The Philadelphia C.C. (235 for 9, dec.—J. B. K ing 75, H. W. M iddleton 49, H. R. Cartwright 35) easily beat the visiting Brooklyn team (9a) at St M artin’s on August 30. K ing was making his first appearance of the season, and follow ed up his good score by taking 5 for 32. It is tobe hoped he w ill play regularly in 1914.

From Monday, A u g u st 25, to the follow in g Monday, V ic ­ toria (B .C .) was full of cricket. T h e State of W ashington failed to send a team to compete this year; Portland, Seattle, and T acom a have been represented in previous tournaments; and one or two team s origin ally expected did not turn out after all; but there were ten entries, and altogether 22 m atches were played in the seven days. F or each team to meet all the others would have involved 45 gam es. A ccord­ in g ly two divisions of approxim ately equal stren gth were form ed. In one competed V ancouver, Cow ichan, V ictoria, U n iversity School In cogs, and the G arrison; in the other O ak B ay, Burrard, N anaim o, N ew W estm inster, and Albion (V ictoria). E ach side met all the others in its own division, and the leaders played a decidin g match.
