40 THE WORLD OF CRICKET. F e b r u a r y , 19 14 . TH IRD MATCH v. QUEENSLAND . A t Brisbane, December 20 and 22. This match should have begun on the 19th, but rain prevented a start. Queensland played a very experimental team, among those absent being Hartigan, Redgrave, McLaren, Hayes, Joseph Thomson, Cecil Thompson, and Redgrave. Farquhar, Prout, Cossart. and Griffiths all made their first appearance. On a kicking wicket Barstow and Ironmonger disposed of New Zealand for only 89 ; but Queensland only gained a lead of 35, Dan Reese bowling in great form. Several men made useful scores in New Zealand’s second, and the home side found the 127 set them for victory too many in the event. Alan Marshal made a great effort for his side, going in first and being undefeated at the finish ; but the rest failed, Sandman clean bowling five of them, and New Zealand pulled off a capital victory by 12 runs.

A t Sydney, December 26 and 27. This was a disappointing game. Only two or three of the New Zealanders showed any­ thing like their home form, and they suffered a very heavy defeat. Bardsley (in Trumper’s temporary absence) won the toss from Reese, and sent New* Zealand in. Except for Sneddon, who made 44 of the first 70, Sandman, who hit out in fine style, and Robinson, who assisted Sandman to add 58 for the eighth wicket, no one reached double figures. The pitch was too fast for them, and Kelleway bowled his best. Though Andrews and Collins added 88 for the second N.S.W . wicket, and Collins and Cody 77 for the third, five were down for the moderate figure of 234. But then Scott and Macartney became partners, and practically repeated their performance against Queensland. In 70 minutes they added 171 runs b y brilliant cricket. Scott was out curiously. Macartney played a ball a few yards in front of him, and the batsmen ran. Hickmott, the bowler, raced with Scott down the pitch, grabbed the ball and threw the wicket down underhand before the Petersham man could gain his crease. Macartney’s 142 (20 fours) were made in 100 minutes, Collins’s 104 (9 fours) in just over two hours, Scott’s 84 (10 fours) in 85 minutes. Trumper hit lustily for his 32. The New Zealanders fielded well, but their bowling acked sting, Sandman’s being the best. In fact, Sandman C AN T ER BU R Y VE TERAN S v. OTAGO VE TERAN S. , A t Lancaster Park, Christchurch, December 24. This game was played to celebrate the jubilee of the Canterbury v. Otago matches, and some famous men of yore took part in it, notable among them being F. Wilding (father of A. F. Wilding, the great lawn tennis man), who scored 61 and took 3 for 14, showing that he still retained some of his old-time form, T. D. Harman, who made a century, J. N. Fowke, for many years New Zealand’s crack wicket-keeper, James Baker, Otago’s best batsman for a long period, and William Frith, a deadly bowler in the past. The Canterbury side won by 176 runs on the first innings. O t a g o V e t e r a n s . First Innings. W. Wyinks, c McMurray, Wilding J. Croxford, st. Fowke, Wilding W. Carr, b McMurray P.
