O ct . 27, 1898. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OE THE GAME. 451 MR. WARNER’S TEAM IN CANADA AND THE STATES. THE MONTREAL AND OTTAWA MATCH. FIRST OF THE TOUR. Played at Montreal on September 8 and 9. Mr. Warner’s Team won by 88 runs. With hardly any time to get used to theirsurroundings, theEnglishmenbegan this match on a wicket which had be^n txposed to plenty of rain on the previous day, and tbus handicapped they did not give a startling exhibition of batting. It was but natural that the Canadians, unused to playing in such an important match, should have been nervous in the field, as they afterwards were when bat­ ting. Th9 bowling of Boyes and Godwin was excellent; although the former met with verybad luck. The only noteworthy innings played by an Englishman was the 28 byMitchell. Against the bowling of Bosanquet and Penn the Canadians did not shape very well. W. E. Gilbert, who was once well known in English cricket, was in a long time for 8 ; Ackland made a few good hits in his 20 ; and Bell, who carried his bat for 19, was the only one of the tail who was not greatly bothered by Winter’s lobs. The Englishmen had a lead of 48 runs in the first innings. With six runs on the board for no wickets in the second innings of the visitors, the light became so bad that stumps were drawn for the cay. On the secondmorn­ ing the wicket was still heavy, and low scoring was the ordtr of the day. Burnup, with 34, was the only English­ man who played up to his reputation. The Canadians had to make 153, but found the bowling of Penn, Bosanquet, and Winter far too good for them. M r. W a r n e r ’ s T e a m . First innings. Second innings. P . F .

Mr. Warner’s team won by an innings and 140 runs. On an eas>y wicket, against a team which was very weak in bowling, the Englishmen batted in a style which must have given their opponents many wrinkles. But despite the poor bowling the fielding was on the whole good, and did not become careless. The home team seemed to lose heart when at lunch time the score had risen to 82 for two wickets, and long before the end of the day their hopes of winninghad fled. When stumps were drawn the score was 372 for seven wickets, Burnup and Warner having broken the back of the bowling, giving Mitchell and Sewell an opportunity of making hay of what was left of it. Although the tail did not do anything remarkable, the total of the innings, which was brought to a conclusion on the second morning, was very large. When the Canadians went in they, for the most part, fell a victim to the bowl­ ing of Ainsworth, who had a fineanalysis. Chambers and Lyon batted well. In the follow-on an excellent start was made by Marshall and Goldingham, who put up about 60 for the first wicket. Lyon again batted well, but the tail collapsed, and the Englishmen won very easily. Penn and Lee were not able to play in this match, the former being in the Isolation Hospital with scarlet fever, and the latter suffering from tonsilitis. M r . W a r n e r ’ s E l e v e n . P. F.

PHILA­ DELPHIANS. THIRD MATCH Or THE TOOK. PlayedatWissahiekon, onSeptember16and17 Mr. Warner’s teamwonby 8 wickets. It was unfortumtte that the weather turned out badly before the match began, for the wicket was so much in favour of the bowlers that chance had more than its fair siare in the giine. Although the Philadelphians bad to put several new men in their team they seemed fairly confident of being able to hold their own, and as far as tbe first day’s play was concerned they had none the worst of the game. When theywent in afterwinning the toss, they made a particularly bad start, losing three wickets for six runs only. It is possible that the batsmen quite misjudged the state of the wicket, it looked very much easier than it really was. The bad beginningwas not followed up by any good play, and the fourth wicket fell at 24, the fifth at 32, the sixth at 46, and the seventh at 49. The out­ look looked hopeless. Fortunately King came to the rescue of his side, playing a very fine defensive innings, and as the last man quickly knocked up a few runs, the total was not so very bad after all. Ainswoith and Bosanquet were the suc­ cessful bowlers, the former quite baffling most of the batsmen. The wicket rolled out fairly well, and Warner and Mitchell put on 44 before they were parted ; they made the bowliDg look very easy. Warner was the first to go, ar:d then a rot set in with severity. By the end of the day eight wickets were down for 79. On the next morning the remaining two wickets quickly fell, for an additional 5 runs, and then the home team quite unexpectedly had a lead of ten runs. The second innings was watched with almost feverish excitement. The first wicket put on 19. Then the fortune of the game beganto incline rapidlytowards the Englishmen, who, thanks to Ains­ worth’s accurate and difficult bowling, and diffident batting by the Phila­ delphians, had matters all their ownway. The total only came to 59 so that the visitors had to make 70 to win, a task which they accomplished with ease. The wicket-keeping of Bray and Scatter- goodwas beyondreproach inbothinnings.
