support and did not receive the passes he desired, with the result that though he was the most dangerous forward he could not make much headway. Thorburn, his inside right worked hard but held on to the ball too long and seldom sent any good passes to hils other forwards. On the right wing Gardner was subdued by Gibbs and rarely showed his real form.

CRICKET

T. A. PEARCE, PERRY, HARVEY TAKE HONOURS AT H.K.C.C.

A BRILLIANT CENTURY by T. A. Pearce and the fine bowling of Major W. G. Harvey were the features of a high- scoring match at Hong Kong Cricket Club in the Triangular Cricket Tournament yesterday.

Pearce batted aggressively to hit two sixes and 20 boundaries. In partner- ship with A. E. Perry (66) he added 121 for the third wicket.

Notwithstanding the huge score of 301 compiled by Club, however, Har- vey, bowling very steadily, returned an analysis of 6 for 56 in 13 overs.

Army made a strong reply to Club but never got within striking distance. Capt. Godby hit hard to score 52. In partnership with Driver Logan, who scored only 17, he added 60 runs for the fourth wicket.

Apart from 38 by Major Harvey, however, later Army batsmen made no material contribution to the score and the side were all out for 208.

McLellan was the most successful Club bowler with 7 for 78.

BIG SCORES

BY MULCAHY ANDERSON

There was a very poor turn-out for the intra-club cricket match at Kow- loon Club yesterday, only eight play- ers for each team being raised after a good deal of canvassing.. •

Nevertheless it was a most enjoyable day with high scoring by W. Mul- cahy's team, which, batting first, made 208 runs in just under two hours.

Mulcahy and Anderson put on over 100 for the first wicket, of which An- derson claimed the greater number, Mulcahy not having reached his 50 when Anderson was well caught by a 301 substitute when he appeared certain to

reach his 100.

Features of his innings were 13 four, two sixes off successive balls Mulcahy scored most of his runs on the leg side by means of powerful hooking and pretty W. glances.

He played well up with his forwards and distributed well. His tackling | and ball eontrol were good.

Gibbs, who came into the team at the last moment, gave a sound dis- play at left half and kept his for- wards well fed with passes. Black- burn at back was steadier than Bone and watched Fowler well.

Fryde scored for Scotland early in the first half when he sent in a drive which Robinson touched but lat pass. In the second half after England had done most of the attacking Hossack broke through to score.
