T he South of England Eleven against the Australians at Bournemouth to-day is as follows :— S. M. J. Woods (Somersetshire) (captain), G. L. Jessop (Gloucestershire), E. M. Sprot (Hampshire), and C. J. B. W ood (Leicestershire), with Arnold (Worcestershire), Gill (Somerset), Board (Gloucester­ shire), Tate (Sussex), Brockwell (Surrey), and A . N. Other. O n Tuesday morning C. J. Burnup had the distinction of bringing his total for the season to over 2,000 runs. When he went in the previous evening he required 47 runs to attain the end so much desired by batsmen, and when stumps were drawn he had made 26 of them. He was heartily applauded when the necessary runs had been made. Abel and Trumper, who had previously accom­ plished the feat and who were both on the spot, the former batting at the other end and the latter fleldiag, were very sincere in their congratulations. T h e Old Citizens underwent a curious experience on Saturday last. After a good start by P. W. Hale, E. Booker and B. O. Cole the rest of the side crumpled up before the two Townley Park slow bowlers, Wallers and Baker, the latter performing the hat trick with the last three wickets. With an hour and a-half to get 138 Townley Park started freely, and though one wicket fell J. S. Buck and C. B. Wood batted grandly, and at the end of the last over the total stood at 138. Amid great excitement Wood attempted a short run to gain the winning point, but was smartly run out and the game ended in a curious draw, Townley Park requiring one run and having eight wickets in hand. F ob the match between Bombay Presidency and the Parsis, which was to be played on August 25, 26, and 27, at Bombay, the following teams were selected :— P r esid en cy : Captain J. Gr. Greig, Major C. W. Field, Captain M. D. Wood, and Mr. P. L. Sprott, Poona; Messrs. W. P. Lums­ den, H. Cheetham, E. L. Sale, and M. R. Jardine, and Captain Gr. C. Camegy, Bom­ bay ; Captain L. M. P. Deas, Deesa; and Mr. R. A. Cassels, Deolali. P a k sis : Dr. M. E. Pavri, D. D. Kanga, A. H. Mehta, M. D. Balsara, N. C. Bapasola, D. E. Mody, H. D. Kanga, R. P. Merhomji, K. M. Mistry, P. Colabawalla, and D. Raja (jun.). A w e l l - k n o w n cricketer in India received a special and urgent invitation to play in a match, and was at length induced to consent. He made two duck’s eggs, and when put on to bowl did not take a wicket. Truly you never know your luck. T h e annual sports of the Hampstead Cricket Club will be held on Saturday next, beginning at 2-15. In addition to the races, which are novel at athletic sports, there will be contests for Throw­ ing at the wicket, Buuning between the wickets, a Yeteraus’ Race, and a Quarter- Mi!e “ Belay ” Race by teams representing the cricket, hockey, golf and tennis sections of the club. The Sports Com­ mittee consists of Messrs. F. B. Spofforth, F. W. Orr, C. D. D. McMillin, H. Greig, F. R. D. Monro, F. C. Wheeler, J. C. Toller, and B. Leigh-Ibbs. T h e k e was excitement in the Central ground at Hastings on Tuesday morning while Hayward and Braund were to­ gether, for just outside the ground a horse ran amok with a brougham behind him, and after trying experiments with a lamp post, was brought up all standing by a big and heavy trolley. Fortunately the damage was chiefly confined to the coachman’s hat. S a n t a l l , the Warwickshire profes­ sional, was married at Birmingham, on Tuesday, to Miss Agnes May. Included among the presents was a marble clock from the Warwickshire County C.C. B e l o w are some questions referring to cricket set in an imaginary paper by the Morning Post. Define a “ throw” (a) when the umpire at the bowler’s end is looking, (b) when he is not looking. What are the legal powers of the captain of the eleven which is hatting, or trying to bat, in the second instance ? Pind the economic value (a) to his own side, ( b ) to his opponents, of a wicket-keeper who stoppeth one of three on a fast, true pitch. Pick a cricket eleven on this season’s form to represent the world against Mars—on a water-logged wicket. What constitutes an athletic reputation ? What is the average value of a “ Blue” in pounds, shillings, pence, and fractions of a penny? O w in g to an inj ured knee which has prevented him from playing at Hastings, Lockwood will not be able to appear in the English Team against Yorkshire at Lord’s to-morrow (for the Cricketers’ Fund Friendly Society). His place will be taken by J. T. Hearne, so that, on this season’s form the England X I. will be considerably weakened. T h e total of 122 for the first wicket made by Abel and C. J. Burnup for South of England v. Australians at Hastings, on Tuesday, is a record agaiust the present Australian Team, as is also the total of 403 for seven wickets, the previous bast being 376 for nine wickets by England in the first Test Match. H a y w a b d ’ s 106 at Hastings, brings the total of individual hundreds against the Australian Team of 1902 to six.
