FEB CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. urner o Blackham’s hands. Abel played dmirablyf or his 28. Sharpe kept up his end while Attewell scored, though the latter had a life at 144, Giffen dropping achance in the slips. Turner then changed ends, and Atte­ well was well caught by Donnan behind the wicket. The Australians thus won by 54 uns. It was a splendid match, and I really think he best side won. Though scarcely so strong in bowling they were stronger all round, having sounder and more defensive battiig, while there was little to choose in the fielding. A u str alia . First Innings. A.

ELEVENTH MATCH.—X II. OF ENGLAND v. EAST MELBOURNE XVI. M e lb o u r n e , J a n u a r y 7 and 8. F ir s t D a y .— T h u rs d a y , J a n u a ry 7. Play in the great match against Australia lasting until Jan. 5th, gave the English­ men very little time for rest, for on January 7 they began a match with East Melbourne on the East Melbourne Cricket Ground. This time the teams were twelve against sixteen. H. F. Boyle, who will be remembered as the manager of the Seventh Australian Team in England, captained the local men, and won the toss from Dr. Grace. The feature of the early part of the innings was the bowling of Briggs, and the way the ball was hit into Attewell’s hands at mid-off. Six wickets had gone for 40 runs, Attewell catching three all off Briggs. The eighth wicket—Carter and Laver—made a good stand, and after Laver left Carter continued to hit in right merry style. Briggs at last got one past him, and he retired for a well made 55. Nothing further occurred until Boyle and Steel came together, and they made a bit of a stand, and the innings closed for 177—a respectable total, consideri ng that all the cracks had failed. In the few minutes to play Peel and Radcliffe were got rid of, and the total was 15 for two wickets. S econ d D a y .— F r id a y J an u ary 8. When the game was resumed Laver and Letcher still continued to do damage, and five wickets.were down for 55. Abel then partnered Stoddart, and they were together when luncheon time came, the score then being 85. Shortly afterwards Stoddart was got rid of by a splendid catch. Read did not stay, but M’ Gregor hit out, and with Abel brought the total very close up to their opponents. Then Abel was caught at mid-on for 50. He played in good style, though he gave two chances at the wickets. M’ Gregor also was lucky, but before he went he made the winning hit. Briggs was caught at the wickets, and Attewell was run out, leaving the Doctor not out. The total was 201, and they won the match by 24 runs. East Melbourne played out time, and lost two wickets for 35 rui.s. Briggs’ bowling got most wickets, but Lohmann bowled best for the visitors. Letcher was the most successful bowler for East Melbourne, Laver and Boyle each got two, and Costelloe one wicket. E ast M elbou rn e S ix t e e n . First Innings. S. Deane, b Lohmann 5 S.

OF M e l b o u r n e , J a n u a r y 9 th a n d 1 1 th . F ir s t D ay — S atu rd ay , J a n u a r y 9. The two-dajs’ match against Sixteen of the South Melbourne Club was looked forward to with a great deal of interest. The South Melbourne, which is the second largest club in Victoria, has a capitally-appointed ground of its own, numbering in the ranks several players of inter-colonial calibre, including Dr. Barrett and Trott, of the last Australian Eleven. It can be seen at a glance that on paper it was no light task to tackle sixteen players. A grand wicket had been prepared by Sam Morris, an aboriginal, who is not only curator of the ground, but one of the best and most popular players in Victoria. The match was begun on Saturday, January 9, in perfect weather, and in the presence of about 4,000 people. Dr. Barrett captained South Melbourne, and a suggestion from him no doubt influenced the attendance. It was that the great master should not bat until after luncheon, so that people who had to work until one o’clock could bave the pleasure of seeing him batting. Dr. Grace is spelling his crack bowlers, who have all had a great deal to do lately, and to-day it was Attewell’s turn, and very glad Dick was to see a whole game from the Pavilion. The English skipper having won the toss, of course deputed the other side to fit-Id, and a fine time they had there, and no mistake. Stoddart and Abel opened the proceedings. The amateur was in a very contented frame of mind, and laid the wood about in grand style, especially on the leg side. Abel was not so much at home, and, after half an hour’s ineffective batting, snicked a ball into the wicket­ keeper’s hands (one for 33). Stoddart con­ tinued to go ahead after Bean arrived, while the latter for a time was content with singles. Harry Trott and Owen relieved Kemp and Marshall, and Stoddart immediately hit one to leg for 4, and made a cut which produced a similar number. With 75 up, however, his brilliant innings was terminated by a catch at long-slip. He was only at the wickets an hour and a quarter. Another productive partnership was that of Bean and Read. The latter had only made 9 when he was let off at slip, and soon after the same fieldsman—Kemp—missed Bean, who had then made 30, but the latter was a hard chance. This was the only chance Bean gave. Ha made some splendid drives, and one grand straight drive clean out of the play­ ing ground, which gave him 5 runs. His cover hit was blocked, with the result that many hard hits were stopped, and eventually an uppish one was smartly caught (three for 125). Radcliffe was in no sort of form. Ho gave one chance, which was not accepted, hit up 15, and then tried to make six more in one hit, but only skied the ball, which fell into safe hands. Read was not playing his most vigorous game, and Lohmann, who joined him, went to work so briskly that he looked like overhauling the dashing Maurice. He began by hitting a ball over the fence ; another saw Read, who had made 38, let off again. At 209, after the afternoon tea adjournment, the two Surrey men went for a very short run, and the younger one had his brilliant innings suddenly cut short. The champion came next, and opening with 3. his next big hit should have ended his innings, but Freeman could not hold the ball, and 4 resulted. The next hit from the champion’s bat went out of the ground, so that his score read at the start 3, 4, 5, double figures in three smacks. At 238 he lost Read, who let out at and missed a ball, being S for six wickets. S econd D ay ,— M on d ay , J a n u a r y 11, Again was a fine day, and 2,000 people were present. Dr. Grace added 23, chiefly by pretty cutting, and then at 331 a bad stroke deposited NEXT ISSUE MARCH 24
