Cricket 1909

142 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M ay 20, 1909. CRICKET IN AUSTRALIA. The South Australian cricketers who leffc AdelaPe for a trip to West Australia disembarked on the first of last month and on the next day were tendered a civij recep­ tion by tbe Mayor of Fremantle. Iu submitting the toast of the *•South Australian Eleven,” the Mayor referred in felicitous terms to the visit of the team from across the border. This w < js the more appreciated because of the isolation of the State, which debarred the visits of inter-State teams to the extent which obtained in the East. Such a visit as that of the South Australian eleven would no doubt give a great impetus to the game, which was greatly needed In the course of these inter-State vis:ts athletes carried out what appealed to him as a national work, inasmuch as their visits did much to remove the petty jealousies of the States and promote the true federal spirit. (Hear, hear.) While he could not wish the South Australian team success without being hypocritical, yet he hoped that their visit would be a pit asant one, and that the best team would win. (Applause ) Personally he thought their opponents would see a great change in the standard of cricket in the West, ani this improvem'nt was, he recognised, in a great measure due to ihe visits of teams from t' e Eastern States, and notably from South Australia. (Applause.) In responding Mr. N. Claxton, the captain of the visiting team, thanked the Mayor for the cordial terms in which he had proposed the toast. It was a pleasure to go to the Western State and meet so many old friends who had always come forward to meet them when they arrived on their shores. (Applause.) Regarding the team they were delighted to have Gehrs with them, although that pleasure was tinged with no small amount of regret, for one and all believed that he should have been picked to go home to England. (Loud applause.) The team was a strong one, and, given favourable weather conditions, the games should be attractive. In conclusion he assured the company that in no two States playing cricket were the feelings more friendly than those which existed between South and Western Atstralia. (Applause.) WEST AUSTRALIA v. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Played at Fremantle [on April 3, 5, 6 and 7. Drawn. Owing to rain preventing play on April 3rd, it was found impossible to finish the match.
