O c t . 31, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 437 THE ENGLISH TEAM IN AMERICA. P H I L A D E L P H I A C O L T S ’ M A T C H . ( f ir s t op THE TOUK.) Played at W issahickon on Sept. 20, 21 and 23. Colts won b y 186 runs. Arriving in New Tork safely on Mon­ day, September 16, after a rather trying voyage of twelve days, the English cricketers, under the captaincy of B. J. T. Bosanquet, got on safely to Philadelphia the same night. There were consequently three days for practice and sight-seeing before the serious business of the tour was begun. They found the start serious enough, as with nineteen players in the field, and the best of the luck in addition, the Colts proved far too good. Going in first, on a wet and easy wicket, the Colts reached a total of 173. Morris, who made 30 of the first 40, played good, free cricket, and Patton and Sharpless also shaped well. F. S. White, the not out, was in some two hours for his 19. The wicket, as it dried, was very different on the second day. Graham, a slow left-hand bowler, made the full use of it, and Mitchell and Wilson alone mady any stand. Graham not only kept a fair length, but made the ball do a lot, and his analysis of 31 overs for 37 runs and 6 wickets was well deserved. In the second innings of the Colts Morris again showed to great advantage, and Newhall, a son of the veteran cricketer, B. S. Newhall, hit with great resolution. The second innings of the Englishmen was chiefly remarkable for a good display by Mitchell. Otherwise, but for some steady cricket by Harrison, there was nothing worthy of note. Graham, as before, bowled with great judgment and accuracy. In the match he took twelve wickets for 62 runs, and at times he was quite unplayable. P h il a d e l p h ia C o l t s . First innings.

P layed at Philadelphia on Septem ber 27, 28 and 30. Englishm en won b y 61 runs. After a day with the English Athletes at the International Sports in New York, and another on board the “ Erin,” at the invitation of Sir Thomas Lipton, in watching the race between the “ Sham­ rock’ ' and the “ Columbia,” the team turned up at Philadephia on Friday morning, September 27, to begin their second match. The wicket was very rough, and the ball got up very dangerously throughout. King and Clarke, too, the former in particular, both bowled well, and Mitchell and Hollins alone showed to advantage. The former was in nearly two hours for his 32. The latter hit brilliantly all round, and his innings was in every way fault­ less. Lester, who played excellent cricket over here for Haverford College a few years ago, was the most successful of the Philadelphian batsmen. He was caught off the last ball of the first day, having made 46 by very fine cricket. On the second morning More and Bosan­ quet bowled with great effect. The former took three wickets with succeed­ ing balls, 'In? coccrid innings of the Englismen was not so successful as the first. Hollins, who scored twenty off one over of Clarke, again hit finely, and was a second time top scorer. After rain dr.ring the Sunday, the wicket was slow and asy on the third morning, Monday, September 30. Lester once more played fine cric .t, and for a short time, while he was in ith Clark, it looked as if the Philadelphians might win. As it was, Lester found no one to stop with him. To excellent defence he added consider­ able judgment in hitting, and his 73 not out was an exceptionally fine display of sound and judicious batting. M r . B o 8 anquet ’ s X I. First innings.

( t h ik d op t h e t o u r .) P layed at B ayonne, N ew Jersey, on October 2 and 3. E nglishm en w on h y seven w ickets. A rather exciting finish against time was the result of the Englishmen’ s third match, played on the ground of the Knickerbocker Athletic Club, at Bagonne, New Jersey, on October 2 and 3. The New York twelve, who were the first to bat, made a good start, and thanks to Standfast, Prendergast and Dalton, the score at one time was 60 with only two batsmen out. Subsequently Kelly made a useful stand, but the later batsmen found More too much for them. He came out with an excellent analysis of seven wickets for 44, and it was chiefly due to his bowling that the New York team were all out for 143. The English­ men, who had lost five batsmen overnight, completed their innings on the second morning for 168, or 15 ahead. Bosan-
