M. ... 12 1 95 8,63 29 37 164 5 32.80 the off, who should make a lot of runs ; MacPhail, from the West Indies, useful all-round ; Harris, a little man with real pluck, good in a crisis ; and Threfall, a promising batsman and hard-working field. Among the likeliest of the candidates are I. G. Owen, batsman and bowler, and W. B. Threfall, who may succeed to the vacant post of wicket-keeper. The scliool has the valuable services of Fred Holland (Surrey) as coach. The only school match to be played is with Leys School ; among the other fixtures are games with four Cambridge colleges, with Lord Lilford’s X I., the County 0. and G., the Leicester Gentlemen, the Notts Amateurs, the O.B’s (two days), and the Rev. M. W. Brown’s X I. M er c h isto n , with a very useful batting side in 1011, was somewhat weak in bowling : and it seems likely that the same state of affairs will obtain in 1912. Seven of the twelve of last season are again available, including Forman, who headed batting and bowling averages and was captain -a post which he will ill1 again. Then there are Lyle, the soundest bat the school has, and a useful change bowler, Duke, who has batting style, and Roberts, who has not, but both rungetters, with D. Hutchison, who has not not yet come up to expectations, MacFarlane, who should come on as a fast bowler and is worth his place for his fielding alone, and Gourlay, a capital wicket­ keeper. The matches will be much as usual, and hope is entertained that more will be won and fewer lost and drawn than was the case last season. 0. R. M . Hutchison is now at Woolwich, Baxter at Cambridge, and Brown at Oxford. The prospects of E psom are written d ow n “ fa il." Four members of last year’s eleven will again lie available— three batsmen and a wicket-keeper— R. V. Hudson. God- ward, Parks, and Taylor. Hudson is captain, and a much better bat than his 191 1 tigures make him out. He should make many more runs this year. Parks was second in the batting averages, and Godward did useful work. Tho team suffered from many changes, consequent upon illness, last season. The great difficulty this time will be to find bowlers ; A. F. Hudson, Abbott, and Walker, who did practically all the work at the crease, have left. The school matches are with St. John’s, Leatherhead, Christ’s Hospital, Mill Hill, and King’s College, Wimbledon. The M.C.C., the O.B.’s, the Gentlemen of Surrey, and Charing Cross Hospital are also among Epsom ’s opponents. S t . J ohn ’ s , L eatherhead , have lost their two great men, Knight and James, who in 1911 scored between them considerably more than half the runs made and did the greater part of the bowling for the team ; and as only three old choices are left the outlook is not too good. The old colours are Round (captain), Roberts, and Turner, all batsmen of ability, though overshadowed by the two cracks. There is good stuff to be called upon, however. Bowlers will be wanted ; and G. S. Middlemiss, fast with a good length, L. P. S. Bourne, right hand medium with the same valuable quality, and S. C. Squire, slow left with a swerve, are the likeliest. If Round does not keep wicket again, E. L. Greenhow should be useful in that position. B. P. Mainprice and V. L. S. Bedwell, with Middlemiss, are batsmen likely to do good work. Mr. L. T. Driffield, an old Johnian, the Cambridge blue, is now on the staff, and naturally a good deal is hoped for from his coaching. E a stb o u r n e has lost Dalpat, Singh, who made so many runs, and Maynard, who took so many wickets, in 191 I ; but five old colours are left— Thomson (captain 1912), Malik, Hake, Lloyd and Dennys. Maynard (captain 191 1), King and Wood are all up at Cambridge. The schools played are Christ’s Hospital, Lancing, and K ing’s, Canter­ bury ; among the clubs met are such strong ones as Eastbourne, Blue Mantles, Sussex Martlets, Old Reptonians, South Saxons, and Stoics. The M.C.C. match is on June 14th; the 0 . B .’s match, last on the card, is on July 20th. D en sto n e did not lose a match in 1911. Such a record is scarcely to be expected in 1912 ; but still their prospects are good. They have lost Wood, captain, mighty scorer and fast bowler, who played in the Derby­ shire team with success last season, and is now up at Cam­ bridge, Anderson, the best field on the side, Chadwick, the wicket-keeper, whose place will not be easily tilled, and
