AN INNINGS VICTORY. HIGH SCHOOL BEATS COLLEGE. Gaining the most substantial victory that the match has provided for a number of Christchurch Boys' High School beat Christ s College in the annual contest played at He High School ground, Straven road, on Wednesday and yesterday, by an innings an 71 runs. High School, having gained a strong position on the first day by scoring 283 and getting two College wickets for 20, pressed Jiomo their advantage by steady bowling and fine fielding yesterday. College made a very poor showing with the bat, and it is safe to say that the School bowling was not treated on its merits. The attack was steady, but not particularly veno- | mous, and far too often half-volleys were patted softly back to the bowler. F. N. Fenwick, missed before he had scored on the. first day, was the only batsman to make a stand. He batted through the innings for 43 out of 87, being the last batsman to be dismissed. Fenwick was slow, but played a good captain's innings. The only other double-figure scorer was B. P. Smith, a lefthander who, in his treatment of the Blow howling, showed some ability as a hitter. He was, however, very restrained for the greater time during a valuable partnership with Fenwick that added 41. The College second innings was very little improvement upon the,first, the difference in the scores being accountable to the efforts of the tail-enders, who must have been assisted by the fact that the bowling was tiring. As in the first innings, five wickets were down for less than 40, but M. G. Somcrville and Smith, with cautious crickot, improved the postiion, another good partnership being provided by W. J. Byrne and R. E. Alexander. 11. F. Cook, R. E. Menzies, and A. P. Cobden shared the bowling honours for School, these three.sustaining the attack with but littlo assistance. Cook, a slow ' leg-break bowler, took five for 29 and three for 34, keeping an excellent length and turning quickly off the pitch. Cobden (three for 24 and two for 28) bowled very consistently, particularly in the first innings. He bowls at slightly more than medium pace, and has an e « oe " ent that turns a little from the off. Menzies, also of m'edium pace, was steady and accurate, taking one for 12 and three for 21. Vincent, a left-hander, took two cheap wickets at the end of the second innings. from the mistake that gave Fenwick "'.'fe" on tho first day, there were few blemishes on the School fielding, which was marked by clean ground work, good backing up, and excellent throwing in.

Andrew's proved the winners by 164 runs. At the'close of play on Wednesday St. Andrew's had mado 155 and 46 for the loss of one wicket, and John McGlashan 92. With overcast skies, tho light was not particularly good far tho resumption of play. In St. Andrew's second innings the outstanding performance of the game was made by W. A. , Goss, who scored 45. He had a good deal of luck, as he was missed three times before being caught in the slips. D. L. Cropp's 30 included a six. J. K Welsford baited carefully, but was badly beaten by an off-break from Bigg Syijies, who continued from yesterday, miesed his first ball; hit a six for tho second, and went out on the third. A. Sutherland and S. Lambert made the only good stand for McGlashan, putting up 43 between . them. With their dismissal, Sutherland being bowled by Welsford and Lambert caught by P. Williamson off Welsford, wickets began to fall easily, and there was no recovery. The visitors seemed to be unable to handle Welsford's bowling, and lie dismissed six of them for 35. «■ Scores:—

Unrivalled as an authority on cricket history, Mr Frederick Samuel AshleyCooper, who died at his home at Milford, Surrey, had not quite completed his Both year. v From his C'.irließl days he was troubled with poor' health, and' consequently did not. follow any profession, and yet his researches and his literary output involved an amount of labour which might well have deterred the most robust of men. Altogether he brought out 103 books and pamphlets on the game, besides a very large amount of matter, including 40,000 biographical and obituary notices. And every production of his pen was characterised by phenomenal accuracy. In conjunction with Lord Ha,rris, Mr Ashley-C<*per brought out "Lord's and the M.C.C." (dedicated to King George), and 'with Mr P. F. Warner he produced "Oxford and Cambridge at the Wicket." Other products of his pen were "Cricket' Highways and Byways," "Curiosities of First-class Cricket," "Eton and"Harrow at, the Wicket," "Gentlemen v."Players," and "W. G. Grace, Cricketer." Mr Ashley-Cooper edited the newspaper ''Cricket** for five years, and in 1920 he held the Becretarvship of the Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. He waß responsible for more than thirty years for "Births and Deaths" and "Cricket" Records" in "Wisden."'
