(By "Veritas").

South China "B" have their first big testing of the season on Saturday, when they entertain South Wales Borderers in the most important match of the day's league programme. In their games to date the Chinese have impressed very favourably, and several critics have gone so far as to suggest them capable of beating the "A"

team.

Wickets For 59 Runs

FIRST DAY'S PLAY IN CRICKET INTERPORT

Making fullest use of the advantage of winning the toss, Shanghai yesterday compiled the respectable score of 335 in their first innings of the Interport Cricket match against Hong- kong.
