THREE CLASSICS TO BE RUN
"Nothing To Beat Herod In Hongkong St. Leger"
OTHER EVENTS ARE VERY OPEN
(By "Captain Foster")
Three St. Legers will be run at Happy Valley to-morrow under the auspices of the Hongkong| Jockey Club and the balance of the programme is made up of handicap events. The first classic will be the Hongkong St. Leger confined to griffins of this season, the second is the sub- Griffinis St. Leger, and the third is the Fremantle St. Leger for Australian Ponies. It is not to be expected that there will be a good field in any of these classic events.

KERMANI HEADS BATTING: “PAT" MADAR'S, 14 WICKETS
Below will be found the final batting and bowling averages of the Shanghai Interport cricket team. Kermani naturally heads the batting list with the wonderful average of 108. While Leckie has the best average for bowling, Pat Madar should be regarded as topping the list as Leckie only bowled four overs. Madar, it will be seen, took, no less than 14 wickets.
