Wormwood Scrubs, v. Belgrave The H olloway S anatorium C.C. has neither a Home Week nor a Tour. It meets Guildford in the Guildford Week, and Paddington on its tour. The groundman of last year, Humphrey, late of Hampton Wick, has left to take up the appointment of groundman to the Devonshire County Ground at Exeter, and G. Gunn, one of the best men of 1901, has gone to Trent Bridge, where he played in the recent Colts’ match. The club’s groundman for the coming season is Meads, who comes from Rubery Bill, Birmingham, with the reputatif n of having tne best average in local cricket. As there are several young players coming on, the team will prob­ ably be nearly as strong as it was last year. M AY. 7. v. Thespids 10. v. St. Bartholomew’s Hospital 14. v. W ar Office 17. v.
