SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP.

J LINWOOD v. SYDENHAM. j i This game wr.s commenced at Lan- j ■ carter I'ark. Lir.wood had rather a:' '' doubiiul advantage in the choice of i innings, but decided to bat. The wicket . wa<- very soft, and the batsmen, in at- ■ tempting to pk'.y a forcing tjame. made 'no lengthened .stand, the iniiincs b;-.n^ i over in an hour and a half for 98. The , i brothers A. K. and It. Ridley both bat- : ■ tvd nicely, the latter making some ! I h-antil'iil'drives. WaWMi bowled splen- ; I didly. getting the line figures of seven ■ I tor Si'i. Sydenham h;ul 1:0 difficulty in j j piissing their opponents" total. which i they did. with the kiss of only 3 wickets. After this, however, th- ljow'crs ! had a turn, and at call ot time, the score was 12'J for 7 wiekots. Hayts and Gray both batted carefully, but j aggressively, for their runs, whilst | Neild's contribution at the start was very acceptable. Scores: — LIXVTOOD. First Innings. J D.
