THE INTERPORT AT AMERICAN LEAGUE

HARD STRUGGLE FOR RUNS.

LOCAL TEAM'S' GREAT FIGHT.

Hong Kong certainly kept their end up in the "Interport" against Shanghai which started on Satur- day. The home team batted first And apart from a valuable partner- ship by Stokes and Capt. Barrett, and useful secondary efforts by Leach and Dr., O'Hara, their bat- ting was not particularly"imprès- sive. Hong Kong were lucky to get Barrett put when he had made 25. for when he geta that far it often 'means Bomething near the century and the bow- lers

The fielding all through the day was keen and safe. The Shanghai innings closed at 2.52 p.m. Musson and Erskine bore the brunt of the bowling and shared eight wickets,

But for Hayward the visiton display would have been wretched. ·* In cricket, however, there often is this "but."

DEATH OF LEMBERG.

DERBY WINNER WHICH EARNED £41,004 IN STAKES.

The famous sire Lemberg, the winter of 1910, dropped dead at the Hamilton House Stud, Newmarket, a month ago.

Lemberg was bred by his owner, the late Mr. A. W. Cox, who raced as Mr.Fairis.'t

Lemberg won the New Stakes at Ascot in 1009, and later in the same year was also successful in the Rous Memorial Stakes and Chesterfield Stakes at Goodwood, Middle Park Plate and Dewhurst Plate at Newmarket, and Cham pagne Stakes, Doncaster.

LONDON'S FAVOURED POSI. TION RESTORED.

It is now three years since Great Britain returned to the gold standard. It is fitting, therefore, to look back upon our experience since the taking of that momentous currency step.

Lemberg was retired to the stud in 1913, after winning £41,604 iù stake money.

The most successful of his off spring was Lemonora, second to Craig an Eran in the Two Thou: and Guineas of 1921, and third to Humorist and Craig an Eran -in-the-Derby. Lemberg was so the sire of Pogrom, who won the Daks in 1922, and Ellangowan, win- ner of the Two Thousand Guineas in 1923.

Like every other country which decides to give a definite value to its currency, Great Britain had to undergo & process whereby its internal price level was brought into relationship with the external gold price-level. In our own case, the required adjustment was a downward adjustment arising out other words, home prices had to be of an over-valuation of sterling; in lowered to the level of external prices. Inevitably, the effect was to place a temporary handicap in the way of our export trades. There have been compensating ad vantages.
