Me. H . 11. T w e e n , whilom Captain of the Ongar Club and gome time ago identified with Woodford Wells and the Essex County Cricket Clubs, who is now located in Sydney, has kindly furnished me with the particulars of a very note­ worthy performance of the crack Aus­ tralian bowler, C. T. B. Turner, on the 30th of April. The match was between the Carlton and Albert Clubs, and was the wind up of senior cricket in Sydney for the season. The wicket was dead, and Turner, who revels in a ground where the ball does anything, made full use of it. None of the Albert team were able to shape at all against his bowling. The break he got on, says my informant, wo w 55 s one of the Carlton eleven, with McfDonnell and A. C. Bannerman aercys o his mates, was most extra­ ordinary, and he had the satisfaction of being mainly instrumental in the dis­ missal of the Albert team for 10, of which two were extras—the smallest total, it is believed, ever recorded on the Association Ground at Sydney. T h e innings, I may add, only lasted half an hour, and, Turner’s analysis showed 42 balls for 3 runs and 7 wickets. As a matter of fact only two runs were actually scored from his bowling, as Robinson, one ol the Carltonians, in throwing in the ball knocked the wicket down, and the Alberts obtained a run therefrom. On the previous Saturday, against the Belvidere Club, Turner obtained five wickets at a cost of seven runs, so that it will be seen he has brought a season of extraordinary suc­ cess to a close with quite a flourish of trumpets. Me. C y r il W il s o n , the Captain of the Staten Island Cricket Club, New York, well known to many CRiCKET-readers by virtue of his connection some years ago with Somersetshire cricket and the Mary­ lebone and Surrey Clubs, is organising a team of American cricketers from Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and Baltimore, to visit the West Indies during next winter—in fact, he has already such a strong “ back-bone ” to the team that he considers it easy to complete it. They propose to start from New York about the middle of December and will probably visit Antigua, Barbados, Demerara, Trinidad and Jamaica, perhaps in the order named. The Committee of the Georgetown Cricket Club has been asked to arrange their programme for them. S om e months ago I stated that there was every possibility of a team of West Indian cricketers visiting England next summer. Mr. Guy Wyatt, the captain of the Georgetown Club, who loses no chtace that can conduce to the develop­ ment of cricket in the West Indies, and is consequently the moving spirit in this particular matter, informs ijie that advantage will be taken of the oppor­ tunity afforded by the visit of Messrs. E. F. Wright and P. T. L. Henery, the well-known Cambridge and Middlesex cricketer of a year or two ago, who is now a prominent member of the George­ town Club, to England next summer to make the necessary arrangements. A C r ic k e t - reader from the West writes— Is not the following a cricket curiosity? In a match at Crewkerne on June 11, between Axminster and Crewkerne, B. L. Gerrish in the first innings of Axminster scored 60 runs out of a total of 52, and was not out. There were 2 extras in the innings, to wit—1bye and 1 leg bye, so that his 50 were the only runs made from the bat, all the other members of the team obtaining the unenviable “ duck.” It is a cricket curio, beyond a doubt.
