Hankow Defeats Team

From "Shanghai"

Hankow, Sept. 25.

For the second year in succession the annual interport cricket match between Skanghai and Hankow has been played between local teams.

In years past the visit of a Shanghai team to Hankow has been the highlight of the cricket season, but owing to the hostilities the match has resolved itself into a game between local members of the Shanghai Cricket Club and Hankow cricketers, supplemented by members of the British Navy.

Hankow won this year, but Parson, former Shanghai interport player, contributed over half a century for Shanghai.

On both Saturday and Sunday air raid alarms were sounded, but the game continued and no Japanese aeroplanes appeared.—Reuter.
