Mr. Snooke condemned the prac tlee of "doping" wickets, and said it should be stopped. "It takes the life out of the wicket and the heart out of bowlers," he added.
Among a large gathering of past who and present day cricketers were present to wish the South the Africans "God-speed," was President of the M.C.C., Lord Cobham, who, in a speech, said that the South Africans had done. a great service to cricket all over the world.

GALLANT FIGHT SAVES- GLEAN SWEEP BY NORTHERN INVADERS
(By "Sagax")
Characteristic of the fighting spirit of Hong- kong's most brilliant lawn bowls skip, U. M. Omar yesterday gallantly rose to the occasion in the final Interport match against Shanghai and, with very capable support from his three col- leagues, completely outplayed the visitors on the Kowloon Bowling Green Club's green to win by a margin of 24 shots to 11, thus partially aveng- ing Hongkong's somewhat ignominous defcats in the first two contests.
So vastly superior were the locať | men to their opponents that there was
