THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24th,

THE SECOND INTERPORT

MALAYA OUTPLAYED.

SPIRITED HITTING BY SHANGHAI,

ISAACS BOWLS WELL.

By R. ABBIT.]

The weather was fine, though not nearly no hot as on Tuesday, when Malaya and Shanghai began their game yesterday. There had, I am told, been a little rain in the night, and the wicket was distinctly slower than previously. It was not exactly bad but the ball popped up shoulder i high at times at both ends,"

Quayle banged Richards hard to the pa boundary from a full-toss but later in the over he let out at ons shik dit was magnificently caught at slip by Whitley who fell at ull length and took the ball in his right hand as he tell. Tiffin was then taken.

GENERAL NOTES. Barring miracles and typhoons and such-like Shanghai have the game safe. Malaya are evidently upset by the strange conditions and it would be absurd to judge the side by yesterday's performance. One thing was rather noticeable they ran them much more keenly than we did. Whether or noit would have come off if Shanghai had not been just a trife tired after their previous hard work I should at like to say. I don't mean that Shanghai were bad in the Bell

The most noticeable shot was and had to go out and feld again a very pretty leg glance by Stokes on top of their. Tuesday's and off Ford. The score was taken work.

Further disaster followed. Foster who had never seemed happy tried to hit Isaacs, was too early and sont it straight to Leach at mid-off. Runs were hard to get. Ford was out to Isaacs-either hit-wicket or bowled off a ball he just stopped. (He was actually bowled.) Jordan after a nice four to leg was yorked by a swinger from the same bowler, while when they tried a short one to Stokes, the fielder threw the wicket down with Whitley well out.

MALAYA'S SECOND INNINGS."

Malayn. 137 runs behind opened with the same pair to the same arst bowlers as in the morning. Isanes had hard luck in his second over. Obviously swinging from the of a great deal (as he had been in the morning), he clean beat Taylor with one which the batsman anicked just clear of his leg stump for four. The next ball-practically an iden tical one-skinned past the leg stump. It was obviously a case of and it another cont of varnish went for four byes as "Barnes thought it had bowled the wicket down Both batsmen shaped much inore confidently, but at thirty-five one of Isaacs got up quickly and, as far as I could see, brushed' Taylor's glove as he tried to leave it alone Rawsthorne made no mis take.

Their fielding again under novel conditions was not too good though some of them-especially Taylor throw a prodigious length. It must be a long time since Foster Fut down three catches-difficult though they were. I think the light was largely to blame for he caught three very fine ones when the ball was lifted bigh and he got a good look at them.

Barnes kebt, as usual, very well indeed and Jordan also showed ex- cellent form behind the sticks,

The H.A. F. turned out against the selected side in the second Interport practice game" on the Hong Kong F.C. ground yesterday afternoon. Wynne and Gosano were absent, their places being filled by Wallington and J. Silva.

.

The Selected wide soon began to attack and a pass from Suen was turned to good account by Silva who beat Avery in the R.A.F. guai.. There was not much exciting play, however, for both sides appeared content to take matters easily. The task of the selection Committee was not made a lighter as t result of the match. Vernon and Wilkes were outstanding on" the R.A.F. sid.

Towards the close of play, Buen beat Avery with a very fast shot. FURTHER PRACTICE GAME.

In a very fast match between St. Paul's College am Tueen's College, played on the Causeway Bay 'ground yesterday, the former won by two goals to mil. The teams were well matched and play was even throughout. The winners showed better footwork and understanding, while their defence proved very sound. Tang Yan Sheung and Ng

CRICKET FOR LONGEVITY.

DOCTOR' DISPROVES A COMMON BELIEF.

"There is a common belief that First-class athletes tend to die re

latively young. . .

"An examination of the avail able data shows that such a belief is not true of first-class cricketers, who are long-lived in comparison with the general public."

Dr. A. Bradford Hill, of the. National Institute for Medical. Re- search, makes these interesting de clarations in the Lancet. He bases his conclusions on a complete analysis of the lives of first-class cricketers built up from data given in "Wisden."

Only forty in 1,000 die before reaching the age of thirty-five, while the normal rate of death for ordinary men before thirty-five is eighty-nine" per 1,000,

That proportion in favour of cricketers continues by to the age A cric- of seventy and beyond. keter is likely to live much longer than a golfer, and sa amateur first- class, cricketer will live slightly longer than a professional.

Lord Harris, of Kent, is a example of cricket longevity, He is seventy-six years of age, and still plays the game.

Miss Bankhead will start work to-morrow morning at the Tedding- ton studios of Ideal Films, Ltd. er salary is said to be in the neighbourhood of £500 a week.

The London stage career of Miss Bankhead may almost be described as phenomenal. It is all the more. remarkable from the fact that only about five years have elapsed since she first appeared in London, under Sir Gerald du Maurier's manage- ment.

Sir Gerald du Maurier was to have played the lead opposite her, but expressed his wish to retire from his part at the same time as Miss Cooper. His part will be playef ed by Mr. Ian Hunter, who is now
