Out of 30 matches played only 3 were lost, the A team going through the season undefeated. Am ong the team s beaten were Battersea, Croydon, and Twickenham . A. T. Embleton, J. Cooper, S. Holmes, and the skipper, F. Mulley, all did really good work in batting for the first team, and G. Gardner, W . R udd, G. Sheaf, and E. Belleini were successful in the attack. A . Hurst played fine all­ round cricket for the A side, whose batting averages are headed by W . A . Barrett, with capital figures. W . J. Barrett (captain), J. Sampson, and G. Cruickshank also batted well, and A. Morgan and L. W inter supported Hurst in the bowling line. The highest score for the side was G. Lynn’s 144. S T AN L E Y C.C. : 1912.

They should do well in the future as a wandeiing team ; but it was only natural that they should experience a bit of a slump in the first season under new conditions. W ith a good membership and con­ siderable strength in all departments— W . E. H obbs is a fine bat as of old, and such all-round men as F. L. Johnson and C. W . Goddard are not to be picked off every gooseberry bush— they ought not to have lost 11 matches as against 4 won, and it is scarcely likely that they will do so poorly again. The team varied much from week to week ; but that is a drawback almost inevitable in the case of a club without a local habitation, and after all the best men— or most of them— stuck loyally to their side.
