The composition of the Isling- ton Corinthians football team to visit Hongkong next year has been announced. It is exception- ally strong and includes four English amateur internationals. The remainder of the 15 selected players are all first-class amateur and figure in some of the most important clubs in the country.

One of the most interesting per- sunalities in the team is L/Cpl. S. Eastham of the Army, who in 1930 played for England ugainst Ireland, Scotland

Leicestershire treated Hampshire! in cavaller fashion to-day and won a two-day county cricket match by nine wickets. Leicester's score of 404 made on Saturday proved altogether too much for Hampshire, who were sent back to-day for scores of 180 and 254. Leicester obtained the re- quired 32 runs for the loss of one wicket.

Berry was Leicester's leading run- geller, hitting up 153, and to-day Flamson bowled finely for the win- ners, taking G for 61 in Hampshire's first innings-Reuter.
