CAROLINE HILL SIDE SCORES TEN GOALS

It must be a long time since one team beat another by ten goals to nil in a First Division soccer match in Hongkong.

INTERPORT CRICKET TRIAL ON SATURDAY A VERY DULL AFFAIR

Depressing Batting Against Apparently Weak Bowling

(By "R. AbbU"}

The Interport Trial which was played at the I.R.C. ground on Saturday afternoon was a dull affair and to make matters worse, C.M.M. Man met with a very nasty accident which will completely prevent him from taking part in the further trials. There were also a couple of changes as Whitmarsh was absent on duty and E. L. Gorane was also unable to turn out. A. R. Abbas filled one of the places. Actually twelve a side had been picked.

more Nothing could have been funereal than the opening stand by Kilbee and Man. Some statistic'an informed me that they had taken maike ten and, forty minutes to though I don't think it was as bad as all that I got very tired of it. Admittedly the bowling of Tufnell and Leckie

was very steady but they should not have been allowed to end down eleven overs for nine runs! Leckie was the better of the two, and span the ball well. The wicket, as I was informed by several players, was slow and grew harder as the game went on.
