KOWLOON CRICKET CLUB'S
HUGE SCORE.
ELECTRIC R.C. DEFEAT "CIVIL SERVICE. ·
THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, MONDAY, APRIL 9th, 1928.
As it turned out, however," Hong Kong were unable to force a draw, the first hour's cricket on Saturday morning proving their undoing. The rot started with Hayward trying to book a shortish one from Lyal which kept a bit low, and the very next ball Owen Hughes cut hard and low to Ross in the gully who held it well. Next over Goodwin gob In a two-day match on their own Pearce with a real peach which ground the Kowloon Cricket Club

The pair put up the 100 after 11 hours play before Ramsay just got under one from Owen Hughes, and was well caught and bowled for 60. Teddy Fincher followed and at tiffin time the score was 110 for 1, "Brace being not out 47. After tiffin Wales soon got Fincher caught at the wicket, and the very next over Pearce was unfortunate enough to drop Brace off a ball that he got. right into his Kands but coulda't hold. Apart from this mistake his "keeping" throughout the day was excellent. Brace went on to collect 80 before he played right across one from Heed and was bowled. Mean- while Reynolds, who is a great ac quisition to Kowloon, had played himself in and started collecting runs at a great pace.

"Tä the second over after tiffin, how- ever, he called Batger for a short- one, was sent back, and couldn't get in before Jex, who had pounced on the ball, threw the wicket down.

Eval's analysis rather flattered him as he was bowl- ing mostly short of a good length and got both Hayward and Musson (the latter very luckily) with what were little better than long hops.

Lyal and Lindsell did not. long' survive, but then began the most prolific partnership of the day, bo- tween Ernie Fincher and Jex, who put on 140 for the 8th wicket in just over an hour. Both hit the tired bowling very hard, Jex bringing off some fine drives, and Fincher just after his 100 hitting one huge six into Yaumiti. Both are greatly im proved bats, but like so many of our local Inds they seen unable to learn how to call or run. Wales got the last 2 wickets with successive balls and at 5.45 the innings, was over for 493 (which is said to be the biggest total aver scored in Hong Kong). Despite this colossal score, the bowling never got really slack, Reed, Wales and Masson all pegging away every steadily in rather dis- heartening circumstances. The Kow- loon captain perhaps laid himself open to criticism through failing to declare at tea-time when the score was about 350 for six." To put the' other side in for last 14 hours might have clinched the game, but it was holiday mateh, and Goodwin no doubt wanted all bix side to get n knock.

The Bank of the Netherlands now holds gold to the value of 3 million Borins, na compared with 170 million florins in 1914. By virtue of her possessions in the East Indies she has a source of wealth which has been of late years greatly increased by the British Rubber Restriction scheme.
