"THE ZOMBIE”

Bright, entertaining and instructive cricket was served up all in one dish by the Jack Chegwyn's Australian team when they opened their series of games in Hongkong yesterday before the largest local crowd seen in remembered memory at a cricket match.

No fewer than 518 runs were scored during the 312 minutes of play, which, though hit in a carefree, festive spirit, were trade-marked by the brilliant batting and bowling of the visitors.

Yesterday's spectators had still more reason to, go away satisfied with the day's proceedings, for in the "Mixed" match, although the visitors were the main centre of attraction, local players too had their share of the spotlight and gave an encouraging guidepiece as to how they might fare in their forthcoming matches against the Australians.

It was the night before the World Heavy- weight Championship. We were in Philadelphia and Ray Arcel, trainer of more World Champions than any other man living, had the floor-which was fair enough because we'd all got seats.

Ray was telling the epic story of the clash between Battling Norfolk, a former Negro heavyweight with "reactions as slow as cold molasses and a right flat like an African soup bone," and Beezer Thomas, a singular za Senegalese.
