CANTON, January 3rd.
Within the last fortnight the Civil Ser yion Club has risen to the second place in the League by virtue of victories over the Royal Engineers and the Manchester Regiment. The R.E. shaped most dis appointingly and the Civil Service would probably have won by ten wickets had Wood and Bradbury, the usual opening pair, been sent in first. When Wood did go in the match had already been won, and therefore he was able to lay about him in his most vigorous style, increasing 39MAN INTERESTA IN CHINA.. his average with an unbeaten 52 runs. Playing against the Manchesters laat week-end, Wood beat the soldiers off his own bat, with an unfinished innings which brought in 114 runs. He had no difficulty with the bowling.
