Twoundoubtedly strong elevens helped to makethis the best match of the year doubly interesting . Oscroft and Selby had done little during the season to justify their appearance on the Players ' side in preference to Jupp and Lockwood, but very slight exception could be taken in the selection of the amateurs , though Mr. Rotherham was not altogether regarded by many as having done sufficient to warrant his presence in such a match. Until very nearly the close it seemed as if the Gentle- m e nwere going to have a very easy victory . The Players in their first attempt made a very poor show against the fast bowling of Mr. Rother- h a m, to which they were strangers , and only Barnes and Emmettstood well up to him. Following on in a minority of 131 runs, when Bates a n dE m m e t tbecamepartners six wicketsh a dfallen for 102, or 29 to save the innings . The splendid hitting of Bates gave quite a different com- plexion to the game, and with 118 to win on a wicket wet with rain, things for the first time looked a little queer for the Gentlemen. Some questioned their ability indeed to get the runs , but Mr. Frank Penn's well hit 48 helped themat the crisis , and they wona very interesting matchby five wickets , The eleven Players were all Northerners ,
