By this time the wicket was cutting up nastily at the Law Courts end. Next over Braddell should have been stumped off Wales, but an over later the bowler got him caught at lang off.

*REVIEW.
It was heavy odds on the home side when the game was resumed yesterday, and I think Foster was right in adopting what is always rather desperate expedient.-- The match altering the order. against Kowloon had shown that against week-and therefore pre- sumably against tired bowling there were any amount of runs in the. Malayan side. Jordan has dont very well as a steady if slow open- ing batsman and it was just on the eards that if he and Blellach could stop an hour the later batsmen might help themselves largely from the tired bowling. However it wax not to be Jordan hung on for half ail hour for one run bat things were all but over when Congdon was run out in a most unfortunate manner. Foster and Braddell' tried hard and Ford and Whitley played most sporting and gallant knocks but at 19.24 the end came, and Hong Kong had won by an innings and 26 runs. The result was, I think, very largely due to excellent batting and splendid team work. The folding was excellent and nothing reason- able was put down. Apart from mistake, behind, the sticks-

One world, record waä equalled, one China record smashed and a North Chian record lowered in the annual Armistice Day Legation Guard sports on the French Olacis last Friday.
Private I. H. Smith covered the 100 metres distance in 10.9-5secs, the mark set for the world cham- pionship. In running to this figure Pte. Smith, outstanding athlete, of the United States Legation here, also established a new mark for China runners to shoot at. In the 5,000 metres race Pte. Marshall of the British Legation Guard made the distance in 16mins secs., an- nounced by the officials as a North China record.

British Run Well. As in former years the Britons show high class in the running events, and Pte. Marshall gave a sensational exhibition of running in the 5,000 metres event. He start fed out at a heartbreaking pace and kept it up throughout the distance, He was full lap ahead of his cearest competitor and was fairly fresh at the finish.
Another fine British runner was Sgt. Cerrino, East York, who cover ed the 400 meteres in fast time."
