28 runs, giving three distinct chances in the making of them.

Clegg-Hill essayed some interest- ing strokes before his dismissal, while Major Rawstone batted really well, his 37 being a delightful innings to behold. Captain Mcintosh-Walker also collected a sound-looking 34, and at one time the Army looked safe for a draw.

The first Ave wickets put together 110, and there was nothing to in- dicate the startling collapse to follow. Then Goodwin brought himself back as stated and immediately met with success. Two perfect deliveries shat- tered the stumps and within 15 min- utes the last flye batsmen had been dismissed for an additional 33 runs,

I liked the following points about the KC.C. work in the field: the efficient wicket-keeping of Jex, who did not concede a bye and made a smart stumping: the neat catches of E C. Fincher, Donald Anderson and Simpson: the consistently good length bowling by Lee, and Goodwin's flourishing finish.

It was Arst-rate half-day cricket.

OF SPORT

(By Our Own Correspondant)

Macaé, Feb. 21.

Largo crowds of spectators as- sembled at the Macao hockey ground which was the scene of much ex- citement when a selection of the plek of the Army teams from Hongkong mel the local eleven in a friendly encounter this afternoon. The result of the match was two'goals to one In favour of Macão.

The game was very even and from the outset play was extremely fast. Macao opened the score after fifteen minutes when Pedrinho Angelo, Macao's versatile centre forward, managed to break through the Army defence and place a neat shot into the net.

The Army equalised five minutes later, Captain Ryland being respon- sible for a brilliant goal. Taken from a difficult angle, the shot was well-timed and amazingly directed through the smallest possible open- ing between the home full back and' goalkeeper.

On the whole the Army gave a good account of themselves and in- dividually left little to be desired. However, the team did not appear have entire understanding and lost opportunities when the forwards held on too long to the ball.

Narom Singh, Inside-left, was very tricky In his dribbling tactics and with Garthwaite and Ryland, was pro- minent in forward line partnerships. The halves gave good support, and the backs cleared neatly. Howlelt displayed splendid custodianship.

The local side was in top form, ond the way in which the forwards time and forced their way through again, gave many anxious moments to the opposing backs. The halves acquitted themselves with quick passing, Alex Airosa at centre being remarkably sure in his tackling. His coolness and unerring distribution was inspiring. Lammert displayed wonderful dependability at left back and with Rosario destroyed many fine movements by the opposition.

Some minutes before the close of the first match with the Tenebroso Clubs when the score stood at one-all, the visitors abandoned the match alleging rough play on the part of their opponents. The second match with Macao's selee- tion resulted in a draw, 1-1.

In response to the invitation of the Hongkong Police, the Macao Follce leam visited Hongkong on February 15. to play a return match. Though they lost to their Hongkong colleag ucs by 7 goals to 2, the local Police thoroughly enjoyed the encounter.

In the match played here on February 18 between the local Foilce and the Macao Lyceum, the schools team suffered a defeat by three goals to nll.

A very fine game was witnessed here yesterday when the cleven of the Royal Engineers, a second division team of the Hongkong Football League, defeated the Macão Artillery by five goals to one.

DAVIS CUP PROSPECTS

BRITAIN HAS A CHANCE

W

(By Fred Perry)

For the London "Morning l'ort"

Pittsburgh, U.S.A. Although we are still in the middle of winter and Davis Cup play does not start until May, overy tennis enthusiast throughout the world is starting to predict the outcome of the 1937 competition. Even though these predictions are somewhat premature, it must be obylous even to a layman follower of the game that the competition will be an extremety, open affair this year. However, I defy anyone to name the winner right now. There are per- haps thirty-two nations trom which to choose, but it is generally agreed, and quite rightly so, that the ultimate winner will be found among Great Britain, United States, Germany, and Australia.

The average man will immediately to have Britain appears say that little chance to defeat any of the other, three. On the face of it, things look that way, but when you examine the matter more closely I think you will agree that the British have as much chance as any of the others.

the During the time in which Davis Cup team was composed of Austin, Hughes and myself, all we had to do was to find a partner for Hughes in the doubles. We were in the same position as the French had been for six years previously, und so none of our so-called "Davis Cup possibilities" thought it worth while to train like mad in an effort to oust one of us, because they knew it was hopeless.

The result was that we found our- selves without anyone actually ready. lo step into the breach in case of trouble. I turned professional and the trouble was there, but it must be remembered that there are still seven months to go before the competition becomes vital as for as Britain is concerned, as they have to play only the challenge round at the end of July. In that time I am positive that someone will come along, even as quickly as I, myself, did six years ago. I look forward confidently to July, knowing that there will be

Budge is certain play one single, and just as cerlain selection of Budge and Mako for the doubles. But they still have to find a suitable player to take care of the second match.

LOCAL YACHTING

CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES HELD

The third Championship series of the Royal Hongkong Yacht Club was sailed on Saturday over a dis- tance of 0.4 miles.

Sailed by Mr. J. A. Kemsley, Aerial won the "H" class race, while "In the "A" class event, Jan (Mr. J. Krogh-Moc) was the winner. Eunice (Capt. G. H. Baird) come in first in the "G" class, and the race for the "I" and "y" classes was won by Widgeon, (Mr. L. Garner)...

but I think that Hunt has the greater possibilities. Perhaps the choice of Hunt would give him that extra con- fidence he needs, and make him into a great player. The same might happen with Riggs, but there is always a danger it might affect them the other way. Both Britain and America have à diMcult problem, but, whereas we, in England, have eight months to make up our minds, the Americans have only another two or three months at the outalde.

Quist has been resting over the winter, and should be in fine feather for the start of the season, while a player like McGrath would make the actual foam in any other country. They have a dine team spirit, these boys, and one worthy of note.

The dark horses of the competition come from Germany in the person- ages of von Cramm and Henkel. They have reached the Inter-Zone final two years in succession, the first year beating Australia and getting within an ace of taking care of the best United States team. Henkel's trouble was that he could not win a match from a winning position, as something always seemed to happen to him. Indeed, a peculiar symptom.
