P. F. WARNER’S XI. ( tw elfth of the tour ). Played at the Oval on July 23, 24 and 25. Mr. Warner’s XI. won by 196 runs. It was a miserable day at the Oval when this match began, and although it was possible to play for three hours and a quarter the cricket was un­ satisfactory. At the last moment, in the absence of G. W. Beldam and L. J. Moon, Mr. Warner included Tarrant, the young Australian professional, in his eleven. On the American side A. M. Wood bad a rest for the first time during the tour, but J. B. King had recovered sufficiently from his accident to be able to take his place in the team again. The Americans did very well at first against a strong batting side, and when eight wickets of Mr. Warner’s eleven were down only 98 rut s had been ecored. But from this moment the prospects of the home team became very much brighter. A. G. Archer and H. J. Stevenson came together for the ninth wicket and defied all the bowling with success, until they had increased the total by 60 runs in forty minutes, and the last two men put on 52 in half-an-hour. This completed the cricket for the day. On Friday considerable progress was made with the match, the home team having the best of matters when stumps were drawn, for with Bix wickets in hand they held a lead of 258. After heavy rain cn the previous night, the ground dried slowly, and the game was not resumed until after an early lunch. For the rest o i the day the sun was shining, and the Philadelphians had much the worst of the wicket. Tarrant and Bosanquet began the bowling, and it was not found neceseary to chat ge them, as al no time during the innings of the Americana did any batsman obtain a command over the bowling. With a lead of 105 Mr. Warner’s team went in again at ten minutes past four, and ty the time that the day’s play ended they had acoreU 153 for four wicketa, Boaanquet being not out 53 and T. A. D. Bevington not out 27. Nicholls and F. W. Orr also batted we’l. On Saturday morning runs were made quickly, and in the course of an hour and a half tbe total wa8 increased by 121, and then the innings wa8 declared cloaed. Bevington played particulary fine cricket, and was batting altogether for two hours for his 91. Stevenson again made a useful score. The visitors began their second innings at a quaiter-past one, with 381 runs to make. They began very carefully, in the hope of playing out time, but it was evident almost from the first that this could not be done on account of the difficulty of the bowling. But Graves, Lester, Bohlen, Sharpless and Morris all batted very well indeed, and made a very plucky attempt to save the game. Total ................. ... 82 Total ..........183 M r . P. F.
