THE INTERPORT.

HONG KONG'S BIG ADVANTAGE.

MALAYA 19 ON WITH THREE WICKETS TO GO.

THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1929.

KNIGHT, EVAN WONG AND BOSTOCK

HILL HIT OUT FOR MALAYA.

Yesterday's play in the Hong Kong-Malaya Interport ended with Malaya, being nineteen runs on with only three wickets to fall.

The feature of the morning's cricket was Owen Hughes* excel- lent century. The Hong Kong "tail" defended stubbornly while Owen Hughes steadily piled up the core, 79 being added to the overnight total.

The earlier Malaya batsmen made a great effort to pull things round, but after Oven Hughes had got a valuable brace of wickąte in a single over play went all in favour of Hong Kong.

A full description, by Mr. R. Abbit, of the day's play appears below...

SPLENDID CENTURY BY OWEN HUGHES. the leg side off the next ball

北

The weather had turned colder and was quite overcast when the game re-started yesterday morning at about twenty to eleven. There had been a little drizzle at about 10a.m. and Braddell started with Bostock Hill. A full toss to leg and a long hop, presented Owen Hughes with two useful fours, and Smith, at the other end, did not unwind himself in his first over and was all over the place. A fall toss went to the fence for four, and there Three were a couple of singles, came from Hill's next over, but Lai Singh had to sprint very fast to save a line of drive from Owen Hughes from reaching the rails. Next over the same batsman, luckily, did not get hold of an atrocious long hop to leg and it dropped short of Wynch. Later Owen Hughes had fine on drive for three and then Smith just touched Anderson's head with one that pitched half way. Owen Hughes pulled an over-pitched one from the slow bowler. The two hundred was up, and Anderson put Smith through the tovers for four with really nice shot. He touched the last one of the over but was safe, the ball pitching a yard in front of Lal Singh. A couple of singles and Owen Hughes had his fity completed. 910 went up, and 32 runs bad come in about twenty minutes.

Anderson's Useful Innings.

Hopkins relieved Bostock Hill and Lal Singh Smith and the rate of scoring dropped. The Doctor was bowling his leg turners very well and had bath batsmen guessing- and not guessing very well either. Finally Anderson was quite wrong and was bowled playing forward The stand bed put on 36, of which Anderson had had is, a score much more valuable than its size would denote. Hong Kong were 65, on with

3 wickets to go.

Wyatt had a single and Owen Jughes a pull for four off what was left of the over. At 224, one of Lal Singh's whipped off and up and touched Wyatt's glove on its way iato Wong's hands. (224-8-8.)

Score Mounts Steadily. Knight went on for Hopkins, who, curiously enough, seemed to lose his length after getting his wicket. Knight relieved him and

hit his rada. Four byes came and Smith went on. Bowker then should not try to hit fall torses! He put one hang into Janson's hands at mid-on but somehow or other the fieldsman cropped it!

The Third Century and the End. The next excitement was whether we should put up the third century. Owen Hughes banged a loose one of Lal Singh's to the leg boundary and square cut Smith prettily but Gibson again raced across and saved the four. Hopkins went on and Bowker settled the question of the third hundred by hitting a short one straight back past the bowler the boundary. It is a shot to eminently his own and is difficult to describe. I suppose a forearm punch is the nearest one can get to it. For the third time running Hong Kong put up a good Inst innings stand and on this occasion it realised 42 for Lal Singh going or for Smith knocked Owen Hughes off stump out of the ground with his, first delivery., Bowker was not out cleven. (303-10-108).

Malaya's Second Knock. The Hong Kong innings Bnished just before half-past twelve and. by the laws of the game, Pearce, could have sent them in for five minutes before tiffin but he preferred to foliow the real Interport spirit and tin was taken. After, Wynch and Koight opened to Bowker and Wyatt at their usual ends. Six came from Bowker's first over, tour of them being from a snick between legs and wicket, by Knight. Both Batemen played confidently, though Wynch was "iffing" again to Bowker. Things grew quiet but with the second ball of his fourth over Bowker all but bowled Knight. Wynch got Wyatt away, to long lcg very nicely for three next over and with a four to leg off Bowker sent up 2). (As a matter of fact I was wrong yesterday about the first wickets. Hong Kong and Shanghai did it once each before this.) In Wyatt's next over Wynch touched another "i" one off Wyatt and got it between the wicket-keeper and first lip. It looked as if it was a possible, though very difficult, chance to Brace. At 25 Reid went

sa for Bowker at the Yard end. In his second over he apparently swung one and Wynch hit at it and missed it. It landed fall pitch on the middle stump. (30-1-10.)

A Change Raverses the Position. Pearce made an excellent change to Owen Hughes at the Law Courts end and his frat ball, a good length, bowled Lai Singh. I thought it a little unkind of a well-known cricketer to explain Lal Singh's bad stroke by the fact that he had seen Owen Hughes bowl before! Bostock Hill hit his first ball to square leg for a single, and then, what looked like a yorker on the off stump hit Knight on the ankle. (126-5-01) A wonderful change from a hundred and twenty for three and two men going well!

After Tea.

Ten over, it got very overcast and again began to rain quite hard. Brace went on at the Yard end, and Owen Hughes bowled a maiden from the other end. A couple of singles came from Brace and then Bostock Eill had a good four from a full toas to leg from Owen Hughes. The ball must have been getting slippery by this time. The same baleman had a three to fine leg of A short one, a ball or two later. Brace bowled maiden and next over Richardson raced well across to save a four to fine leg for Bostock Hill However, at 143 one of Brace's kept low, and Gibson stepped into his wicket and was

The Arrears Wiped Of,

It was rather surprising to find Owen Hughes still on as he did not appear to worry Bostock Hill in the lightest. Probably, however, Pearce decided to take the gamble of letting him have a bowl at Brad- dell. It was a gamble, because Braddell after a couple of fours is A very different person to Braddell Bow- with only one or two runs. ever, no runs or wickets resulted. Next over Braddell hooked Brace finely for four. Owen Hughes bowl- ed a maiden. A single to Braddell resulted off the next Brace's.

Reid then went on for Brace at the Yard end, but was over-pitching badly and Braddell, after a tremen- dous off drive nearly had two more fours, which the fieldsman got to. Wyatt relieved Owen Hughes at the other end, and bowled a maiden to Bostock Hill who was defending, while Braddell played very con fidently and laid the bat well on to the ball. Reid's next over was better and he clean beat Bostock Hill twice running with good balls. A short one of Wyatt's was hooked to the square leg boundary-a fine shot which completed thirty for Bostock Hill.
