J u n e i i , 1908. C R IC K E T : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 199 THE “ ATHLET IC NEWS ” CR ICKET ANNUAL * The twenty-first issue of this Annual is as go o d as any of its predecessors, which is saying a great deal. All last season’s first-class m atches are tabulated, and full scores are given of the gam es played by the English team in Australia. Considerable space is devoted to club cricket, portraits are published of leading first-class and L eague players, and am ong the m any other contents m ay be m en­ tioned the Law s o f Cricket, C ricket R e­ cords, First-Class, League, and Club A verages and Fixtures, and the League tables for 1907. T h e fact that the booklet is edited by “ Tityrus ” is sufficient gu ar­ antee o f its accuracy and completeness. *The Athletic Nexcs Cricket Annual.
