Sm ith’s 105* v. Edm onton, H. D. Sm ith’s 100* v. Albemarle and Friern Barnet. F IN CH L E Y (E A S T ) C .C .: 1912. Played, 2 7; won, 1 4 ; lost, 4 ; drawn, 9. Four matches were abandoned.

The first X I. won twice as many matches as they lost; the second had a balance on the right side. E. Hawkes, C. I. S. W allace, and E . F. U pton were the chief run-getters for the first team, contributing am ong them nearly half the runs scored for the side; Upton also shared with H all the brunt of the bowling, though here H . Jenner was very effective in the few matches in which he played. For the second X I. W . W ilson scored heavily and con ­ sistently, and F. Cash, A . C. Bastin, and J. B. Ryder did good w ork; the tail was rather a lqng one. Ryder bowled effectively, and Bastin and S. Hayward gave him support. The club has not a very large m em bership; but nearly all its “ playing m em bers” play, which is not the case with every club.

Dean, and B . Ilsley was, as the figures will show, a big factor in the side’s success. A. Roberts also did good work both with bat and b a ll; and C. M. Richardson, the side’s popular skipper, and C. Butt played a number of useful innings. T he averages which follow are for first eleven matches only. ACTON TOWN C .C. : 1912.
