In other words, H. S. Harned (the Ledger makes him “ H.T.” but we know better) scored a century— 107*—playing right through an innings of 240. Frankford totalled only 87, P. H. Clark taking 5 for 25, E. M. Mann 4 for 18. Germantown C (253, eight men making doubles, W . D. Meyers, 46*, and G. R. White, 43, highest) beat Merion C (220—R. L. Melville 91, E. Wood 44) in an exciting Philadelphia Cup game. Merion’s total is stated to have been made in a little more than an hour. Very good going indeed, if correct. “ Bump for Caribbean.” Our friends of the Ledger again. Nothing very dreadful. Germantown British-Americans de­ clared at 124 for 6 ; Caribbean all out 94— that’s all. G. Macpherson made n o , G. W. Dodwell 64* for Crescent A.C. (230 for 3, dec.) v.
