LANCASTER PARK y. WEST OLD BOYS The weakening of the Lancaster Park attack by the departure of J., H. Parks was celebrated by the revival of the West Old Boys’ batting.

Of Hobbs’s 99 runs, 70 came from boundaries. G. Dryden and R. Hitchcock, both of whom were not out, carried Lancaster Park’s score from 93 for six wickets to 220/ Scores; — WEST OLD BOYS
