GENTLEMEN OF PHILADELPHIA. Played at Haverford on September 27, 28, 30, aud October 1. HAT-TRICK BY HESKETH PRICHARD. D i a w n . The greatest interest was centred in this,thereturn match, and although it was found impossible to arrive at a definite result, there was much good cricket and an exciting finish. The M.C.C. lost Wynyard at 14, but Douglas, who made a capital 39, remained in whilst 53 were put on for the second wicket. Snooke also played a useful innings, and in his merry 23 hit five 4’s. Branston batted an hour and a half for 36, and Simpson-Hayward scored six 4’s whilst making 44 out of 73 in sixty-five minutes. In the last three- quarters of an hour of the day the home side lost King at 29 and Le Roy at 60, the latter being out to the last ball of the day. On the following morning Morris added 22 to his over-night 26 before being sent back by a splendid catch at deep-leg by Wynyard. White, soon after the resumption, mis­ judged a high-pitched ball from Simpson-Hayward and was hit so severely on the head that the match was delayed ten minutes whilst his injury was being attended to. Wood, having made only 2, played-on to what proved to be the last ball of the day, for rain descending heavily caused the play to be curtailed considerably. The score was then 91 for four wickets. The disappointing interruption caused the captains to agree that if the game were not finished on the Monday the match should be extended to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, in the hope that a definite result might be reached. On the third morning White left at 99, but Bohlen played a fine, stylish game, and after the fall of the eighth wicket Cregar and Hordern put on 39, the last-named, when the innings closed for 227, carrying out his bat for an excellent 33, in making which he had played very confidently when facing Schwarz. The M.C.C., with 5 runs against them on the innings, lost Douglas to the very first ball when they went in the second time. Then followed a slight stand, but Snooke was sent back at 31, MacGregor at 35, Collins at 39, Goldie at 54, and Branston at 57. Schwarz and Hes­ keth Prichard then played out time when the total was 81 for six wickets. At this point the game was certainly in favour of the home side. On the last morning Schwarz hit whilst his captain played a stone-wall game: together they added 46 for the seventh wicket before the former was bowled for the highest score of the match. The last three wickets, all obtained by Hordern, added 21, leaving the Philadelphians only 120 to win. It should be stated that both Wynyard and Simpson-Hayward wore in­ disposed, and consequently went in very late and failed to do themselves justice. The first few bats­ men on the home side endeavoured to force the run- getting, but with disastrous results. Morris was stumped for 0, and Clark sent back lbw for a single. The total was then taken to 27, when King, Le Roy and Bohlen fell to consecutive balls from llesketh Prichard, and Wood was bowled by Simpson- Ilayward. Six wickets were then down, and the seventh fell at 30. With three-quarters of an hour still left Hordern and White came together and made a fine resistance, keeping in partnership thirty minutes. Cregar did little, and when Jordan went in last man, there were still thirteen minutes to go. He and White, however, proved equalto the occasion, playing out time and staving off defeat amid much oxcitement and enthusiasm.

CANADA. Played at Ottawa on October 2 and 3. Drawn. In their last match the M.C.C. were dismissed for their smallest total of their tour. Losing the toss they were put in to bat on a difficult wicket after a long railway journey from Philadelphia. Owing to their late arrival the play on the first day did not commence until 3 p.m. Wynyard and Snooke alone showed any mastery over the attack, and it was wholly due to them that so large a total as 119 was made, seeing that they made as many as 88 between them. Against Simpson-Hayward and Schwarz Canada did little, and were 25 behind on the first innings. The features of tho M.C.C.’s second innings was the batting of Schwarz, who made some fine hits in scoring his not out 51. When he had reached the half-century the innings was declared closed, leaving Canada 141 to make to win in 45 minutes. At one time it appeared possible that the visitors would win, for the score was only 58 when tho eighth wieket fell. Montgomery and Winter, C a n ad a . First innings. M. G.
