Cricket 1909

M arch 25, 1909. CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 39 6 th M atch . — v. ALL JAMAICA. Played at Melbourne Park, Kingston, on February 19 and 20. Philadelphians won by eight wickets. Conyers’ innings of 149 was described as one of the most finished displays ever seen on a Kingston ground, not even excepting when English teams have appeared there. His best partners were Pearson and Leroy, who helped to put on 47 for the first wicket and 69 for the fourth respectively. On the first day the home side lost six w’ickets for less than 50 runs, and on the next morning followed-on 142 behind. Their second innings amounted to 176, thanks almost wholly to Nicholson and Cameron, who added 103 together after two wickets had fallen for 10. Hordern again had much to do with the success of his side, thirteen wickets falling to him for 113 runs. Score and analysis :— P h ila d e lph ia n s . J. R. Conyers, b Shan- J. H.
