THE LONDON CLUBS AT WORK. The H a m p s t e a d C l u b has arranged a card of fifty-seven matches for the present season, including home and home matches with most of the principal metropolitan clubs. The Home week, from July 18 to 23, consists of matches with M.C.C., Ne’er-do-Wells, ClaphamWanderers, Crystal Palace, Hendon, and Surbiton. The tour in the following week includes three two-day matches with Bournemouth, Hampshire Hogs, and South Wilts. About thirty new members have been already elected this summer, amongst whom are some useful 'men, notably G. H. Woodall, A. B. Osmond, and II. R. Hebert. Mr. A. E. Stoddart intends to play as often as first class cricket will permit, and Mr. F. R. Spofforth will assist the club regularly in its Saturday fixtures. C. Boot (Notts), T. Gregory (Notts), and A. Hilton (Sussex) are the ground bowlers. The club opened the season on Wednesday of last week by beating Kensington Park somewhat easily, Mr. A, E. Stoddart contributing 132, and Mr. H. Smilh-Turberville 93 to a total of 270. Mr. A. B. Osmond took (in the two innings of Kensington Park) 6 wickets for 17 runs. The match v. Hendon, on Saturday week, resulted in a draw. Mr. J. G. Q. Besch, 63, Broadhurst Gardens, is the Hon. Secretary. H o r n s e y had as usual two elevens in the field. F. B. Dent’s score of 37 against Wanstead was the best performance of the match. G. H . Swinstead’s 120 not out v. London Scottish .asone of the finest displays of hard hitting ever seen on the Hornsey ground, and included one six, sixteen fours, six threes, ten twos, and twelve singles. C r o y d o n ’ s three matches of the 7th resulted as follows:—Mitcham, at Croydon, drawn; Croydon 130, Mitcham 103 for 8 wickets. Mitcham, at Mitcham, won ; Mitcham 92, Croydon 140. Irenic, won, Irenic 94, Croydon 95 with one wicket to go down. The C r y s t a l P a l a c e ground is all in favour of high scoring, and the home club has been keeping up its character for run- getting. Last Thursday St. Bartholomew’s Hospital had a bad time of it at the Palace. After getting their opponents out for a small total of 20, the Palace went in for a big score of 360. To this, Stanley Colman was the chief con­ tributor with 162. Reigate Hill went to the extent of engaging Lockwood, the Surrey professional, to help them at the Palace on Saturday. Even then, however, they were unable to pull through. Going in against a total of 95, the Palace fared very badly, losing seven wickets for only 35 runs. The Treasurer, A. W. Gardner Woolloton, though, lent C . Mitchell such useful assistance that the number required to win were got before they were parted. In the end the Palace scored 129, Gardner Woolloton carrying out his bat for 28. Mitchell, a left-handed batsman who scores very heavily for the Palace, made 61, one half of the aggregate, by very good cricket. N o r t h b r o o k and the Burlington Wan­ derers were recently matched. The verdict, though,was in favour of the latter by 28 runs, a result due in a great measure to a useful score of 36 by A. E. Gent. C l a p t o n on their own ground had by no means the best of their match against Willes- den. After getting rid of the latter fairly well, they lost four good wickets for 37. F. A. Bishop, who it is said is not going to play for Essex this year, was one of the four Clapton batsmen out, bowled for a duck. Another Clapton team was at Acton opposing Pallingswick. The latter, on the one innings played, had an advantage of 67 runs, scoring 92 to 25. B a r n e s held their own well against the Private Banks at Catford Bridge. B . Hay- Cooper’s 79 was the best feature of the Pm at 3 Banks total of 140. Barnes had rather tli3 best of the draw, as their score at the finish showed 79 for the loss of only two batsmen. W im b l e d o n did some fairly good scoring against Chiswick Park on their own ground. To a total of 148 they responded with 199 for half their wickets. C. W. Aston-Key’s 40 not out, and J. C. Buchanan’s 46, were the chief scores. An even game was the result of the match between U x b r id g e and London Hospital at Uxbridge. There was only a difference of twenty runs on the one innings played, and that was in favour of the local team. W. R. Collins’ 78 for the winners was the highest contribution. The C r o y d o n C l u b was represented by three different elevens on Saturday. The most important fixture, perhaps, was that at Tunbridge Wells, and there the local team, thanks to a good innings of 74, not out, by F. Harrison, had all the best of the game, scoring 128 against totals of 43 and 105. At Norwood the locals were also seen to advantage. Croydon’s 100, to which Biscoe contributed 45, was insufficient, for Norwood had before time made 102 for the loss of only half their wickets, with A. Goodwin, not out, 42. A. S. Johnston (41) and C. J. M. Godfrey (28) were the chief run-getters for G r a n v il l e against Charlton Park. The latter, though, had none the worst of the game at the finish, having scored 97, including 36 not out by H. E. Lawrence, for the loss of three batsmen. G u y ’ s H o s p it a l were not seen to advantage at Streatham. G . Brann’s hittiDg was, as usual, of great use to Streatham. On this occasion he carried out his bat for 60. On the other hand, “ extras 23 ” was the chief contribution to the Hospital’s total of 100. DuTwicngot too long a score against Forest Hill to have any chance of winning. Their aggregate reached 242, of which W. Morris’ share was 75. There was no time to get rid of Forest Hill, and when play ceased the total was 33 with two batsmen out. The match between H a m p st e a d and Hendon on the latter’s ground was most noteworthy for a capital score by W. R. Moon, the Inter­ national goal-keeper, who kept for Middlesex last year. Hampstead after making 154 got six wickets down for 76. But for Moon, who was not out with 45 to his credit, Hendon would have been very near losing. M id d l e s e x H o s p it a l were spared a defeat at the hands of Kensington Park. The latter scored 232, to which It. F. A. Orr was the chief contributor with 88. As five wickets of the Hospital fell for 29 runs a little more time would have been of advantage to the other side. The M a r l b o r o u g h B l u e s took an extra man to Woolwich, and the match against the Academy was played twelve a side. After declaring their innings, at 240for nine wickets, closed, the Blues dismissed the Cadets for 67. S. A, P. Kitcat’s all-round cricket was the feature of the match. In addition to a score of 79 he took seven of the Cadets’ tickets. B l a c k h e a t h had to oppose a fairly strong eleven of M.C.C. and Ground at Blackheath, on Saturday. The bowling of the two Notts men, Richardson and Shacklock, proved too much on a wicket which helped them to some extent, though it was mainly through the former,who took seven wickets for 46 runs, that they were dismissed for 113 runs. Shacklock, who also showed to advantage with the bat, and Carlin, both of whom were not out 37, assisted materially to win the match for M.C.C., with three wickets and just on 70 runs to spare. R ic h m o n d had two strong clubs to meet on Saturday. The first eleven, who visited Beckenham, met with small success at the hands of the local club. Though Richmond were able to make 206Beckenham did not find this too much, scoring 260 for seven wickets. P. Northcote's 113, for Beckenham, was the highest contribution of the match. The Hampstead Nondescripts closed their innings at Richmond with the score at 126 for seven wickets. They failed, however, to get Rich­ mond out in time, and when play ceased the latter had made 78 with four batsmen out.
