Shanghai, July 14.
Causing about the greatest surprise fof the current cricket season the East Surreys gave the SCC, Nomads the shock of their lives on the S.C. ground yesterday afternoon in a Teague engagement and deservedly wont a fairly high-scoring game by the convincing margin of '89 runs. The soldiers, batting first, knocked up AIG for nine wickets declared and then after tea retired the Nomads in 24 hours for 157 runs. This victors marks the initial success of the East Surreys this season though they came close last week when they tied with the Wanderers. On the other hand the Nomads after three encounters still ind themselves pointless and any chance they might have had of being the Kill for the title has gone by the board.
gatwell took the honours yesterday with a very bright knock of 93 which he scored in og many minutes, He never seemed hurried, always had plenty of time in which to play his strokes and was a trifle unlucky not to have secured three figures. He dominated the soldiers' innings and score his runs out of 116 recorded during his stay at the crease. Worsfold scored well towards the end of the Army innings.
