Scheme S ir ,—Though the new county championship conditions cover a good deal of ground, they do not appear to state how tie-matches shall be reckoned. I assume that the framers of the scheme would not classify a tie as an “ un­ finished game,” and therefore ignore it.— Yours, etc., C.P. I have reason to believe that Surrey has already offered a suggestion in this direction. The Committee have proposed not only what are to be first-class matches shall be that settled before they are played, but that tie matches shall be recognised as finished games. LOED HAWKE’S TEAM IN AMERICA. At noon on Saturday September 8 Loid Hawke’s Team of Amateur Cricketers lefL Southampton in the Steamer New York ” fo* a brief tour in America and Canada. The ■voyage out, if uneventful of itself, was remark­ able for the fact that the “ New York ” made the quickest passage from Southampton up-to- date, beating its own record, the previous best The team, who went out under the auspicies o the Merion and Germantown Clubs of Phila­ delphia, consisted of the following twelve. Lord Hawke (Yorks.) G. P. BarJewell (Lance.) L.C. V.Bathurst (Mddx ) G. W. Hi'lyard (Leices.) A. J. L. Hill (Bants.) K. McAlpine (Kent) , F. 8. Lucas ( Uddi.) j G. J. Moidaunt (Oxford Umverisity, ! J. S. Robinson (Notts.) i C. De Jrafford (Leicet.) W. F. Whitwell (D’nm.) C. W. Wright (Notts.) THE FIRST MATCH—v. NEW YORK. The team commanced their tour in America ai)d Canada at New York. The match, which was played on the ground of the Staten Island C.C., began on September 17, and was limited to that one day in conse­ quence of the unfavourable weather. The grass was so long when the Englishmen arrived on the ground that Lord Hawke suggested that it should be cut again. Even then the wicket was dead, and F. G. Payne, the New York captaip, when he won the tosp, elected to put the Englishmen in again. The tour had a disastrous commencement, as with the very first ball sent down Cobb bowled De Trafford. Hill, who went in with him, however, played sound cricket, and at the luncheon interval he had scored 58 of the total of 108. Bobinson was the first bats­ man to lend him any real assistance, and the score was 170 before Hill, who had made 99 without a mistake, was bowled. Subsequently Hillyard and Bathurst scored fast, and still later Bathurst and Bard swell gave even a more vigorous display, adding 52 by free and attractive cricket. With the close of the Englishmen’s innings play ceased for the day, and as heavy rain prevented any play on the following day the match was left un­ finished, with only one innings completed. F. F. Kelly, who took five of the ten wickets, played for the Stoics and other Metropolitan clubs some ten years ago. L ord H aw k e ’ s T e a m . Mr.C. E. De Trafford, b Co'^b ................. 0 Mr. A.

The second match of the tour, begun on the ground of the Merion Club in Philadelphia on Friday, September 21, was concluded on the following Monday. On the opening day there was not a very large crowd present, but a strictly fashionable gathering of 5000, nearly half of whom were ladies, viewed the match. The ground, from rccent heavy rains, did not permit of tall scoring, and Lord Hawke secured the chief honours by a rather lutky innings of seventy- eight. The fielding of the home team, which at one time was clean and quick, was spoiled by the chances missed in the deld, and in this respect it compared very unfavourably with the tine exhibition seen at New York. Lord Hawke won the toss, and at 11.40 sent in A. J. L. Hill aLd C. E. de Trafford to face the bowling of J. S. King and H. P. Bailey. A bad stait was made, as with only five runs scored the Leicestershire cricketer was dismissed by King. Three of the best batsmen were out for 15 when Lord Hawke and Mr. Hill became partners. Lord Hawke, who was badly missed in the long field when he had got twelve, scored more rapidly than his partner, and several changes were made in the bowling before Hill, who had plajed most carefully for twenty-five, was caught in the slips. He had been batting ninety minutes G J. Mordaunt joined Lord Hawke, who soon had fifty to his credit, and 100 went up after one hour and forty minutes’ play. With the total at 111, a fine catch at short leg by G. S. Patterson produced the downfall of the Oxonian, who had contributed six, and an adjournment was then taken for luno .eon. L. C. V. Bathurst resumed with Lord Hawke, and the latter gave two more chances before he was at last caught at cover point. Bathurst, who carried out his bat for 34, was the only one of the remaining batsmen who did much, and the innings eventually closed for 187. Bailey bowled wonderfully well, securing seven wickets for 65 runs. L ord H a w k e ’ s T e a m . First Innings. A. J. L. Hill, c Wood, b King .................................£5 C.

The return match between the Gentlemen of Philadelphia and Lord Hawke 3 eleven was begun on the grounds of the German- town Club on Friday, September 28.

The only chaDge in the Philadelphian team was the substitution of H. I. Brown for W. \y Noble- Patterson unfortunately hurt one NEXT ISSUE NOVEMBER 29
