Jun e 7, 19 13 . CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 277 Derrick Wanderers beat Addiscombe by 44— 135 to 91. E. C. Street made 51 for them, and H. R. Rennie (4 for 22), W. G. Hankin (3 for 22), and Street (3 for 24) all bowled well. D. Holman’s 26 was top score for the losers. Slough had by no means their strongest team out v. Shep­ herd’s Bush on Saturday. Dr. Weaver Adams, E. H. D. Sewell, E. Southall, T. R. Kent, and E. J. Leat were all absentees. O. Smoothy played a capital innings of 58* for Shepherd's Bush, and there were six other double figure scores, none of them over 20, however. L. McCoy Hill (18 overs, 54 runs, 4 wickets) bowled with great steadiness. Shepherd’s Bush declared at 193 for 9. W. Adams, who is in splendid form, saw his side all out, carrying his bat for 69 of 128. He hit twelve 4’s. W. E. Baker’s stand of 34 for the seventh wicket with him raised hopes, but they were not realised. A. H. Wilmot was conspicuous in the field. Owing to him P. S. Bayley was run out at a time when Slough looked like saving the game. Adams called Bayley for a chancy run ; W ilmot ran up and kicked the ball into the wicket­ keeper’s hands. Later he brought the game to an end by a fine catch, low down, dismissing Guterbock. D. E. Lewis, formerly of Ealing Dean, took 6 for 56, bowling in capital style. Hampstead Nomads (130 for 5) drew with Barnet (204 for 7, dec.). F. Graddon (83), F. Miller (46), and F. Skinner (28) were chief scorers for the home side; H. C. Pennington (69) and J. S. Caulfield (34) for the Nomads. S. B. K. Caulfield, whose left-hand bowling is getting wickets in every game, had 4 for 64 this time. Ealing Park decisively vanquished Ealing Dean, who scarcely seem the side they were a season or two back. The Park declared at 203 for 8 (A. B. Stevens 56*, A. E. W inyard 34, C. E. Street 32), and the Dean could only make 61. Stevens (5 for 32) and W inyard (4 for 29) bowled with deadly effect. Ladgrove Masters beat Barnet, who against the bowling of F. A. H. Henley and W. R. Hoare could only total 106. For Ladgrove J. W. Nunn (60), C. D. M clver (52), and W. F. Stan- brough (32) all scored freely. The total was 183 for 6. One assumes that M clver and S. Hill Wood are honorary members of the staff at the famous preparatory school ! Two of the three who did not bat were W. J. Oakley and G. O. Smith. If they had gone in first together it would not have been long odds against a big opening partnership. Balham Wanderers’ tour in Thanet will begin on June 9. The matches arranged a re :— June 9— v. New College, at Herne Bay. ,, 10— v. St. LawrenceCollege, at Ramsgate. ,, 11— v. Westgate, at Westgate. 12— v. St. George’s, at Ramsgate. ,,13— v. St. Lawrence, at Canterbury. ,,14— v.

