Since the last issue, the Kirkheaton C.C., the nursery of several Yorkshire “ stars,” have concluded a short tour in the South. That additional interest was lent to the visit by the presence of Rhodes and Hirst in the team goes without saying. Unfortunately, that confirmed spoil-sport, the weather clerk, was not on his best behaviour, two out of the three matches being interfered with by rain. In the first match against Selkirk on Septem­ ber ‘20th, Kirkheaton ran up 214 for the loss of six wickets. For this score they were mainly indebted to Hirst and Rhodes, the former making 102 and Rhodes 73. When Selkirk went in the light was very bad, so much so, that on the score reaching 61 for six, of which A. Linton had 26, the game was abandoned. Rhodes had three wickets for 13. Two days later, against Gala, at Galashiels, only three hours play was possible on account of rain. Kirkheaton closured with their score at 103 for three, Hirst and Rhodes being both not out, with 35 and 23 respectively. Gala replied with 24 for two, obtained in a bad light. Next day, in the concluding match against Hawick, Kirk­ heaton compiled 121 for seven, the chief scorers being Hirst 33, W. Jessop 26 and Rhodes 19. Hawick’s response was 40 for two (J. Montgomery 19 not out), rain at this period bringing the game to an abrupt con­ clusion. All three matches were thus drawn. It may be of interest to state that Rhodes was professional to the Gala C.C. for two years. His bowling averages were 77 wickets for 6*98 runs apiece in 1896 and 92 wickets for 7*23 rnns each in 1897. Rhodes went straight from the Gala C.C. into the Yorkshire eleven. The announcement that the Philadelphians are to play matches in Scotland next summer has given great satisfaction. The Americans have been to Scotland on two previous occa­ sions, namely in 1884 and 1»89, but were unable to include us in their last tour in 1897. The hope may be expressed that the Phila­ delphians may see their way to play matches at the three chief Scottish cricket centres. They might, for instance, in the space of six days play three two-day matches at Edin­ burgh, Glasgow and Perth against elevens representing the East, West and North respectively. The forthcoming tour of the Oxford Uni­ versity Authentics in India is sure to be followed with interest by Scottish cricket devotees. There are several former Scottish players who have made their mark in Indian cricket during the last few years, and two in particular possess very strong claims for inclusion in the All-India Eleven that is to meet the Oxonians at Delhi during the Coronation Festival. Not long ago the Bombay Gazette gave a list of players “ whose claims would require careful consideration,” and among those mentioned were three old Scottish cricketers in the persons of M. R. Jardine, J. D. Guise and W. M. Turner. M. R. Jardine (Bombay) was four years in the Fettes, and a like number of years in the Oxford Eleven. He eventually became cap­ tain in each case, and is one of the select band who have made a century in the great Inter-’Varsity contests. Brilliant bat though he be, he is even more distinguished as a fieldsman and is mentioned in Ranj’s book as a famous tl long-field.” J. 1). Guise (Calcutta) is an old Merchiston boy and Grange player. He is a fine all - round cricketer, and the year before last was credited with 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in Indian cricket. W. M. Turner is also an old Grange player. After leaving Edinburgh, and before going to India, he played regu­ larly for Essex, and is a brother of the more famous A. J. of that name. Quite one of the features of the past season has been the consistent success of the Udding- ston C.C. They have carried through their Scottish programme without a defeat, the only reverse sustained being at the hands of Gloucestershire. Of the 20 Scottish matches played twelve were won and eight drawn. They scored 3,440 runs for the loss of 160 wickets, giving an average of 21 runs per wicket lost as against their opponents’ 2,328 runs at a cost of 193 wickets, or an average or 12 runs per wicket taken. Uddingston might with advantage play more matches further a-field. In the last number I gave a list of Scottish cricketers who had compiled a thousand runs, and another of those who had taken a hun­ dred wickets during the past season. The names of C. M. Campbell (Edinburgh Aus­ tralasians) and A. S. Cairns (Leith Cale­ donians) must now be included among the thousand run-makers, which brings the num­ ber up to eight, as against two last year. Joe Anderson (Perthshire) has, I may mention, reached the coveted thousand for the second year in succession. To the list of hundred wicket-takers the names of R. M‘Gregor Mitchell (Perthshire) and Mitchell, G. (Fife­ shire) have to be added. The latter, in addi­ tion to taking 104 wickets, has made 1,193 runs and is, 1 believe, the first Scottish cricketer to perform the double feat.
