Sandilands (20, Cowley Street, Westminster, S.W .), the old Association footballer, is hon. sec. of U p p e r T o o t ik g C.C., which is now in its forty first season, and a strong card he has arranged for 1898. F. G. Thorne, J. A . Lyon, D. C. Bartley, and R . M. Harvey are to assist him in selecting the teams. Out­ side the Surrey clubs, the most important of which are to be met. Upper T oo- ting’s chief of ponents will be Plaistow, University College Hospital, Kensington Park, Hornsey, H ighgate School, Crystal Palace, Blue Mantles, Rev. H. C. Tin­ dall’s Eleven, Beckenham, Surrey Club and Ground, M.C.C. and Ground, and Incogniti as usual. Upper Tooting has nine days cricket at home, commencing on July 28 and extending to Saturday, August 6. The seven matches so far fixed are against Blue Mantles, Surrey Club and Ground, Richmond, Streatham, M.C.C. and Ground, Incogniti (two days), and Beckenham. There is a vacancy on the card for Friday, August 5. In addition there is a three days’ tour in the South on July 11, 12 and 13. The second match has yet to be arranged. W. B. Sides, of Notts, is the head ground- man with F. Worger, of Sussex, the second bowler. Upper Tooting had a very successful season last year, playing 41 matches, winning 24, losing 8, and drawing 9. As most of the players of 1897 are available, it is hoped the success will be continued. As will be seen, the club has two fixtures (one whole and one half day) every Saturday, and an occasional mid-week match. APRIL. 30. Tooting, v. Plaistow MAY. 7. Crystal Palace, v.
