CRICKET.
GOOD' INDIAN PLAYER. SUCCESS AGAINST YORKSHIRE. Jahangir Khan, who, by taking seven wickets for 58 runs in the opposing team's second innings, had much- to do with the Cambridge University cricket team's defeat of Yorkshire, the champion county, a few days ago, was a member of the All-India cricket team which toured England hist year. When the Indian team was at Cambridge for its match, with the university he arranged for his admission to the varsity after the tour was over. He is now 23 years of age. Jahangir Khan was reckoned one of the best all-rounders—-a hard-hitting batsman, a good med-ium-pace bowler who makes pace from the pitch, and a brilliant fieldsman—among the Mohammedan cricketers in India. But he was not in the first selection of the All-India team; he got in when the Maharaj Kumar of Vizianagram dropped out. Jahangir Khan's best performances with the
ball on the Indian team's tour were the taking of eight wickets for 33 runs aginst Oxford University, and four for 60 against England.
