Out in Hong Kong where the dif- ference of time prevents the arrival of yesterday's score at to-day's breakfast table, we perhaps get even more fun and excitement than the people at home, those, that is to say, that do not "actually see the match. And the Sunday in- terval gives us a regular half-way house as it were. I have jotted down my feelings at the receipt of each day's cables, and my readers may find it interesting to review the various stages of the game.
