(8.18) has not shown much improve. pnt with the bat, but played one or two good innings with tho help of a good deal of irk E. W. Smith (10.3), a good bat, hits well to leg ; heads batting averages; lacks Anerirv and dash in the field. F. M. Plaistowo (7.4) has some idea of batting, but lacks ronfbicnce; fields fairly well at times. H. J. Capper (capt., 1832) (7.1), much improved asa bat, but there is still plenty of room for improvement; fairly safe but clumsy field H- T. Ravenor (6 2), feeble a3 a batf, but played one or two good innings; lacks Activity in the field. R. P. Bowden (5 11), a very useful bowler, and with practice mddit improve; not much resource as a bat. T. R. Moore (5.6), not much idea of cricket, but does his best. F. Chccketts (4.4), a most useful long-stop, and, though “ undersized” with the bat, manages to make some good hits ; always plays up well. H. J. Fisher (4.4) might make a fair wicket-keeper if he did not get so slack, and learnt to take a ball from the field. L. E. Hodges (4), fairly straight bowler ; not much style in batting. R. Purser (2.5), a fair bowler and sharp field if he can reach the ball. ARDINGLY COLLEGE, HAYWARD’S HEATH.-Capt., W. Newham. Distance from Hayward’s Heath, 3 miles. Matches, 8—won 8. F. K. Hilton (6.3) has been un­ fortunate this year in his batting, and in fact has seemed out of form ontirely. We cannot help thinking that it is because he did not play in his old stylo. A. E. B. Lacell (8.2) has been of very great service with the ba t ; can be thoroughly depended on in the field. W. Blackman (21.6) has hardly batted so well for the college as for tho county, but his bowling was, with ono or two exceptions, irresistible. Played for Sussex. W. Newham (21.6) has been consistent all through tho season; a splendid field anywhere, but especially in the country; has greatly improved his slows, and is beginning to have a break both ways. Played for Sussex. E. W. R. Walters (12.1) vastly improved both in batting and fielding, though in the latter there is still room for improvement; has discarded his fast bowling for slows, and promised to be suc­ cessful with these. W. A. Bettesworth (42.3) has played, if possible, hotter than ever ; amagnificent bat with strong defence, never letting off a loose ball; bowled grandly at beginning of the season, but, owing to an accident, was not so successful towards the end. Played for Sussex. G. Brann (9.2) was unable to play in tho early part of the season owing to illness, and was most unfortunate with umpires’ decisions ; hits very hard, and when he gets a little more steadiness will bo invaluable; a capital field.^ W. M. Thompson (5.3), in the eleven for his bowling, which is fast, with plenty of spin, and if at all helped by tho ground has a good break from tho o if ; lias a good deal to learn in the field. S. S. B. Emmatt (5.1) has not been uniformly successful, but is generally to be depended on against bad bowling, which, however, he didn’ t ttwetwith. A. P. Towle (1.3) gives promise of being a cricketer. A. E. Gatewoll (hi), a slow field. 5; Walters . w. Blackman 5* Thompson , ” • A. Bettesworth &•& B. Lacoll . ” •Newham . . B owling A verages . Balls. Maidens. Runs.
