CRICKET.

M.O.C. t. SOUTHLAND. EASY WIN FOR VISITORS. (Feb United Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, January 22. The Marylebone-Southlund match concluded to-day in splendid weather. The wicket was uneven during the iirst few hours, and showed sighs of wear towards the close. Driscoll and Gilbertson continued, and by patient cricket brought 120 up before the former wont Ibw to Brand. Doig did not stay long, adding two, and ho was followed by Dixon, who put seven more on the board. Glozier helped Gilbertson to carry the score to 146. Glozier made 17 by free cricket, including one six. Fogo was the last man, adding three. Gilbertson played carefully for 15. Tyldcsley and Hill-Wood opened the Englishmen’s second innings, but the latter went at 7. Freeman came in, and went when seven more hud been added. Gibson and Tyldesley carried the score to 53, when the latter skied one to mid-on. Gibson went at 66, and Brand and Hartley carried the score to 83, when the former was stumped in trying to hit Kavanagh. Maclean then joined Hartley, and when 101 was hoisted the innings was declared closed. Southland made little headway against the •visitors’ bowling, Marylebone winning by 196 runs. The attack of Calthorpe proved too deadly for the home batsmen, who were too curetul in playing lor a draw. The fielding of the Englishmen was particularly smart, all possible chances being accepted. Kavanagh, Groves, and Doig were the only batsmen to shape encouragingly. Scores: ENGLAND.

(Received Jan. 23, at 1.15 a.m.) There is considerable heartburning among cricket bodies in the various States over the alleged policy offering inducements to players to forsake their own State for another, in order to strengthen the latter’s representative team. It is stated that two leading South Australians have been induced to go to Victoria. This is specially (jailing in view of the fact that South Australia, With its full present strength, made such a poor showing in the Sheffield Shield thatches. JUNIOR REPRESENTATIVES. CANTERBURY v. WELLINGTON. (Peh United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, January 22. A junior representative cricket match. Canterbury against Wellington, commenced Hero to-day. The weather was showery and the wicket sticky. Canterbury batted first and made 119 (Cronib 17, Milner 32, Oliver J 9, Spaan 18, Murchison 11). Wellington lost seven wickets for 91 (Cousins 36, Almao 22). ; REPRESENTATIVE CRICKETER. TRANSFERENCE TO DUNEDIN. JJTbom Odb Own Correspondent.) CHRISTCHURCH, January 22. Mr R. do R. Worker, of the West Christchurch Cricket Club, played his last game in club cricket in Christchurch on Saturday. After the southern tour of the Canterbury team, of which Worker will be a member, He will take up a teaching appointment at fire Otago Boys’ High School. “Canterbury’s loss is Otago’s gain,” said the Sun. Worker is a left-hander, and is a resolute and patient batsman who, with an aggregate of 356 runs in nine innings in club cricket this season —an average of 37.33 runs —is fourth in the batting averages of the province. He is an opening batsman and a consistent scorer, and but for his weakness in putting his leg in front of his wicket he might have attained New Zealand representative honours. Both in club and in representative cricket he opens with the jnoro brilliant R. C Blunt, and the two lipake a splendid combination, having a complete understanding in running between the wickets. Worker is also a splendid outffeld—sure and certain—who can ajways bo depended upon to take u catch, and "ho throws fast and accurately to the wickets. He learned his cricket under F. Shaddock, the veteran coach, and ho is a product of the Auckland Grammar School. Three seasons ago he came to Christchurch, and then opened up in club cricket with a century {Snce then he has been a tower of strength tb his province. Chiefly he will be remembered for his 65 runs against the M.C.C. team when he was associated with Blunt in a memorable first-wicket partnership which put on 208 runs. Canterbury can ill afford to lose a player ot W orker s description.
