A sudden deluge just before luncheon de-catch. leyed play until the tea interval. and with other brief stoppages we had barely three hours' cricket. A great pity, for the game was full of promise. writes a correspondent ir a London daily.

Even now we may have an excit- ing finish, for Hammond declared when, the Flayers had gained a lead of 33 runs with nine wickets down.

and before rain interfered finally the Gentlemen had lost two wickets

for 27 runs.

So disjointed and brief a day could not be expected to produce a rich tharvest. We saw Duckworth batting for a long, long walls, to be sure, and Read, bowled with hope- ful and refreshing violence.

but there was little else which remains i in the memory.

The Players began the morning with their total 135 for four wickets, and when Duckworth went cut with Barber to continue their inings he was obviously savouring his responsibilities as an opening batsman. He played like an open- ing batsman. moreover, though he was a little pawky, and he should have been caught at second slip 5.7 Read.

ני

READ IMPRESSES

He may be erratic, but I like the cut of Read. He runs up to the wicket as if he intends to crack the

stumps with every ball, and he is

quite certainly fast. Clay was bowling round the wickes at the tlursery end, and bowling well, but Duckworth and "Barber were im- párturbable.

Peebles came on for Read, and then Barber swept Clay's off-break round towards square-leg. Brown!" riced in

from the boundary. stretched out his hands, and reach- ed the ball with the tips of his fingers. A vallant effort, but it did not intimidate Barber. He co- tinued to hit Clay towards mid- wicket, and at 164 Wyatt tried Holmes at the Nursery end and Clay in place of Peebles.

Possibly as a reward, Parks was pur op at the Pavillon end, and at 19 he bowled Melville so compre-

hensively that Duckworth was moved to appeal for a catch at the top of his voice. This brought the rain down once more in torrents. and at 8.10 play was abandoned for the day..

GUNBOAT JACK BEATEN

LOCAL HOCKEY

Filipino's Clever Fight

Singapore, Aug 3.. Gunboat Jack, the negro cham- plon of India, had two opponents against him in the Great Woria areng last night.

One was Young Frisco-"young' not merely in the sense or a "nom" de-guerre" but in actual years. The other was Old Man Time,

The result turned out as antici- pated-that: youth would be served. but victory did not come by, the K.O. route. Frisco fought a great fight to win on points--and very deservedly too.

Mamak" Meeting

The Executive Committee of the Mamak Hockey Tournament met last evening at St. Andrew's Church Hall when se eral items of Interest were discussed.

A letter received from the secretary of HMS. Medway to the effect, that due to the southern cruise the boat will not be back on time for the commencement of the tournament and in view of the fact, it was decided at the meeting that the time limit for extended to the competition be naval teams. Such extension is to be made at the discretion of the Executive Committee.

It was generally expected that there would be about a stone dif- ference between the two but the weights were announced with Fris- co at 11st. 1 lb. and Jack at 10 st. 5 lb.

A selec- Brown tion of bats was brought out to Holmes him, and he made his choice with Heane due deliberation. He was clearly settling down for the day. Leyland appeared to give a chance of stumping of Clay at 179, but the Gentlemen had some time to wait before they took a wicket. It was Duckworth who went, lbw to Read, and when he walked cheerfully back to the pavilon he had been batting for an hour and a half:
