TEDDY FINCHER MAKES SPORTING DECLARATION.

CROP OF EXCITING INCIDENTS IN ONE DAY_MATCH~

(Dy, R. Aħblt)

The match between Shanghai and the K.CC. bas by now become an established fixture. I am told the K.C.C. have not woo yet. But at one time yesterday I thought they would, and, but for a sporting declaration by Fincher and the more sporting because he knew he was very short of bowling there would have been a comfortable draw.

Biss and Robinson werd the umpires, and the game began, on an excellent wicket just before half past eloven, when Fincher and Lay opened to lanaca and Torry Wilson. Runs came reasonably fast, Teddy drove Iannes straight for four and next over Lay palled Terry for four to mid wicket and was then lucky to sky a single over cover. Teddy took a four to fine leg. After five ovors between them, the two Shanghal opening bowlers came off and stopped off. They had had a tremendous work in the past six days cricket and Leach winely rested them.
