CRICKET IN SCOTLAND. Competition cricket has never flourished in Scotland, though the Public Schools Championship is a notable exception. One of thet finest matches ever seen in this competition was decided at Mussel­ burgh on Friday and Saturday, when Loretto gained a brilliant victory over Fettes by six wickets. Fettes’ strong batting was ex­ pected to carry them through, despite their lack of bowling talent, but Loretto triumphed, thanks almost wholly to the efforts of two members of the eleven, W . S. Smeeth in the field and G. L. Hunting at the wicket. Smeeth, who secured eleven wickets for 135, is a bowler of the Rhodes type, and, as he is only a youngster, ought to improve a lot. Hunting, with innings of 144 and 87, both not-out, showed magnificent batting and leathered the weak Fettes bowling all over the field. He received a tremendous ovation at the close. If he goes up to Oxford or Cambridge he ought to secure his blue as few finer schoolboy batsmen have ever been produced in Scotland. Why does not the Grange play a match against a picked side from the Public Schools ? The game would be most interesting and popular, and the senior club would have to put in all they know to win. Stirling County accomplished a smart piece of business when they took advantage of the dispute between Perthshire and Forfar­ shire to fix up the big County for Stirling on the occasion of the Perth mid-summer holiday. Special trains were run to convey the Perth holiday crowd, and in consequence the Stirling ground held more spectators than it has done for many a day. In the field, not­ withstanding that they had a specially strengthened side, they made a sorry show, and were dismissed on a splendid wicket for the paltry total of 59. Benskin, the Perth professional, who has played a game for Leicester this season, secured 8 wickets for 22. Perthshire proved that runs could easily be made by rattling up a score of 2G5. What a pity they do not meet Forfarshire ! Is there time yet ? The Grange suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Carlton, one of the strongest sides in the country. Seldom—at least, during modern times—have they been dismissed for such a small score as 51, but Carlton were only getting a little of their own back and Grange have still the best of the reckoning over recent years. G. W. Jupp, a Somerset man, was tlie chief factor in their collapse, as he took six wickets in ten overs for 18 runs. The Watsonians, better known in the football world, are making cricket history thisseason. Up to the present they are undefeated, though last week they experienced two narrow escapes. The side includes A. W. Angus and J. Pearson, the international three- quarters. Like the Watsonians, Glasgow Academicals, another famous football combination, are doing rather well since they returned to first-class club cricket. They were a pretty good side about twenty years ago. GRANGE v. G A L A .—Playod at Raeburn Place on July 8 . S core:— G a l a . R. L.
