CERTIFICATE OF MERIT,

Wickets For 59 Runs

FIRST DAY'S PLAY IN CRICKET INTERPORT

Making fullest use of the advantage of winning the loss, Shanghai yesterday compiled the respectable score of 335 in their first innings of the Interport Cricket match against Hong- kong. They enjoyed an easy paced wicket, and at one time ap. peared certain of amassing a huge total, but the last six wickets fell for 59 runa.

Ricketts and T. A. Pearce, both spin bowlers, bowled wonderfully well, while L. F. Stokes, Shanghai's most pro- Jific scorer of the year, helped himself to 161 runs, giving one chance at 97. Hongkong ground fielding was excellent, and apart from Buine's dolly drop when he missed Stokes, practically no catches went begging.