Pinkerton, A. P. Powles, E. G. Read, D. Wall, H. W. Weaver, T. J. Wheeler, C. P. Woollacott, and P. K. Woollacott (captain). Headquarters : Marlborough House, Royal Crescent, Margate. Acton Town on the 28th did little against Southall, and were beaten by 71 runs. No one on either side reached 25. R. Hartopp and W. Juggins bowled well for the winners, and C. M. Richardson for the losers. The Trojans on Monday last beat Hampstead at Hampstead. The home side’s total was 156, J. C. Snaith (who wrote that charming novel, “ W illow the King,” as well as “ Lady Bar­ barity,” “ William Jordan. Junior,” and other books that have an honoured place on this scribe’s shelves) a long way top scorer with 49*. The Trojans replied with 198 (Haigh Smith 55, E. J. Bridges 53, E. L. Raymond 37*). Raymond took 7 wickets for the winners, R. S. Everitt 5 and Smith 4 for the losers. Our Lincolnshire correspondent writes : A capital contest was that at Lincoln on Saturday, when the Lindum first team were at home to Spalding. The visitors batted first, and there was some spirited batting by a quartette— L. S. Harrison 51, C. C. Harrison 42, J. N. Worman 17, and G. H. Salaman 15, so that by the fall of the last wicket the decent total of 157 had been reached. A most interesting time then had the spectators, for though W. Rose played a long and fruitful innings, with good assistance from H. W. Barnes (28), six of the wickets fell some­ what cheaply. Then R. Whitton came to the rescue with 22, but it was not until eight wickets were down that the winning hit was made, J. M. Lawson being not out for a good defensive 13. W. Rose’s effort was a particularly fine one, his score being 70. It was a glorious finish to an excellent game. The Lindum second team were away at Caythorpe, and this time suffered defeat. They batted first, and made 124, Beechy (25), Bavin (22), and Pennell (19) being the principal contributors. Caythorpe made a capital start, and eventually R. J. Walden compiled the fine score of 75, being not out when time was called, with 130 runs on for the loss of only four wickets. Grantham still continue in the winning line, Notts Amateurs being beaten somewhat easily. The Amateurs not long ago were amongst the strongest of Grantham 's opponents, but Saturday’s team was not up to the standard, and they easily went under. So well did Appleby and Hilson bowl th at they went unchanged through the first innings, the former having four wickets for 15 runs, and Hilson five for 24. C. Cursham alone of the visitors got into double figures (12). The Grantham batsmen were not long in knocking off the required runs. Sidney Shaw, who has returned to the old Club after several seasons’ absence abroad, has lost none of his qualities as a batsman, and made 19, but the best innings of the day was that by Whitehead, a quick scorer, who went to the wickets with an average of 30, and enriched it by a good 31 not out. When time was called Grantham had made 88 for 6 wickets, Hilson having scored 16. Thanks to very fine bowling by H. S. Collingwood, at Buck­ minster on Saturday, and some spirited batting by Wood (42), the Grantham second team further enriched their record. The bowler named took 7 wickets for 18 runs only, and at one point was so dead on the mark and so unplayable that he secured four wickets in five balls. The totals were : Grantham second, 103 for 6 (dec.), Buckminster Park 47. The Burghley Park team met Mr. A. Hinch's eleven at Burgh- lev Park, Stamford, but so well did four of the Park team bat that none of the others were required at the crease. Dorrington 31, Grant 70, Roberts not out 61, and Donald not out 35, with 7 extras, brought the figures to 204 for 2 wickets, when the closure was applied. Mr. Hinch’s X I. made 76. Sleaford Town secured a somewhat easy victory over Lincoln Stamp End, the former eleven making just 100 (Hews 46 not out) and declaring, and dismissing Stamp End for 61. Spencer, who seem temporarily below par, lost to Croydon In 90 runs. The Croydon fielding was very good indeed, the Spencer batting weak. John Gordon was top scorer for the losers with 43, and T. R. Hammond made an excellent 89 for Croydon. Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank defeated Mercantile Bank of India by 61 (113 to 52) in a game in which bowlers always had the best of it. W. N. Hansell’s 29 was quite the highest score. For the winners Knight took 6 for 22, Hansell 3 for 12. A t Stradey, Llanelly met XV I. of the district. The scoring ruled small, Herbert Jones (7 for 25) and D. H. Davies getting out the X I. for 52, and thereafter Vogler (8 for 39) and E. Gee (5 for 32) disposing of the X V I. for 93. There were only four double figure scores in the game. There was some biggish scoring at Old Buckenham Hall. No one but Geoffrey Stevens (109), could do much with the bowling of Falconer and H. B. Conran ; but after two of the Hall wickets had gone cheaply A. C. MacLaren (150*) and Dr. Rose (115) hit the Norwich Wanderers bowling all over the field and the home side totalled 304 for 4. In the Tyneside League the chief performance of the day was a brilliant century by the old Lorettonian, G. L. Hunting, for Northumberland County Club v. North Durham. Hunting hit three 6's and fourteen 4’s in his 118, and C. G. Arkwright two 6’s and four ^’s in his 83. The innfngs was declared at 249 for 4, but at the finish North Durham still had a wicket to go. South Northumberland beat Ryton by 131 to 68, Stevenson taking 6 for 32 for the winners, and J. Graham 5 for 19 for the
