ARMY v. NAVY.

SECOND DAY'S PLAY.

THE ARMY `WIN.

This match was resumed at'noon yesterday when Lieut. Smith and Master-Gunner Fogden

resumed

their innings, and managed to adi fa runs before the latter got his leg in front of a straight one from the Colonel, who with Beatty bowl-|- ed for the two overs odd each. After a couple of singles had been i acored by Smith it appeared as if he had been run out from some agles but the umpire's decision was iạ his favour, and he manaġed to bang a couple of fours more. His innings of 39 not out was an uncommonly useful are and A things turned out probably made all the difference, as 42 runs were put on after the eighth wicket foll, and though the Army won by more than that well-you never know.

The Navy, Struggle Hard. Set with 990 runs to get to win the Navy's chances did not appear too excellent, but they had a chance, especially if they could get j through their half hour's batting before tiffin without loss. But they could not. Hussey failed to resist. the flesh-for was it the devil1)---. and had a bang at Hankey; but be was taken shoulder-high near the screen by Wright.

Shortly after tifin Armitage who usually is a tower of strength cock- ed one, back to the bowler, alter playing with considerable restraint for about 35 minutes and four runs, Things started to look up then for the Navy as Sparkes and Brewer- con began to settle down, and the latter was dropped at the wicket. But again misfortune dogged the Navy and Sparkes was out to a ball from. Dobbic which kicked up, hit him almost shoulder high, and dropped on to the wicket. Dobbie was bowling very well at this period but though few runs were given away he failed to get the batsmen out.

Vena also was unlucky as he was easily caught at the wicket from a ball outside his legs which hit his glove and went up as chance. (57.4.3.)

The Navy Rally,

ün casy

At this point again a change seemed to come over the face of the game. Brewerton continued to play excellent cricket and Newall hung on. When at last the latter was beaten by Dobbie 85 were on

the board, and the Colonel came along and got going. The Navy seemed to have quite a good chance with 120 up for five and two Ret.

Disister.

Disaster, however, fell on them when Brewerton went for run, not Seeing that Cantrell, who had turn. ed play it to leg, was off his balance. Both batsmen were at the same end and though Cantrell weat for it like hare he was out by a foot. This seemed to upset: Brewerton and he was c and d of a skyer in trying to pull a full toss round to square leg.

CRICKET NOTES.

Although no progress has been made in the League, there has been

no

dearth of Cricket this kat weeks. The outstanding match was.. that between the Club "and the Army. I have already dealt pretty, fully with this, and I would merely emphasize that it was most sport- ing of the fielding sïde to go on) without an appeal against the light." It is not the batsman who suffers most, though at first glance it would appear. He has the screen to throw the ball up, and in this particular case, I incline to think that he was content to have a fairly general idea of the direction and pitch of the ball. Given these, the bat was swang firmly and away the ball went. The batsmen may have known where, but the fielders eer-i tainly did not.. Eowever, it is all in keeping with the tradition of the

game.

Are Orickstars as Keen as of Old? There was one point that struck me very forcibly. In the old days the Christmas and New Year games were talked about for weeks in ad- vance, and competition was very keen. Yet this year the side was not selected by Friday night. Two or three of the Club's regular sup- porters were playing for the Volun- teers. Some were sick, or unable for other reasons to tura out. But I can see no reason why the team should not have been on the board by Wednesday at the latest. These holiday matches are the nearest thing we get to Interpart trials. and it will be a sad day for Hong Kong cricket when we find no in- terest being taken in them. It is up to the Selection Committee to attend to the matter. I don't know who they are, but I hope we shall see a better side out next week end v. the Nawy.

The Navy and Kowloon. Colonel Cantrell apparently finds the air of Kowloon particularly in- vigorating- On Monday last after taking Hamsay's wicket in his second over he rested himself for a bit, but on resuming took the next acven consecutive wickets. Beatty robbed him of the chance of all ten by taking a couple at the cad. Not content with this the Colonci, who recently made a hun- dred against the K.C.C. and re. ceived the usual bat, proceeded to Christen that same bat by getting

with it. A very fine alround performance.

Trade depression, caused by labour troubles in Canton, was forgotten, and the Colony, favoured with delightfnl, seasorable weather thoroughly enjoyed the holiday.

The political situation in the North is obscure but in Canton the tendency still seems to be towards a return to normal trading. Labour Unions continue to create trouble and high taxation and constantly recurring strikes make forward business difficult, but in the opinion of many the worst is over and 1927 will see slow but steady improvement.- Interest in Chinese affairs is now world-wide and
