FINAL SELECTIONS FOR THE INTERFORT TEAM.
After play closed on Saturday the Selection Committee announced, after a discussion of about an hour's length that

Rumjahn hooked Doda for four, but next over lot out at Lammert and was well caught and bowled Webster then came in.

In spite of this Webster began to remains in the Colony he will become one hit the ball very hard and Evans left of our best interport players in the nothing loose unpunished. future. To de Rome, too, sympathy must be extended. But upon the whole it must be conceded that it would be hard to select
a better side. But if we only had a Bird! Mr. R. E. O. Bird has now retired from cricket. He played first in 1903 ond when Available, was with one exception invari ably selected from that date until 1920 when, by way of a coping-stone on his career he did the hat-trick against Shang- hai. His left-hand bowling will be sadly missed, and hoither Owen-Hughes, nor Lammert at present bowl well enough for inclusion. The team then is:-.
H. R. B. Hancock (cant). T. E. Pearce
Capt. Havelock-Davies, R. G.A. Capt. C. D. Olliver; RG.A.
E.. Roed.
L. 7 Davies.
G. R. Sayer.
C. J. Stapleton.
R. E. A. Webster.
B. D. Evans

And to these players we all tender our best wishes for their success.
SATURDAY'S GAME.
Baturday's game started, at 1.50, the sides being-
Pearce's XI.-T. E. Pearce, Capt. Olliver, Rev. E. Quick, C. J. Stapleton, A. E. Wood, Major Matthews, G. R. Sayer, Capt Spinks. Captain Dods, A. L. Gace and E. G. Lammert,
Hancock's XI-B. Hancock, Capt. Havelock-Davies, E. B. Reed, H. Owen- Hughes, L. J. Davies, R. E. A. Webster, B. D. Evans, C. F. Alexander, A, A, Rumjahn, F. J. de Rome and U. Omnr.
Thus, roughly speaking, it was batsmen e. bowlers. The light was excellent until towards the end. but the wicket noon began to crumble, especially at the Naval Yard end,
Pearce and Olliver opened to the bowi ing of Reed and Havelock-Davies from their usual ends. The latter was coming down very fast, but Pearce got everything just short of a length nicely away to leg for singles Reed was treated with great |
batemco, especially, respect by the Pearce, who had been dropped in the slips off his first over. The chance was a very difficult one, and Havelock-Davies seemed to be unsighted by the wicket- keeper. As the result of half an hour's play 40 was hoisted. The fielding was excellent, Alexander at point being especially smart, No wicket "fell, how ver, and at 4 Owen-Hughes relieved Reed at the Law Courts end and at 31 Evans went on for Havelock-Davies. -Olliver put his first two balls away prottily for four," one on each side of cover, and got him away again the next If Evans had not wasted a man Tat long. leg and bad had an extra cover, all these fours ought to have been saved, and later he changed the field accordingly. If a medium fast bowler bowls so many leg balls as to require à long-ing it heems there is an obvious course! Erans does come with his arm a little ad times and seldom pitches that ball wide of the leg stick..
.over.
At 70 Olliver retired with an excellent 40 to his credit (the umpire signalled byes when he actually was dropped at the wicket off Havelock-Davies). Quick came in but did not stay long, being bowled by a halfvolley fran Evans which he turned into a yorker. Webster came on for Owen-Hughes with Stapleton batting and at 121 Pearce retired for 53. Barring the one chance he had played very nice cricket, Wood came in and got two fours -off Alexander's first over-but both should have been stopped in the field. He mado a beautiful off-drive of the same bowler's next over, the ball travelling very fast and all along the carpet. He then pro oceded to hit Webster clean over the pavilion (very nearly picking off a pass ing tram) but in trying to repeat the same stroke he got too much underneath it and was well caught by Reed near the screen. He got his 19 in about five minutes. Four for 147. Matthews came in and hit Alexander for four past extra cover. Stapleton meanwhile was playing his usual stylish cricket, his work on the leg side being particularly pretty. "At 166 Omar went on for Alexander but Webster effected the separation,_getting Stapleton 1.b.w. for 30 at 171. The bats- man evidently made up his mind the ball was not going to hit the wicket. Stapleton's great weakness seems to be that he cannot tell if a ball is or is not: on his leg stump. He always plays with his pads in front of his middle and leg stumps.

The Manila team, chosen to play the Services yesterday morning WAS follows:-Messrs. J. R. H. Mason, Juhn Grieve, G. Todd, A D. Gibbs, F. L. Manderfeld and E. J. Nell
The services team was represented by Major Gandy, Capt. Cummings, Capt. Bloxham, Lieut. Bacgn, Lieut. Sheffield, RN, and Lieut. Sparkes, R.N.
It was an ideal day for golf and the course was in good condition. The first couple to drive off were Capt. Cummings ahd Mr. John Grieve. These two players hid, a very close game and finished all square. Capt. Cummings was round in 76 and Mr. Grieve in 79. The latter's performance, considering it was his first round on the Coutne, was a very credit- able one..
