No. 10. ___D e r r ic k W a n d e r e r s beat African Banks at Catford by a single run— 137 to 136—and that within two minutes of time, so that the excitement was intensified. For the winners T. Brown scored 38, Street 35 ; C. E. Wilson made 54 for the Banks. H. R. Rennie (5 for 44) and Street (4 for 43) bowled well for D.W. W. C o o p e r, of Beckton, who has played for Essex, took 7 for 14 v. Alexandra Park, 4 of them with consecutive balls. A. J. W h y t e , the Forest Hill veteran, is a long way off being done yet. He scored 103 v. Ibis. K. B. Neall made 72, T. J. Balkwill 50. H. F. G a r r e t t (Eastbourne C.C. and Somerset) is up at Queen’s, Cambridge. He scored 42 v. Downing on Monday. In spite of all the old blues Saville has available, Garrett should go very near getting a place in the v’arsity XI. P u t n e y ( h i — Swanger 44) beat Bowyer (91—Fox 34) on Putney Common. The winners had 9 down for 50, but the last two men, Swanger and Ward, added 61, both batting really well. Q u it e the bowling performance of the day was that of the veteran, C. Y. Adamson, who took 9 for 35 for Durham City. Harry had 6 for 28 for South Shields, J. Freake 5 for 10 for Wearmouth, and J. Bewick 5.for 22 for Chester-le-Street.
