DEFENCE v. ALL COMERS

There was somo bright hatting in the game between Defence and All .Comers, which was played on a’, wicket of a decidedly “sporting” nature, with the ball tending to bounce unduly high. , ‘ ‘ Defence took first innings and began well,' J. M. Robertson ; making 34 •out of .45 • put on for, the opening stand, hitting' five fours: Nicholson sent Shelton’s. second'ball for a great sixer and took two off the next, hut then was nicely caught one-handed by the bowler from tHo following delivery. (King left one run later, haying made 13 soundly, and Wiggins was very unluckily rim out through stepping outside His crease as the ball was being returned to the bowler. Graham took a bix from tho first hall sept down, to Rim, brut Harry Ellis was sixth man out at iQ3j,.jthe .veteran thaking a welcome re-appear-ance, showing mnch of his old' skill

in collecting 16. P. C. Dwyer also had his first innings since being injured in the opening match of the season and showed that he was not far from' his best by knocking up 17, including three fours. J. Smith used the long handle at the close, and carried his bat for 17, the last wicket putting on 22 and bringing the total up to 131. McKinley three for 19, Bound three fov 25, and Shelton three for 41 were the successful trundlers.

Mason and Griffiths opened the All Comers innings well by sending up 27, but the former was then nicely taken by Oliver off Smith for 13 (three fours.) Griffiths ran his score to 17, but four men were out for only 45'. Mahoney and Shelton made a good stand which added *29, the former theii departing for a-nicely-made 20. Shelton hit three fours in his 16, but tho advent of. King to the howling crease saw wickets fall rapidly. Illingworth sent one nicely through slips for a brace and glided another well to log for a similar tally, in a good attempt to hit off the runs, but.the last wicket fell at. 105. .King finished up with tho fine nn T alysis of six for 18 off 4.1 overs and sent down some excellerlt balls. Nicholson also 'bowled well, but unluckily, and Smith obtained two for 12.

Defence batted again for seven overs, making 69 for the loss of three wickets. Smith was very forceful in notching 20, his score including one six .and three fours,, while Nicholson also batted very freely for 2k not out (thiToo fours).
