H.K.C.C. AND SERVICES IN ANNUAL MATCH

It was not a very pleasant day for cricket when the annual Chinese Now Year game against the Services was begun just after two on Saturday afternoon, though the weather improved consider- ably later. In the Club side there was only one change, Baker coming in for Haymes who could not get away.

SCOTS' ATTACK

UNABLE TO SETTLE DOWN

FUNG KING-CHEUNG AND CHAN TAK-FAI SHINE

(By "Abo")

After holding China in the first half of the game, Scotland cracked up in the second, following an carly goal, and were finally defeated by three goals to nil in the Sunday Herali International charity match, at Caroline Hill yesterday afternoon. China thus earned the right to meet England in the final.

Although the Chinese forward line always maved a little better than the Scots both defences played up to form and exchanges were fairly even in the first period; in the second half, however, there was no doubt that the Chinese were the better team. On several occasions they were attacking the Scottish roal continuously, and only luck- and a few timely interceptions by Duncan-prevented it from more than three times.

A POOR START

Man and Hutley opened to Baker and Owen-Hughes but with nine runs on the board Hutley got in front of a straight one from Baker. Ogle was in first wicket and I admit I thought he was rather too adventurous a bat for that position but he showed ad- mirable restraint and the two bats- men started to wear down the bowl- ing. Both played well but Man was fucky once twice with fours through the slips which though they were all along the ground were, I think, In- tended for a different locality. It was not until the score had reached sixty that McLellan bowled Man with a good one, 40-2-35. Possibly Baker was not kept on too long but, with
