Of the 13,649 innings commenced by Sussex batsmen 1,508 have been un­ finished, the difference— 12,141— being the number of wickets lost b y the county. Sussex has scored 195,746 runs from the bat and received 10,232 extras, giving an aggregate number of runs obtained by the county of 205,978. These totals agree with those at the foot of Tables 3 and 4 in Part II.

To English cricketers it has always seemed a remarkable thing that, handi­ capped in so many ways as are players in America, such an excellent team can be turned out for international matches. We, with the weakest of our first-class counties struggling with desperation to hold their own, with our second-class counties eager to force their way upwards, with our minor counties as eager to gain a place in the second-class, with our thousands of clubs each with its champion who is dying to play in more important cricket—we can hardly realise how diffi­ cult it must be to turn out a good eleven in America. In the first place cricket is still an exotic in the country districts, and in all but a very few of the big cities. Indeed, in Philadelphia alone are there anything like the opportunities for im­ provement which are offered in England or Australia to the members of good clubs. During the past winter there has been considerable discussion among American cricketers as to the possibilities of improving the quality of the game. As things are at present the chief matches are played on the league system, which is perhaps the best possible under the circumstances. But the mischief of it is that there are not enough clubs to make the competition interesting, and an effort has been made to increase the number of teams. Apparently this can only be done by allowing second teams to enter the lists. In Philadelphia an experiment was made last year which seems to be regarded b y most of the best players as a success. On this subject the American Cricketer has some sensible remarks, which we quote : — “ The American public will never be satisfied with defeat, and continued defeat will surely kill cricket in America. “ Fully appreciating all this, the Com­ mittee of the Associated Clubs met some time before the beginning of the season of 1900, and decided that the only way to keep up the interest in the game among the players themselves was to have a much longer playing schedule, more matches, and an increased import­ ance attached to second eleven matches. The result was a continuance of the Halifax Cup matches throughout the months of August and September, whereas they had formerly ended with J u ly ; and the admission of several of the smaller clubs into a competition with the former second elevens of German­ town, Belmont, Philadelphia, and Merion for the ‘ Philadelphia ’ Cup. This com ­ petition took the place of the old *Club Record ’ Cup. Tne only other radical change was to allow ‘ professionals ’ to play in the Philadelphia Cup matches. “ It was with not a few misgivings that the season was started. What success attended the new plan can only be learned b y an expression of opinion by the players who participated, and others closely allied with active cricket. As to the success of the Philadelphia Cup there can be no doubt. The only drawback was the fact that there was no provision made preventing Halifax Cup players from competing in Philadelphia Cup matches. By having the Halifax Cup elevens declare their teams this difficulty could easily be overcome. It
