(By O ur S pecial C orrespondent .) The Oxford Authentics, continuing their tour, met Lord Eglinton’s XI. at Eglinton on the 14th and 15th. The home eleven hatted first and gave a very good display. The outstanding feature of the innings was a splendid 125 by C. T. Mannes. The latter and A. W. Duncan put on 112 for the fourth wicket, Duncan making a dashing 42. The innings closed for 258. The Oxonians had three wickets down for 58 when stumps were drawn for the day. On the 15ththe “ Tics ” increased their score to 176, of which a stylish 62 came from the bat of R. S. Darling. With an advantage of 82 Lord Eglinton’s team in their second venture gave a poor exhibition of batting, Joe Anderson alone excepted, and were all out for 136. J. Anderson, as usual, went in first and carried out his bat for a splendid and chanceless 67. Requiring 219 to win in just under two hours the Oxonians started badly, losing Bonham-Carter at 11. R. S. Darling and J. E. Tomkinson then came together and gave a brilliant display of hitting, their partnership yielding 132, obtained in only forty-five minutes. Darling had anothir good innings of 45, and when Tomkinson was dismissed he had made an attractive 88, which included six 6’s. The game now became very exciting, the Oxonian wickets falling fast. Ten minutes from time, when the last man went in, 14 were still required. On time arriving, the Authentics having compiled 216 for nine were within three of the desired number, the match thus ending in a draw. Bradford, one of the strongest clubs in the North of England, have also been touring in Scotland. They brought their best team, including Knutton, who recently took nine Australian wickets at a small cost for An England Elevtn; also A. Sowden and Bair- stow, who took part in the same match. The visitors played Fifeshire on the 14th and 15th at Cupar, the home eleven having a poor batting team doing duty. Biadford took first lease, and when five wickets were down for 79 they did not seem in for a big score. The tail end, however, rose to the occasion, and their total reached 225, in which there was no outstanding innings. Fifeshire, on a rather sticky wicket, gave a poor display, and were all out for 77, Mitchell (G.) with 23 and R. O. Hutchinson (12) alone getting “ doubles.” Knutton had five for 25, and Cupitt four for 28. With a deficit of 148, Fifeshire followed on, and made a somewhat better response than in their first venture. They were all dismissed for one under the century. Bradley and R. O. Hutchinson made the best stand, and by good cricket put on 40 before being separated. With a fine innings of 38, Broadley was the top scorer for Fifeshire. Towards the close, A. Liddell (15 not out) and Vernon (J. H.) improved matters, but did not materially reduce the lee-way, Fife­ shire being beaten by an innings and 49 runs. Knutton again bowled superbly, and had seven for 47. Forfarshire next opposed Bradford on the 16th and 17th at Broughty Ferry. The visitors were fortunate in batting first on a perfect wicket. With the very first ball of the match Higgins beat T. H. Fearnley, but on A. Sowden and Bairstow becoming asso­ ciated a good stand ensued. When the latter left for 29 the scoring board showed 60 for two. A. Sowden, who compiled a fine 42, is quite a “ W .G ” in his own way; he is almost 50 and last year had an average of 77. Runs came slowly on account of the fine bowling and fielding of Forfarshire. Despite the very favourable batting conditions, none of the others except R. Kershaw (28) and E. L. Sowden (22) got double figures. R. Kershaw, who turns the scale at 22 stone, is, I should say, the heaviest player who has appeared on a cricket field. Bradford were all out for 153. D. Chapel, wfth three for 28, was the most successful of the Forfarshire bowlers, while G. K. Chalmers was in splendid form behind the stumps. Forfar­ shire, on going in were seen to great advan­ tage, W. It. Sharp being in grand form and receiving able assistance from D. Chapel and J. Sharp. When stumps were drawn for the day Forfarshire, with 111 for four, were only 42 behind. Resuming next day, Forfarshire, thanks chiefly to very fine cricket on the part of W. R. Sharp and G. K. Chalmers, who had 63 and 40 respectively, totalled 192 or 39 ahead. Knutton had eight wickets for 78. In their second venture Bradford gave a fine display, and when their score reached 199 for five they declared. A. Sowden, with a splendid 81, was again top scorer, R. Kershaw follow­ ing with a vigorous 46. Forfarshire were left with a little over an hour in which to get 162 to win. They were in splendid fettle, and when time arrived had made 70 for two— W. R. Sharp 31—Forfarshire being only 92 runs behind with eight wickets in hand. Bradford concluded their tour by playing Perthshire at Perth on the 18th and 19th. The home team, who were without C. T, Mannes, batted first, and made such a poor beginning that their dismissal under the half- century at one time seemed not improbable. Six wickets were down for only 39 runs, but at this juncture A. K. Bell and W. McDonald came together, and for a time, by good cricket, put a better complexion on the game. This, however, was only temporary, for after A. K. Bell and W. MacDonald had been dis­ missed for invaluable scores of 14 and 22 respectively the “ tail” failed and Perth­ shire’ s innings closed for 72. Bradford made a very good start, A. Sowden and T. H. Fearnley playing with confidence. As matters turned out they were the highest scorers with 69 and 38 respectively. J. W. Smeath, who was next man in, also did well for 24, but after his departure a rot set in, which was not stayed until H. T. Coates and Cupitt were together for the last wicket. Bradford’s innings terminated for 177. Perthshire, 105 to the bad, started very cautiously, but when ten was reached two wickets fell. On Dr. C. C. Stuart and Broadley (J.) becoming associated very fine cricket was witnessed. Dr. Stuart was sent back with a dashing 30 to his credit, and Broadley (J.) had to follow suit when on the eve of reaching his half-century. Joe Anderson once again failed to reach double figures, but the “ tail ” this time responded well, Perthshire’s second venture realising 143. Bradford were left with the very easy task of making 39 to win, but it cost them half their side to accomplish this. The Oxford Authentics also brought their tour to an end on Saturday. They played Lasswade at Mavisbank on the 18thand 19th. The “ Tics ” were in great batting form, and reached 359 before being dismissed. For this large total they had chiefly to thank R. S. Darling and C. D. Fisher for splendid scores of 71 and 88 respectively. Next day Lasswade totalled 284, and were also greatly indebted to two players, viz., J. A. Campbell, with a very fine 81, and A. S. Caldwell, who had a hard-hit 60. On going in again, the Oxonians, 75 to the good, had four wickets down for 77 when stumps and the match were drawn. During the same week the Authentics also played one-day matches against Loretto and Fettes. Loretto had very hard lines in not emerging victors, as on going in first they compiled 175 to the Oxonians’ 153 for nine. All the Loretto players, except two, got “ doubles,” no fewer than eight Oxford bowlers being tried. In the course of the match a diversion was created by a rabbit tearing across the pitch. Against Fettes the Oxonians had matters much more their own way, the only unbeaten school team of the year giving a surprisingly poor display. Fettes only totalled 151, of which 78 was put on by A. H. P. Lyle and G. Turner for the first wicket. The Authen­ tics’ innings realised 312 for seven, Hon. M. Herbert, of Notts, making a very fine century. R. S. Darling also did splendidly for 54, his partnership with the Hon. M. Herbert yielding 131 runs. M ALVERN COLLEGE v. REPTON SCHOOL.- Played at Malvern on July 16 and 17. First innings. A. T.
