"SO I KILLED HIM"
In China, just as we train greyhounds to race, so do the Chinese train cricket* to fight. Often huge sums of 'money, are exchanged when one cricket— -A noted match-winner —is sold. Once in Hongkong a man, brought up for murder, was asked why he had killed the murdered man—an old friend—and his answer shocked the judge. “ Because I wanted his champion cricket!” answered the man. Yes,_ they take their sport that seriously in China.—' BUG.*, in 1 Answers,’ London.
