SPLENDID RECOVERIES

(By "Abo")

Twice postponed by rain, this match will decide whether the Chinese will keep the Shield for the seventh con- secutive year or whether they will have to meet the Indians again in a play-off.

Should the Indians win on Sunday, they will be on level terms with the Chinese, who have not lost a single match in this division for several years
