ST ALBANS. St Albana (202) had captured eiz wiokets for 85 when play ceased on the first day. The Linwood innings underwent no recovery, although A. .Tones played very confidently. Ho had scored twelve singlas on the first day, but ho opened out with fours and twos. Ho lost IT. Grant at 105, and waa bowled by Reoae two later. Russell foil at 116. K. Smith was batting freely for the last wicket when ho was well caught at square leg by 11. Hatch, fielding as substitute. Sandman's average, six tor 68, was particularly good in such company. Linwood followed on, but started disastrously. A, Grant scored a single off the first ball. Taylor hit the next ball short to log. His partner was ill-advised to attempt the run, and Brunton got the bails off easily. The hard part of it wan that Rueeell, fielding substitute for the.moment, helped to run his club mate out. N. Jonee, who was stumped in the firtt innings, lost his wicket cheaply in trying to play Lamb to leg, but ho nunjudged the paco, and his leg stump went. Tho very next ball, from Sandman, clean bowled Taylor, and three wiokota were down for 4. Pongelly and Smith were left to stop the rot. Smith was severe on Lamb, driving him hard to the off. He was extraordinarily quick between the wickets. At 25 Martin relieved Sandman and Allard took the ball from Lamb. Pengelly was caught at the wicket off an easy ball from Allard, 46—4—15. Smith and Thomas then commenced an exhilarating inninga. Thomas waa dropped on the boundary at 23, but, although there were chaucos, the play was good to watch, and twenty camo off one of Sandman's overs. Reese and Gordon were tried with the score at 120. The change waa fatal to Smith, wlio drove a ball from Gordon hard to Sandman, who took a good catch. His score was 71. and the partnership added 89. 185— 6— 71. Thomas, partnered by Jones, becamo very vigorous approaching the century. The Linwood innings olosed for 28), shortly lifter 5.50 p.m. Allard and North opened for St Albana, who required' 95 to win and had fifty minutes to bat. Thomas and Read opened the attack rather ineffectively, and runs name freely, North, curiously enough, doing most of tho scoring. He lashed at a straight ball from Read when he was 82 and was given lbw ,-ft_l_32. When Brunton went in A. Grant relieved Thomas, and in hid second over Brunton lifted a high one to Porrin. 69—2—5. Allard and D. W. Reese slowed down _ a bit after this, and there was more sting in the bowling, but Allard waa extremely vigorous towards tho end, and by hard hittiny carried his eide to an eight wioket victory in the ! last over.
