On paper the Kimberley eleven appeared to have all the best of the outlook for the second matoh of the tournament, begun on Dec. 29. In the face of the decisive defeat of the Eastern team in the previous match, their chances seemed to be very small, and the result consequently proved a great surprise. Though the Easterns, who won the toss, had to bat first in a drizzling rain, they made a fairly good show. Giddy, Wimble, and Parkin, who had done such excellent service for their side against the Westerns, were again seen to advantage, and of the aggregate of 150, the trio were responsible for as many as 87. The honours of the bowling for Kimberley fell to G. Glover, Finlason, and Cooper, the last of whom took three wickets for 21 runs. When Kimberley went in to bat, everybody was prepared for some high scoring. Tancred and Finlason, of whom most was expected, however* were very un­ lucky, and when the seventh wicket fell with the score only 56, it seemed doubtful whether they would save the follow-on. Beech, how­ ever, found a reliable partner in Lovell, and while these two were together the total was increased by 131 runs. Beech was not caught until he had made 111, a very fine display of free cricket, with only one actual chance when he had scored 48. He made his last sixty runs in fifty minutes. When they entered on their second innings the Easterns were 58 runs to the bad, and at the end of the first day they had wiped off 22 of the number without the loss of a wicket. Though the arrears had on the following morning been cleaned off, when the first wicket fell a rot set in, and when the seventh batsman retired, the telegraph showed only 101 runs. A useful stand by McKeating and Copeland, however, improved matters considerably, and ul­ timately the total reached 150, as in the previous innings. Wanting only 93 to win, it was thought Kimberley had an easy task. Tancred and Finlason, however, were again dismissed without difficulty, and Wimble and Parkin bowled so well that the innings was brought to an unexpectedly early con­ clusion for 72, leaving the Easterns the winners by 20 runs. Wimble and Parkin bowled unchanged throughout Kimberley’s second innings. The latter’s six wickets only cost 25 runs. E astern P r o v in c e . First Innings. C. Britton, b Finlason 11 P. G.

GRIQUALAND WEST (KIMBERLEY). New Year’ s Day saw the commencement of the third and last match of the tournament. The interest in the game was evident from the large attendance, which included a con­ siderable number of ladies. Castens, having won the toss, went in with Cox to bat. Kim ­ berley’sbowling was entrusted to G.Glover and Cooper, and the latter had the satisfaction of getting the chief scorer of the first match caught at short slip for only four runs. Frank Hearae, too, was cheaply dismissed for 12, and so effective was the bowling of Walshe, who took five wickets for 18 runs, that the whole side were got rid of for an aggregate of 111. Kimberley in their turn only fared a little better, as with the exception of Tancred and Finlason, who were responsible for more than half the runs got from the bat, no one could do much against the bowling of Van der Byl and Myddleton. The former in particular proved very effective, taking six wickets in 37 overs, for 56 runs. Going in a'second time, in a minority of 28 runs, the Western made a bad start, losing Castens before he had scored. At the end of the first day they had made 25 for one wicket, and Cox and Dean on the follow­ ing morning added 40 before the former was bowled for a very well-hit 48. Dean played well for his 81, and later on Frank Hearne and P. H. De Villiers both batted in fine style. Hearne cnly gave one possible chance at 30, but Villiers’ dashing score of 51 was marred by two chances. As the second inn­ ings of the Westerns closed for 236, Kimberley were left with 209 to win, but again they fared badly, and the result was never in doubt. Beech and Lovell added 38 for the seventh wicket, and the latter was not out when play ceased on the second night. When the game was resumed, Kimberley still wanted 89 to win, with only their last batsmen to go in. The match was then virtually over, ana with the addition of 6 runs the innings closed, leaving the Westerns the winners by 83 runs. Their victory entitles them to hold the champion bat for the following year. W e st e r n P rovin ce . First Innings. A. E. Cox, lbw, b Walshe 24 H. H.
