FIRST OF THE TOUIt. Played at B om bay on the Gymkhana Maidan on N ovem ber 17, IB and 19. Presidency won b y 46 runs. This was a particularly exciting match, for although 1,186 runs w ere made in it, there was a doubt up to the last as to whether the A uthentics w ou ll not make a draw, and possibly if H . B. Chinnery had not been taken ill on the third day, they m ight even have w on. The most noticeable point about the game was the splendid second innings of Captain G reig, tho Hampshire cricketer, for the Presidency. H is total of 204 was made out o f 317 ; when stumps were drawn on the second day he had made 192 out o f 284 for tw o wickets. A fter each side had completed an innings it looked any odds that the Authentics would win, for R . A . W illiam s and F . G . H . C layton batted so finely that they put in the shade the excellent innings o f Cap­ tain Lowis for the Presidency. B ut the superb cricket of Captain G reig entirely altered tbe appearance o f the game, and the Authentics, in the absence of Chinnery, had to make 303 to win w ith about tw o hours and three-quarters left for play. It was not until within five minutes from tim e that the last wicket of tho Authentics fell, R idley and A spinall m aking a splendid stand which nearly saved the game. P residency . First innings.

Drawn. Having won the toss the Authentics lost no time in making runs, and they had put together their big total of 856 long before the first day’s play ended. The chief feature of the innings was the fine batting of F. H. Hollins, who, after twice being missed before he had imde 30 runs, played in faultlessstyle. The Hindus had lost six”wickets for 97 when stumps were drawn, so that they seemed almost certain to be severely defeated. But on the next morning the tail played up well, and in the second innings nearly every man of the side helped considerably towards playing out time. For all this there was nearly half-an-hour to play when the last two, Sesachari and Kirtikai, came together, and it was only by a very plucky effort on their part that the game was saved.

TH IRD OF THE TOUR. Played at Bombay on November 24 and 25. Parsis won by eight wickets. In this match the Authentics were not as a team seen at their best. They began their first innings badly, losing four wickets for 58, and when six wickets had fallen it looked as if the total would only come to about 160. Raphael then joined Simpson-Hayward and things began to look better, but it was not until Kershaw came in that the bowling was collared. He and Raphael quite altered the appearance of the game, the latter hitting in brilliant form until he had made over 100. Tho Parsis had made 24 without loss ien stumps were drawn. Monotonous cri« Ket on the next morning was followed by some hard hitting by Kanga, who played the innings of his life, and when stumps were drawn the Parsis were 34 runs ahead with three wickets in hand. The position of the game thus pointed to a draw. But on the next day the Parsi tail did well, and the Authentics, going in a second time against a lead of 95, could only just save the innings’ defeat. Hollins alone playing up to his public ft n. No doubt the Authentics found that, in . climate like that of Bombay, it requires a seasoned individual to feel at his best at tho id of a week’s hard cricket. A dth en tios . First innings. F. G. H.
