'24 • COMPARISON WITH RECORDS. 1 " The highest total:on ; record iii : ono innings! ofa first-class, match was cQmpiled by New South' Wales, who, at Sydney, in, January,' 1901, made 018 in one iniiihg6, against South Australia, It is noteworthy that, two. of tlip century-getters in that match , are also-century-getters in the-pre-sent .onethey are. S.;Gregory (188) and Noble (158). Other 9 who scored centuries in the great lnniriss in '1901 are L. O. S. Poidevin (140; not v out), R. A.. Duff (119), and F. A. Iredale (118 J. ...On the present occasion the New South Wales batsmen have not equalled their 1901 record, nor the-887 compiled .by Yorkshire (Peel 210 I not out, Lord ,Hawke 166, Wainwright 126, Jnckfion' 117); against <in» .May, '1890. The 1 813 scored by 'the Australian's- in 1893 .'at Portsmouth against Past and Present of Oxford andv-Cambridge "Universities: is., also., not equalled;, but .the . present score exceeds, New, South- Wales's 807, (against South "Australia)' at Adelaide "in> December, ,1899, and 805' Victoria) at Melbourne in December, 1905.. " As regards,the Noble-Bardsley second wicket Sartnership, of 304; it;may. be pointed out,that le longest partnership on record-in :any match is :the'second wicket total-of 623 compiled, by j Capt. Oates and I'io. -Fitzgerald for the Ist RoyalV Munster'. fusiliers' v. Army Service t Corps, at : the, Curragh, .Time .12, 1895. :In -first--class cricket, • that great * Notts pair, Shrews-' bury and >Wnv Gunn,.: scored. . 398 runs for second wicket .against Sussex at Nottingham in May,. 1890; this being the fifth most, productive j,partnership ; on'record in a first-class match. -, THE SETTLEMENT OF THE PLAYERS' DISPUTE. London, January 25. The newspapers express, great satisfaction at, the .acceptarioe of the Board of Cricket Control's terms by the players, which will -assure a representative team being Bent. ' ["The public was emphatically.' behind the movement, whioh led to.the formation of'the Board ofCrioket Control (writes the "Sydney Morning Herald"), and it-has ever since been wishful that Australian cricket in its relation to the Old Country should be controlled by a body' concerned,' in the first place, with ,the game father than with the money to bo made out of it, and determined in the second place to have each Australian eleven chosen on its merits, and'not by a group of prominent players selecting themselves, Fortunately, the steady pressure which has been exerted upon' thev.dissatisfied players ihas;led moat of thorn to taie. more reasonable views."] .
