CRICKET DYING HARD.
LAST MATCHES OF SEASON. NORTH BEATS THE SOUTH. (Received 9 a.m.) LONDON, September .24. The North of England, 162 and 62 for three wickets, beat the South of England. 160 and 63. Boy Kilner (Yorkshire) took five wickets for 11 runs. F. E. Woolley (Kunt) completed his two thousand runs and exceeded hie hundred wickets. This is the third time he has accomplished the feat. Cricket i_i dying hard this season, and it is probably a record to have two firstclass games played after September 20. both being played at the Air Force Festival at Eastbourne. The prolongation of the season has hardly proved a success so far, heavy sea mists deadening th« wicker, and giving the bowlers the upper hand throughout the North v. South match, which lasted under nine hours. The game commencing to-day, winding up the season, is the Air Force v. the Rest of England. The former team includes Hobbs, Hardinge, Woolley, Fender, and Waddington. Chief interest is whether Hobbs will succeed in making his hundredth century.—(A. and N.Z.)
