C bic k e t is the only paper in the world solely devoted to the game appearing regularly during the Winter months. Uatfrxlimt <$0sstp, 2Fh* abstract and brief ohronlcl. of th« time.— S a m lt i, I f the performance of the great Austra­ lian batsman, J. J. Lyons, in celebration of the opening of the searon, is to be taken as an indication of what he has in store during the next few months, some of the English bowlers who have accom­ panied Mr. Stoddart to the Antipodes will, in all probability, have a bad quarter of an hour of it occasionally. The local team against whom he played at the Summer- town ground, on September 3, had a warm time of it all round, having a total of 523 scored off them in a little under four hours. Lyons and Jarvis together con­ tributed 281 of the number. The former, in particular, was in his very best vein. He could hardly have given a more striking proof of his capacities as a hitter. His score of 189 was got in an hour and forty minutes, which is about as tall a performance as even he, gentlest of gentle tappers, has ever accomplished. I t is interesting, too, to note that Jarvis’ wicket-keeping was as successful as his batting. Three of the local team were dismissed, and for the dismissal of all the trio JarviB was responsible. There is a good old-time flavour about the score of this same match, as it appeared in the Adelaide Observer, which seems to invite its reproduction. The omission of the bowlers’ names takes one back in thought to the earliest days of cricket. J. J. Lyons, c Caust 188 W. Griffiths, M.P., c L ea k ........................31 A. H.

India, as most C bicket readers know, has two keen cricketers occupying the most responsible positions, in Lord Wenlock the Governor of Madras and Lord Harris the Governor of Bombay. The two Governors, following the example, no doubt, of the other “ Guv’nor” of Surrey fame, went in first for Ganeshkind against the Bombay Gymkana, on September 24. Lord Harris was master of the situation for a long time, and his 92 was, at least so the papers say, his largest score of the season. The incident was so far unique, as it is said to be the first time in the history of cricket in India that two Governors have played in the same match on the same side. E ig h t of the eleven amateur cricketers who accompanied Lord Hawke on his recent trip to America, reached South­ ampton yesterday week, certainly none the worse for their tour. The captain and his lieutenant, Mr. C . W. Wright, did not return home with the rest, but proceeded instead to Jamaica. Messrs. Hill and Lucas have also stayed on the other side for a time, having gone to Canada after the completion of the last match. T h e double defeat of the Gentlemen of Philadelphia was a bitter disappoint­ ment to cricket enthusiasts in that city, as was only natural after the consistently fine form some of the more prominent of the Philadelphian cricketers had been showing just previously. In some respects it must be admitted the Philadelphians had the worst of the luck, more especially in the second match, where winning the toss was of no small importance. On the other hand, mistakes in the field were to a great extent responsible for their failures, and in this department they contrasted very unfavourably with the English team. S t il l , it is gratifying to know that from a financial, as well as a social standpoint, the result of the tour was satisfactory to its promoters. The English amateurs not only made a very favourable impres­ sion by their all-round cricket, which was distinctly superior to that of the last com­ bination taken by Lord Hawke to America, but also by an absence of side," which seemed, to judge by their expressions, to be a surprise to some of the critics. One satisfactory feature of the two fixtures in Philadelphia was the large attendance. This was the more noticeable in the second match, as the N EX T ISSUE NOVEMBER 29
