BRIGHT BATTING BY HOLLAND-

MARTIN AND SMYTH

OUTPLAYED at all points, the United

Services suffered an overwhelming defeat by the Hongkong Cricket Club in the Triangu- lar Tournament during the Chinese New Year holiday, losing shortly after tiffin yesterday by ten wickets.

THE match ended tamely, after an invigorat- ing, display of batting by Lt. Holland-

·Martin (53) and Inst.-Lt. Smythe earlier in the day. During the match Beck captured 11 wickets for 54 runs. A full description of the game by R. Abbit follows.
