Singapore Services v. HKCC BRIGHT AND ENTERPRISING CRICKET BRINGS 386 RUNS IN 294 MINUTES

A day of bright and enterprizing cricket at Chater Road yesterday saw the Hongkong Cricket Club leading by 44 runs with two wickets still intact at the end of the first day's play of their two-day match against the Singapore Combined Services.

No less than 386 runs were scored in the 294 minutes of play, the Services" share being 171 runs and the Cricket Club's contribution 215 funs for eight wickets. The visitors fielded a team without at least four of their regular players, who are presumably resting for the big match against the Colony starting on Friday.
