INTERPORT CRICKET CHANCES.
A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
WHO WILL CAPTAIN HONGKONG. SINE?
granted that as the invitations hetyian S.C.C. and K.O.C. the Captains are always members of the Clubs. I understands that he will be able to make the trip.
Hin cricket is attacking and he is a Janod 'deep feld. I am laying a hundred so one however that he will not bowl Donald Lench out this year.
The news that the usual Spring Interport game in Shanghai would take place this year was no mur. prising as it was welcome. No one doubted the desire od Shanghai to play but conditions up there hava bardly seemed favourable, Porada, ally I had quite given up-all hope ant I was shown the written in vitation from the Shang" C.C. It now sectas certain we nd be sending a team up which will leave the Colony somewhere about the tente of May, anning, that the day mentioned, the fifteenthi, is the one about which it is desired to play.see the sixteenth is Whit. Monday so quite possibly a start will be made cither then uron the [- previous Saturday. The weather up there is generally couter than ours about that time. At least, ib was when I was up there in 1921, though it certainly knew how to rai.

I base my comments on the notes kindly supplied md by a cricketer who has a thorough know- ledge of the game and who was himself taking part in the match. The 1.R.C. scored slowly at first. and Beck was making the ball fly about a good deal: Họ got Ismail caught by Anderson at 23, but met with no further success Rumjahn and Kermani continued rather slow. ly until 71 when the datter was bowled by Andersoh. His partner and the new batsman A. H. Mader put on eighty eight before Captain Burnett took Rumjahn at slip oft Richardeon. The cricket had been dull and vaenterprising, Pereira, soon went but with A. A. Rumjahn' in Madar began to score rapidly, driving straight with good effect. The 1.R.C skipper 'declared with 195 for 3 un the board. Madar's Linnings was very valuable but he was lifting the ball a lot. The Rest folded a lot better than they bowled
