THE WEST OF SCOTLAND MATCH. T W E N T Y -T H IR D O F T H E TO U R . Played at Glasgow on August 8 and 9. South Africans won by 180 runs. Recent rains had made the wicket somewhat deceptive, and the Souih Africans found considerable difficulty in getting runs. Mr. Burnett, who was put on as second change, was remarkably successful with the ball, getting rid of five batsmen for 16 runs. But even the moderate score made by the South Africans proved far loo laige for the home team, who, at the close of the firist day’s play, had only made 85 for nine wickels, both Mr. Sinclair and Mr. Rowe bowling wonderfully well. On the next mornirg the last wicket waH not disposed of until the total had teen taken to 111. A fine innings by Mr. B C. Cooley, and good cricket by other members of the team gave the South Africans a lead of 231, and Mr. Sinclair being in splendid form with the ball, the "West of Scotland were quite out of the running.

Played at Bath on August 7 and 8. M.C.C. won by an innings and 53 runs. In this match tie Dutchmen met a useful lob bowler in Major Bethune, with the result that they were altogether at sea against him. In the course of th® match he took sixteen wickets, including the whole ten in the second innings, for 29 runs. On the second morning he dsposed of no fewer th«n seven •f the Dutchmen for two runs. As the Dutchmen have had no practice against lots, it was not at all surpiising that they should have failed so badly against them, for lobs are insirious things in the hards of a man who understands how to use Ihem against inexperienced players. The M.C.C. did nothing remarkable in the way of batting. G entlem en o f H o llan d . First innings. Second innings. J. C. Fchroder, b Grant ...16 lbw. b Betbune .. 2 A.

Gentlemen of Surrey won by an innings and 38 runs. • Although the County team was playing at Canter­ bury, Surrey can always get together a lot of young amateurs who can give a remarKably good account of the towlingwhen it is not quite up to first-class form, and nearly every man wno played against the Dutchmen was well-known in club cricket as a likely customer to make runs. It is almost essential for the success of a touring team that its captain should nearly always win the toss when it is of advantage to do so, and lose it when it either does not matter, or when it is just as well that the captain of the other side should have the responsibility of deciding whether to go in first or not. The Australian cap­ tains have been very fortunate in this way, except dining the few times when they have done badly. At the Oval on Friday last, the Dutch captain lost thetoss, and as the wicket was good, Suriey, of course, chose first innings. Mr. Posthuma bowled exceed­ ingly well, and for the moat part the batsmen could not make much of him. Unfortunately for the Dutchmen, Mr. Eglington and Mr. Gillett were among the three men who could make runs, and they put on 151 runs for the second wicket. By the time they were parted much of the de^il in the bowling had been taken away, but there was not another long stand. Still Mr. Gillett could not be induced to make a mistake, after he had once been missed with his score at about a hundred, and it was not until he had teen batting for four hours and three quarters that he was disposed of ; he hit a six, a five and 21 fours. Qired with their long outing the Dutchmen had three quarters of an hour’s batting before stumps were drawn, and lost five wicketslfor 33 runs, which was very bad. On the following day the lsst five wickets only add=d 60 runs. But in their follow-on the Dutchmen did really well. "When the total was 6, Mr. Feith and Mr. Schroder came together and added 115 fer the second wicket. Mr. Fe th batted very nicely. Mr. Schroder was not disposed of until he had made 116 in two hours and a half. He showed great promise and only made a few poor strokes; his innings included a 9 (4 for an overthrow) and sixteen 4’8. The last wicket was a surprise packet, for Mr. Posthuma, a man of great strength, who hit very hard and well, and his fine innings of 63 included twelve 4’s. G e n tle m e n P.
