CAPTAINS' DAY DAY INTERPORT

H. Owen Hughes And R. N. Hamilton Stop The Rot

HONG KONG NEED 139

FOR A VICTORY

The second day of the Hong Kong.Malaya interport match may well go down in history as the "Captains' Day,' for first one skipper and then the other, rose to the occa. sion in a grand style and played their parts gallantly just when everything seemell to go wrong with their respective sides."

די

To Harry Owen Hughes, full points must be awarded for his innings of 40, not out. He got the runs when they were badly wanted, and he got them in fine style too, and that now must wipe off any doubts expressed as to his ability to lead the tear and set a fighting example.

R. N. Hamilton of Malaya also, showed the hundreds of spectators present, that he is a stout-hearted leader, who does not let a reverse or two affect his play, but, on the contrary, spurs him on to greater efforts. His 51 runs saved Malaya from complete collapse, and although Hong Kong need only make 134 runs for a win, Hamil ton's knock proved invaluable to his side, especially when it is taken into consideration that Hong Kong will have to make their "ruus on a badly cut up wicket.

While, bouquets are being handed out, one must not forget the parts played by G. S. Dunkley (Hong Kong) and B. S. Gill (Malaya). They also got runs

at the eritical stages for their respective sides,

As on the first day the fielding of both teams was almost without blemish, and much will depend on how the early batsmen shape.. Teddy Fincher and Duckitt, will resume for Hong Kong this morning and will go all out to get the runs for their side!

HONG KONG'S LAST WICKET STAND

Hong Kong resumed their in- nings at 11.02 s.m..on a wicket that appeared to have recovered somewhat. Owen Hughes went out with Redmond, the overnight not" out. Willis started the bowling to complete his over and then Gill was given the ball of his second delivery, he had Redmond caught at silly-leg by Morgan.

A. C. Hamilton joined his skipper ..and these two saw the sixty go up after play had been in progress for 16 minutes. These two batsmen appeared well-set at 70 when a change was made in the bowling. Jonklass coming on in place of Gül. Owen Hughes was batting with plenty of confidence while his partner won rounds of applause when he brought off a nice hit to leg (for a four) of Willls. The felding of the Malayan team was excellent Alves in particular being responsible for some clever work at cover.

Hamilton hit one very hard paat Alvis head for a four. then in attempting to pull the next one. for a four, he was clean bowled. It was an inauspicious end to a real good innings, for the ball that bowled him was a full toss and might easily have gone for a four had he been a little more careful 78-7-11.

N

Minu joined Owen Hughes and opened his account off the first ball he received from Willis which he drove for a single. He had a narrow escape the next.ovar,, when. in attempting to go forward to Jonklass, he put up an easy catch but the bowler falled to get to it He did exactly the same thing off the next one, but although this went a little past the bowler, Jonklass brought off a good one handed catch to make the score board read 79-8-1.

HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1933.

AT AT THE

on in the Naval Yard end in place of Willis, and off his third ball, Owen Hughes scored a single, giv- ing Dunkley the bowling. Hong Kong's stumper made a single, and crossing over, he faced Jonklass again, but he failed to score and gave the bowler a maiden.

Owen Hughes then took another single off Speldewinde to send the 100 up in 136 minutes. A few minutes later, he smacked a full j toss from Jonklass to the on boundary to bring his own score up to 32, thus being the top scorer. for both sides on the first innings.

At 107, Gill was given his second spell with the ball, coming on in place of Speldewinde. This proved to be a double change, for Alvis was put on in place of Jonklass, and off his second delivery, Owen Hughes scored a single. The new bowler had bad luck in that off his fifth one, Dunkley edged. the ball away to the boundary to send the 110 up, following this with a well- placed single.

Cautiously Does It!

Both batsmen showed the utmost caution. punishing the loose ones but treating the good fellows with due respect Dunkley then turned one from Gill nicely to the leg for two.

At this stage, runs were coming at a quicker rate, and on a wicket that seemed, from the Pavilion, to be improving all the time, the batsmen were getting really at home. The both gave the im- pression that they were seeing the ball very well, and off the last ball of Gul's third over, Owen Hughes had bad luck in just falling to clear the members stand with a beautiful pull which brought his total to 40, and the total to 129 in 153 minutes.

though it appeared from where the writer was sitting that it was a catch. Two balls later, however, he made the same mistake and

this time the appeal was allowed.

Thus Hong Kong's innings came

good deal harder when the Hong Kang skipper gave the ball to Archie Hamilton to start the at- tack from the Dockyard end. Of the second delivery, Burn scored a single to break his "duck" Minu was given the ball for the second over but he was very short and Burn got his second ball away to the square leg boundary.

The pitch was lively and Hamilton times, his kicked awkwardly at third over being a malden. Minu followed his example and also sent down a maiden. -

Six

Interport Points

(BY L. B. W.")

E

The following were six of the chief points of yester day's play

1. That Owen Hughes is not only a good captain and a cricketer, but he is also a big hearted fighter who does not let adverse odds perturb him;

2. That R. N. Hamilton, the Malaya captain, is of the

type as

3. That the ball with which Minu bowled Hamil, ton would have bowled any body on any day, it pitched

the blind spot and took the off stump;

4. That Dame Fortune was very fair to both teams;

||

5. That Dunkley is the best wicket-keeper we have had for a long time and

6. That Hong Kong will not find run-getting easy this morning on the badly worn wicket.

The bats- men were in a happy mood and both hit out to good effect. Gill hit Pearce for a two to reach his ten after he had been batting for about twenty minutes.

Hamiten then hit one to the long field where. Redmond might have attempted a catch, but the next bali he amacked to the boundary to reach his half cen- tury. The next ball was a beauty and coming in from the leg, it beat him and took his off stump.
