CRICKET INTERPORT REACHES

FASCINATING CLIMAX

ALTHOUGH Fhave been lucky enough to see a great

deal of the Malaya match, I was quite unable to sco the cricket yesterday morning and I find. I missed a most exciting, hour and twenty minutes. FOR some time it was "roses, roses, all the way" for the visiting Team. Redmond was out at once. Hamilton started nicely but just as he seemed to be getting down to work he was bowled by one that swung up from leg. Good- win and Minu failed to come off, and nine wickets were down when we were still thirteen runs short of the opposing total.

FIERY PROSPECTS.

TODAY'S REPORT ON THE WICKET,

A few minutes before play. started this morning, our cricket correspondent made n inspection of the wicket,

which had just been rolled. His report was:.

"It looks as though the wicket is going to be fiery. It is dry, but there are a number of patches, and I think the pitch will become dangerous before lunch.

"Willis can certainly be ex- expected to derivo a consider. able amount of assistance from the wicket.”

AFTER LUNCH.

At lunch time it became known that Goodwin's strain was so bad that he could not take the field and E. F. Fincher, by permission of the Mainya 'captain turned out as substitute.
