How Shanghai Made Their Record Interport Cricket Score

FULL DESCRIPTION

OF A GREAT INNINGS

Parker's Fine Century: Colony Start Badly

A "TELEGRAPH" SPECIAL.

Shanghai, Oct. 8.

FOLLOWING their good display of the first day,

the tail batsmen of the Shanghai interport cricket team put on an even more impressive performance yesterday before the team was dismissed for the total of 479.runs. This constitutés a record innings' score in interport cricket, the previous best being 455 for nine wickets 'declared, scored by Hongkong in the Colony in 1909. Hongkong went in yesterday and: met with similar disaster to that experienced by the carlier Shanghai batsmen, four of their best men being dismissed for 89 runs. E. F. Fincher who scored 36 and K. Nazarin who had not opened his account, were undefeated when stumps were drawn, the score being 91.
