HONG KONG MALAYA INTERPORT

Both Sides Fail On A Bad Wicket

FINE ALL ROUND PLAY

BY ALEC PEARCE

A day of fluctuations in fortune but with the bowlers holding the upper hand all through, describes the opening day's play in the Hong Kong Malaya interport cricket. match.

IN

Owing to the sodden state of the wicket, play was not possible until. 1.15 p.m. but long before that hour, it was apparent that the interport fever had spread again, for there was a large crowd fining the ropes to see mem-" bers of the two sides taking a knock at the nets.

Both teams failed badly on a wicket that was describ- ed as "a devi!", and after Malaya had been dismissed for the poor total of 92, Hong Kong did no better, and, with half the team out, they only got together 51 runs.

Alec Pearce, playing in his first interport, was the hero of the day. He kept an exceptionally good length when Malaya batted and took 2 wickets for 22 runs, but after that he did even more useful work for his side by collecting 27 at a time when total collapse seemed immin- ent. För Malaya Eu chow Teik hit out merrily for the top score of his side a valuable 20.

At the close of play, Hong Kong were 41 runs behind with five wickets in hand, but the wicket is in such a state" that there is no saying whether they will get the runs or

not.

The game will be resumed at 11a.m.. this morning, and will be continued on Thursday.

There was a large number of spectators, the Pavilion being crowded and in the stand a very good crowd for a week day. 1.E. the Governor, Sir William Peel was the guest of the Club at tiffin and was for a time a most interested spectator.

It was, Gibson's call, but Alec' Pearce was fielding at cover and returned the ball very smartly to Dunkley who made no mistake The score board at this stage read 12-1-6:

Eu Chow Tiek was next man in and he saw Fincher save what might have been a four for Gibson, The ball was slashed very hard, but Teddy just got his hand to it and they only managed to run a single. The new-comer then face Minu and played very care fully.

Six Interport Points

(BYL B. W.")

The following are six ob- servations on yesterday's play:-

were

1. That most of the batsmen Malaya afraid to hit the bowling which was not as difficult as they thought;

2. That Eu Chow Tiek. has the makings of a really first class batsman if he has the right coaching;

3. That the fielding of both sides was excellent;

4. That Owen-Hughes, has answered in very de cisive manner, those who said, that he cannot captain a team, by the way in which he handled the bowling and placed the

field;

w

5. That Spledewinde is a very good left-hand bowler who keeps the bats- man on the move all the time; and

6. That in Hamilton, Malaya hae a skipper who is on the alert all the time.

T

he took no liberties and Goodwin bowled his second maiden of the afternoon. A

With the total at 75, however, Alvis mistimed one from Ducklit and gave a very hard chance, to Owen Hughes" who brought of a good catch at. backward point. The outgoing-batsman had play ed good cricket, and, staying in as he did when his side wanted someone to stop the rot. his 14 was worth more than the score would convey. 75-8-14.

Gill joined Jonklass but im mediately after he had scored a single, Jonklass gave an easy catch to Minu at mid-off. He had scored 15 runs, but like Alvis' innings, his was invaluable. The telegraph board now read 78-7-15 which looked very gloomy for our vin- tore.
