The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. O ne of the Sefton Park professionals is immensely popular amongst the hundreds of Liverpool boyswho play.in the parks on Saturdays, lt is most amusing to watch him return to the pavilion, especially if he has taken some wickets or made a big hit; he is at once surrounded by a huge mob of his little admirers who wait for him to pat him on the back. He has literally to fight his way through the mob before he can reach the pavilion. A n amusing incident took place during the match between Sefton Park and Ox- ton, at Liverpool, on Saturday. Two of the Oxton men attempted a very short run, while two of the fielders rushed for the ball and collided violently without hurting each other. One of them flung his arms round the other to prevent him from falling, at the same time preventing him from returning the ball to the wicket keeper. The result was that the batsmen regained their creases and the crowd laughed. On the first day of the match at Southampton between Sussex and Hamp­ shire, Major Poore was presented by the Hampshire County C.C. with a silver bowl as a memento of his great success for Hampshire before he went to the war. The Chairman of the Committee, Mr. J. C. Moberly, stated that it had been intended to make the presentation at the end of the season of 1899, but Major Poore then had to go on active service. Major Poore in that year had an average of 116 for Hampshire and 91 in all matches.
