INTERPORT CRICKET.

QUAYLE'S GREAT INNINGS.

SHANGHAI BATSMAN WINS TEST GAME FOR. HIS SIDE."

MALAYA'S SENSATIONAL DEFEAT.

ام

By batting in magnificent fashion yesterday for an hour and three quarters in compiling a memorable score of 113, J. A. Quayle, "of

·Shanghai, turned what looked like almost certain defeat for his sile into an ultimate victory over Malay in the steend watch of the Interport "Test" series at present in progress. It was one of the finest innings ever seen on the Hongkong Chih's ground. 'Of Quayle's total, 96 runs were made up of sixes and 1 fours.

In the Triangular "Tests" Hongkong have beaten Shanghai, and Shanghai have beaten Malaya." The home eleven meet the latter to-day, play commencing at 10.30 a.m12. It is certain that Malaya will put forth overy effort to make up for their defeat by the Northern side, and a good game may be reasonably expected. When play was resumed yesterday m the Interport Test between Shanghai and Malaya, the former, with two wickets down in their second innings, were 79 rans behind Malaya's first innings total of 208.

The newcomer, after scoring a single, hit a bail from Whitley, who had by this time come on at the Law Courts end, into Queen's Road for & This brought the 200 up at about 1 o'clock, and the teams went in to tin.

Play was resumed at 1:43, Thompson at the Law Courts end, and Kaight, being the bowlers. The batsmen started hitting

Rawsthorne, who when stumps were drawn on Saturday, was not out without having opened his scoring, took the first ball yesterday from Thompson who bowl-almost immediately, a four by Bure off ed at the Law Courts end. Knight was the initial bowler at the Naval Yard end, and his first bolt was delivered to Duckett who at close of play on Saturday was Gnot out. Both men opened cautiously, being content with an occasional single, and the first four came from Rawsthorne after 17 minutes' play, when the batamaa drave Thompson hard to the Queen's Rod boundary. He followed this with two boundaries a minute or two later off "the maine bawler.

BARRETT HITS OUT.

Knight being quickly followed by another by Quayle off the same bowler. In the next over Quayle drove Thompson hard to the Chater Road boundary. Both batsmen were now hitting Thompson almost as they liked, fours being regis- tered repeatedly Burn off three succes- sive deliveries, by this bowler scored a six and two louts. He was, however, bowled by Knight almost immediately afterwards. His 30 included two aixes and two fours. Barnes went in laat man. Wyatt came on again in place of Thompson at the Law Courts end. When he had reached 04 Quayle gave an easy chance off Wyatt to Foster in the deep field, but the latter fumbled it. The next two balls, also from Wyatt, Quayle hit for four cach, sending up his individual 100, and go for his side, at 2.22 Barnes

The innings and the match ended at 452 when Foster, in attempting a bigh drive past the bowler of Barrett, was caught by Rawthorne in the deep field, when his side had scored 106.

They started their second innings with Livock and Grenier, who laced the bowling of Leach, at the Naval Yard end, and O'Hara. The latter bowled the rat in this over, while Grenier put on another.

CRICKET NOTES.

that

It was a little difficult to realize that the team out in the field in the fourth innings of the Shanghai-Malays match, was the one that had been playing pre viously. I am inclined to think now that the Shanghai XI. in rather a Berthon side. But when not engaged in collaps ing, or getting their tails down, there is a" powerful lot of good cricket in the ide. Their fielding, however, is pretty bad, though it bucked up at the end. Most people rather, assumed Shanghai were absolutely for it on Satur- day night, and T. E. Pearce's confident prophecy that they would win: caused some amusement. He was, however, ab solutely sound in judging that a side with, Barrett, Quayle and Leach in it could not very well fail four times running. Nor did they. Barrett got going a bit:-it must seem funny to him to be and b Wyatt, as the two played together in the Malaya side of 1004. But to Jimmy' Quayle Shanghai owe a tremendous lot. His was a most gallant innings, while his hitting at the end was magnificent: Burn made an invaluable thirty, hút Barnes' steady refusal to get out was worth a lot. I have not the acore before me at the moment but I rather think about 30 or 40 were put on for that last wicket.

Again, dropped catches turned the scale. Had Phayre caught Quayle at 43; Shang- hai must have lost. But in justice to the fieldsman it must be stated that the hall got right in the sun's eye, und he never took it in his hands but on the upper part of his arm.

By the time that Malaya went in for their last knock, their confidence had been considerably shaken and O'Hara and Leach took full advantage of it! never expected to see people treating Barrett's donkey-drops with the care the later batsman exhibited, playing back. frequently to halt volleys. At the same time, Barrett's bowling is considerably harder than it looks. He produces from his long and flapping shirt-sleeves what appears to be an extremely inaccent looking affair, but he taras then quits sharply both ways, and at a crisia most useful bowler. His record for the match was 6 wickets for just over thirty runs; a lot better than anyone else's-- and I incline to think that it won the match, after Quayle's century bad saved it.

i

O'Hara bowled excellently, though the way the batsmen played him nust have encouraged him. Foster, who scored 27 singles in his 33, and Phayre alone did anything with the bat.

It must ot be concluded that because we beat Shanghai and Shanghai beat Malay that a fortiori we shall beat the latter team. We have a very good chance of doing so but we cannot afford to slack off an inch. I don't think the Malaya bowling is very dangerous once it is really tackled, though Thompson and Knight are both good for the first few overs. Holmes-Brown will, I think, be their most dangerous man. They have six good hats on the side, but I think rather a tail. If we field as we did against Shanghai, I feel confident of vie tory. But if we start putting them on the carpet, I shall be very dubious as to the result. It is going to be worth watching, at any ratel

Shanghai go over to Kowloon for a game da Wednesday. Barrett and O'Hara stand down for Wilson and Clifford Peck will also play, so there will be twelve a-side.

I shall be interested to see how Evans, Young, and Lyall do against them, but I fear Kowloon have very little batting
