HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1933.

HUGHES DECLARE

THIS MORNING?

Hong Kong's Strong Position:ravelling rather fast-75-6-8.

Leach's Gallant Effort

MINU AND PEREIRA BOWL WELL:

HAYWARD'S FINE KNOCK

Will Owen. Hughes declare the Hong Kong innings close this morning? This is the question that every cric. ket enthusiast is asking at the moment, and with Hong Kong 286 runs on, the chances are that a declaration will be made this morning.

Yesterday's play in the interport went to show that Hong Kong were the better team and that the big score they piled up on Saturday was no fluke.

After the side had been dismissed, Hong Kong's bowlers were set a good example by Beck who clean bowled Stokes with the first ball sent down, and from the very outset, it spelt a grim fight for runs

on the part of the Northerners.

li

Donald Leach rose to the occasion in splendid fashion and batted like a Trojan but his efforts were of no avail, the rest of the team crumbling "before the Hong Kong attack like the Bank Building!

Frank Pereira and A. R. Minu, the Indian Re creation Club opening pair, shared the bowling honours but credit must also be given to Beck and Garthwaite for the parts they played in bringing about Shanghai's downfall.

SHANGHAI'S

The Hong Kong innings was resumed at 11 am. when Ernie Fincher and Dunkley went out to continue their innings on what ap- peared to be a fast wicket which had been baked pretty hard.

It appeared that we were book- ed for a repetition of Saturday's stone-walling tactics for neither of the batsmen showed any inclina- tion towards hitting the ball: the next over, however, Fincher got Isaacs away to the boundary (tram lines) to send the 240 up in 271 minutes and also to reach his twenty,

runs.

After Leach had scored a lucky single off Beck's next over, Booth brought off a nice shot to score a four-the ball travelling very fast to the £ne-leg boundary, to serid the twenty up in thirty minutes. In the next over, Garth- waite sent a full toss to the Shang- hai skipper and the result was a four. The next ball Leach hit to Minu at mid-on and called for a short run but Booth sent him bäck which was just as well for Minu hit the stumps with amart return with Leach only just home.

Six Interport Points

(BY, "L. B. W."')"

The following are six- observations on yesterday's play

1. That Donald Leach's innings was an excellent effort in view of the fact that he was fighting an up. hill battle all the time;

2.

That Owen Hughes did a smart piece of work by starting the bowling with Beck and Garthwaite; 3. That the Hong Kong fielding was unusually alert;

4. That after Hong Kong had made the first 100 runs in their second" innings Owen Hughes should have sent his hitters. out to get the runs quickly; 5. That Tom Hayward batted like an old master;" ∙and

Hong Kong's innings came to an end in the next over when Isaacs sent down a beauty which beat Dunkley all ends up and took the middle and off.pegs. Ernie Fin- cher was thus not out for 21 while Dunkley had six, the last wicket stand realising 16

·Hong Kong's total was exactly 240, and Innings lasting 273 minutes.

SHANGHAI BATS, " Stokes and Simpson opened Shanghai's innings at 11.25 a.m. Owen Hughes giving the ball to Beck to start Hong Kong's attack from the Naval Yard end." He met with immediate success, clean bowl ing Stokes with a ball which ap- peared, from the Press box, to be rather over pitched. The batsman arled to glance it but missed the ball and there was the welcome "crack"-to the Hong Kong team putting on Pereira in place of Beck The next over saw Owen Hughes and the score board read 01-0.

Pat Madar went in to fill the effect, for Booth tried to turn, the and the change had the desired breach, and encouraged by his third ball and gave an easy catch early success, Beck was bowling to Tuddy Fincher at third slip-bowling very well, coming off fast very well, coming off quickly, but "Pat" broke his duck with a single to give Simpson the bowling. No little surprise was caused when Owen Hughes gave the ball

Garthwaite

6. That might, to advantage, have "been more enterprising in

the second inninga.

Hong Kong lost their first wicket when Fincher attempted to pull Isaacs to the leg boundary and, failing to get hold of the ball

property gave an easy catch to Sinclit (20-1-8.

Pearce was next in but failed to score on the remaining balls of the over. Then Leach effected the first change, bringing Jenkins on in place of Wilson. This bowler had five men on the leg side three, grouped between fine leg but Hayward hit him away past fine leg for a single and then Pearce hit hima past Pat Madar at square leg for one run. "

He then made a change in his) field and dispensed with his slip. having four men close in on the leg alde, but Hayward-was not to be trapped and played the rest of the over very carefully though he did not scare.

PEARCE IN FORM'

The first ball of the next over (from Iasacs) Pearce hit for a single but no further runs came from the next five balls. Again Jenkins bowled the leg-theory to Hayward and this time the bats- man placed the second delivery to third man for a two to reach his ten in 25 minutes., Thirty was signalled in 34 minutes when one from Jenkins went for a boundary bye, and in the next over Pearce brought of one of those square cuts of his that are so delightful to watch. He followed this with a single to cross over and face Jenkins who was still exploiting the leg-theory. He survived an appeal for obstruction and cele- brated this by sending the ball to the ropes to get his ten' in 18 minutes. Forty was signalled al- mast simultaneously.

Booth: then came on for Isaacs and each of the. batsmen scored a single off him. In the next over Pearce had, his downfall when be tried to turn one from Jenkins, and, touching the ball," gave May- hew a chance behind the sticks. which was accepted.-47-2-13.
