A ug . 9, 1900. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME 32? T H E W E S T INDIAN TEAM. THE LIVERPOOL AND DISTRICT MATCH. FIFTEENTH OF THE TOUR. Played at Aigburth. Liverpool, on August 2, 3 and 4. Drawn. The weather was so bad during part of this match that there w<is practically no chance of finishing it. Thanks chiefly to a first-class ionings 1y Mr. Bproston and another by Mr. Cox, the W est Indians made a f f ’rly good total when they won the toss. But in Mr. Cecil Holden they found a batsman who could not be disposed of for a very long time, and they only ended the first innings with 46 to their credit. There was only three hours and a half left for play when they went in the second time, and although they made runs quickly in the hope of beiDg able to win, th y coul I not get any of their opponents’ wickets down when they declared their innings closed, Mr. Pilking­ ton and Mr. Holden both playiog fine cricket.

Marl­ borough, it is only natural that new corners should be somewhat diffident when they have to appear in public before their sisters and aunts. Thanks to some excellent batting by N. C. Phillips, who made most of liia runs by drives and cuts, Marlborough made a very good show on a soft wicket, and the sc »ie of 148 was not by any means to be despised. There was nothing remarkable in the bowling, but Tapp, fast right-hand, who went on first change was more successful tha i his companions. There was only time for Rugf y to make 14 without losing a wicket when the rain came down, and stopped play for the day. On the next morning Rugby fought under difficulties. Ihe bowling was well managed aud the only two men who could make any headway against it were Dillon and Henderson, the two members of last year’s eleven. When Marlborough went in again with a lead of 39, which looked particularly useful, the bowlers carried everything before them. Things were looking about as bad as they could be when Thorburn, the last man, came in to join McCaw, for nine wickets were d >wn for 78 But in these school matches the last few batsmen are often the beat and most plucky player8 in the team. Thorburn, a very small boy, who batted with a8 much coolneas as did E. M. Dowaon in hia first match for Harrow, kept up his wicket while his partner hit fearleasly. A8 a result of this combination the 8Core was increased by 72 runs in three-quarters of an hour. Thus Rugby, instead of having a very easy task, had to make 190 runs in two hours and twenty minutea. Last year, in their second innings, they made the mistake of pot­ tering about instead of playing their usual game, but they had profited by the lesson which they then learned, and Dillon and Cruikshank did not let the grass grow under their feet. From the first they played to win In an hour and a quarter they brought the score to 100, and before they were parted it was 147. Cartright, who followed Cruik­ shank, ably assisted his captain, and the runs were knocked off at a quarter to seven. Dillon carried his bat for a splendid inninga of 110, which included thir­ teen 4’s ; his cutting was admirable. It reed hardly be said that the Marlborough boys did not attempt to waste time by lazily taking up their places at the end of an over, or by any other methods which are often put in practice; on the contrary, they hastened a~> if it was a question of winning themselves; it is not the custom of either of the schools to try to gain an advantage by any but the most scrupulously honour­ able methods.

Played at Southampton on August 2, 3 and 4. Kent won by an innings and 30 runs. W ith so many of their best men still away, Hamp­ shire had the worst of the luck in this match, and could hardly have hoped to win unless the weather came to their assistance.

RUGBY v. MARLBOROUGH. Played at Lord’s on August 1 and 2. Rugby won by nine wickets. In last year’s match Rugby had a giant to contend with in the person of R. H. Spooner, and suffered accordingly. They had the pleasure of completely turning the tables on their opponent* this year, possessing themselves a giant in E. W. Dillon, who dwarfed all the rest of the players on either side. Dillon might have done something last year to save his side, if fate had not decided againBt him ; this year he could do nothing wrong. The match was played in unpleasant weather on a wicket which was very con­ siderably affected by rain. On the first day no play took placj until the afterno n was well advauced, and stumps had to be drawn early, but on the second day a full day’s cricket was enjoyed, though the weather was cold and unprofitable.
