O ct . 12, 1912. CEICKET: A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. 557 River Plate House C .C .: 1912. Back row, left to right: P. L’h. B o ite l-G ill, C. J. P lu n k et, F. M. D ru ry , N. D. T. O liv e r, D.

Seated 011 g rou n d : M. P. H o w e ll, L. J. H ardw ick . Barnes were below par in 1912. T he loss of H. A. Busher told heavily upon them ; they discovered little new talent, and some of their best men did not turn out too regularly. The all-round play of P. M. Rees, a m ighty hitter on his day, W . L . Whitaker, and H. E . Barham , who m ight with advantage have bowled a bit more, one fancies, and the batting of the Rev. E . S. Duval and P. R. Earnsbaw were the brightest spots. The club is sure to do better in 1913. BARNES C .C .: 1912. B attino Inns. N.o. R. A. H.S. O. Bow I,INC. R. W. A. Barham, H. E. 10 4 380 31*66 79* 44 160 10 16-00 Bird, F.
