The first five 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 Two perfect deliveries shut- Success, tered the stumps and within 15 min- utes the last five batsmen had been dismissed for an additional 33 runs.

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

It was Arst-rate half-day cricket.

Shanghai, Feb. 20. The possibilities of an inter- port Rugby football match be- tween. the Tientsin Rugby Football Club and the Shanghai Rugby Union Football Club in Shanghai over the Easter holi- days was revealed yesterday.

Although we are still in middle of winter and Davis Cup May. play does not start until every tennis enthusiast throughout the world in starting to predlet the outcome of the 1937 competidos. Even though these predictions are somewhat, premature, it must be obvious.even to a layman follower of the game that the competition will be an extremely open affair this year. However, I defy anyone to name the winner right now. There are per- tops thirty-two, nallons from which to choose, but it is generally agreed, and quite rightly ko, that the ultimate winner will be found among Great Britain, United States, Germany, and Australia.

The average man will immediately say that Britain appears to have ile chance to defeat any of the olher three. On the face of 1, things look that way, but when you examine the matter more closely I think you will agree that the British have as much chance ass any of the others.

During the time in which Davis Cip team was composed of Austin, Hughes and myself, all we partner for had to do was to find Hughes in the doubles. We were in the same position as the French had been for six years previously, and 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 in case of to step into the breach 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 far as Britain is concerned, as they have to play only the challenge round at the end of positive time I am July. In that that someone will come along, even as quickly as I, myself, did six years ngo. 1 look forward confidently to July, knowing that there will be someone to fight to keep that Cup in just the same way we fought to keep it in the last three years.
