LUSTY HITTING BY SHANGHAI CRICKETERS

TEDDY FINCHER MAKES SPORTING DECLARATION

CROP OF EXCITING INCIDENTS IN ONE DAY MATCH

ISAACS 44 IN QUARTER OF AN HOUR

(By R. Abbit)

The match between Shanghai and the K.CC. has by now become an established fixture. I am told the K.C.C. have not won 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 bowl.ng there would have been a comfortable draw.

Twelve #nida were played and ns usual Donald Leach lost the tosi The K.C.C. were without Willie Hung who unfortunately had ment.

A. T. Lay, having completed his the previous contury at Faniing on Sunday, came back to the side, but none of the K.CC. Army members were playing.

SPECIAL DESCRIPTIONS

The semi-finals in the Open Mixed Doubles Cham~ pianship of the Colony have now been re-arranged.

This afternoon at the C.R.C., M. W. Lo and Mrs. Litton will meet E. C. Fincher and Miss 0. Dalziel, and to-morrow Lori Goldman and Mrs. Lochner, the holders, oppose Capt. Cannon and Mrs. James.

Special descriptions of the matches by "Veritas" will appear in both editions of the Telegraph on Tuos- day and Wednesday.

The Kowloon Captain lund played and invaluauto innings. He was beaten} neo or twice but gave no chance that anw, and his side would have been in the cart without it.

Gittins came in and cracked a long hop front Madar to the square leg boundary, and shortly after lunch was taken with no further loss.

AFTER TIFFIN,

When the game was resumed things brightened up a lot. Jenkins bowed from the Club-House end but did not bother the batsmen. Staple tem was Bound and Gittins played free cricket, and claimed twenty-seven runs of the forty added for the sixth wicket before, being finely taken at deep third man-a very square cover if you prefer it-ell Pat Bindar.

I could not see which, and he does not know.

Mayhew fully fustified the high opinion that had been formed of his batting. True, the edge was off the bowling, but it never became loone, and his strokes, especially on the leg side, were excellently produced.

THE BOWLERS.

Selby was of form and throw out some very wild passes: Rigg was shaky all through, and never seemed to be able to judge his passes.

For the Arm, Lieut. Martin made the most of his chances on the wing, and Lieut. Herbert was always con- apleuous in the back.
