He took part in the colts . match totday, and created a very favour- : able impiession among the players and onlookers at Lancaster- Pa™:- ' The. new arrival- is- a welUet-up young fellow, and the- right stamp of man for a. cricketer. He is- fairly active, as was shown by his running between the .wickets^ and as he proved himself a good judge 0.a run he ?ot the most value for his stroke?. , Playing for the colts, he scored 59,- an*; was still unbeaten when play stopped at a quarter-past 6. Be is a batsman of thej solid type, having a- very good defence. iie, is not nearly so punishing a bat as Hum- . phreys. last year's coach, but he is *>™ d f f I in defence and has a much better btyle afi, the wicket. -As a rmxjel for young , P lft J c ™( I he should be an improvement on the Kent ! professional.
