FURTHER DETAILS OF HONGKONG'S
FIRST INNINGS.
Further details were to hand yesterday morning of Hongkong's first inning which, as stated in our yesterday's issue, totalled 332--a score which almost equall.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, MAY 1918, 1938.
The remaining men to bat are N. M Omar. F. D. S. Dods, F. N. Young and LJ. Davies. Of these four Dods put up a good round score in the first innings | and both he and Omar should, if they get set help things along. Davies-a real hard slegger-can also do well in a tight earner. But, much depends on the part.. nership of Pearce and Wild.
The match to-day will be resumed et

IX SECOND
INNINGS.
Late yesterday afternoon the news was received at the Cricket Club that Shang- hai compiled 235 in their second inniuge. They were all out by the tiffin interval. Thus yesterday afternoon Hongkong was fed with the task of getting to win. Whether they will do it or not remains" to be seen, bat the general opinion at the Club was one of grave doubt; several were full of hope that our men might be able to force a draw. With few re maining hours for play they may be able to keep the Shanghai bowlers off until ataumps are drawn. After two strenuous Hays play, our mea were probably not, feeling so fresh as they were in the first innings and then again they would have to contend with a well-worn pitch.
Shanghai's recad innings scopre Brem to indicato varied luck. True, three of their players made big scores-Hayward (61), Quayle (84) and Leach (65)—but Ofterdessen, Claxton, Barrett and Mariel did nothing remarkable.. Barrett, who made 60 in the first innings had the misfortune to be run out after scoring 2 and Muriel, with" 89 to his credit in the Brst innings, and only 1 in the second. Ollerdeisen made in contrast with 90 lai the first innings.

Owen Hughes heats the bowling again for Hongkong, häving taken six wicketa for 74, which is a sound performance. Sayer took a turn with the bowling inf this innings and secured two wickets for 23 ruins.
