J u n e 10, 1911. CEICKET: A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. 229 which is the more tired, the arm of the hard-working bowler or the voice that so frequently shouts, in its own stentorian tones, “ Play out, man ! Play o u t! ” It is rigid adherence to this maxim which has made the Malvernian style what it is. Besides club games, there are, as a matter of course, inter-house matches. Senior and junior (under 16) elevens of every house compete for a cup. Then there is fielding practice. Between six and seven on half holidays the house elevens are ranged round the Photo by] [Hawkins and Co., Brighton. Mr. H. K. FOSTER. ground for this. It is given by the captain of each eleven, or a master in his stead. A sight to gladden the heart of the true cricketer is it to see a couple of hundred youngsters, big and small, all fielding and catching with the utmost keenness. Possibly no part of Malvern cricket is so characteristic as this fielding practice on so large a scale. (To be continued) XIV. OF TH E TA Y LER FAM ILY v. A.

OXFORD U N IV E R S IT Y . Played at Oxford on Ju n e 1 and 2. Oxford won by eight wickets. It was no disgrace for the A ll Indian team to be beaten in their openin'* match by eight wickets by a side which had defeated the Champion County a short time before. They recovered well from a very bad start, thanks chiefly to the M aharaja and Salam-ud-din, who added 74 together in an hour-and-a-quarter after half the side were out for 37. H .H . showed strong defence and good hitting power, and during the 80 m inutes he was in made a 0 and eight 4’s. For the University, Campbell scored 106 not out out of 204 in 160 minutes by faultless cricket: he hit six 4’ s and with Braddell put on 54 in 35 minutes. The visitors again opened badly upon going in the second time, their seventh wicket falling at 49. K anga and Baloo then added 40, but Oxford were set only 49 to win.

Spiers & Pond were originally the proprietors of a popular restaurant in Melbourne, and, thinking that it would be a profitable speculation to get a good En glish cricket team to go out to Australia, made the arrangements whereby H . H . Stephenson took a side out in 186 1-2. The tour was an immense success, the first day’s takings, in fact, paying the whole expenses of the trip. Having made a fortune out of their venture, Messrs. Spiers & Pond came to London and established themselves at Ludgate Hill.
