THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11th, 1927.

There was one fact that emerged pretty clearly from the day's play and that is that 'Pearce is far and away the soundest bat in the Colony To weather was considerably at present.

Melsome was by far the best of their bowlers and it is a pleasure to see him bowl. He lights the ball well, turns it a good deal, but more than this, he bowls with his head. He is probably the best bowler we have had in the Colony since Havelock Davids with! the possible exception of Cantrell. And I rather think he's one of those bowlers who does better when he's up against really good bats. Yesterday he got 3 for 48 but he had 5 catches dropped off him, four of which certainly should have been caught. I say five because they stuck out. There may have been more but I lost count.
