CRICKET.

ENGLISH TEAM IN AFRICA. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Capetown, Nov. 21. Marylebone won by an innings and nine runs. The Eastern Provinces in the second innings made 200 (Boltman 23). Woolley took three wickets for 40 runs, Fender five for 51. Correction: Marylebone’s score was 336. THE TEST SELECTORS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington# Last Night. The selection committee for the cricket tests is: Messrs. Ken Tucker (Wellington), C. N. Sneddon (Auckland), and J. Martin (Dunedin). In Mcnday’s issue in the "B" grade in our report it was made to appear that the match, Western Park Wanderers v. Harbor Works, played at the racecourse, was won by Harbor Works. This is not correct. The four innings were not played, ‘ the being decided on the first innings, the park team making 58, and the breakwater team 26. Says the Adelaide correspondent of the Sydney Referee: Time is a wonderful healer. It Is not so many years ago that Clem. Hill was looked upon In this State as not only the great left-hand batsman, but also as a good executive officer. He was always representing the State on the Board of Control; but after the trouble between that body and the famous six, he found himself gradually being dropped from the various positions. As was only to be expected, he lost a certain amount, of interest in the game, but a couple of seasons back, whqn cricket, was at a very low ebb In this State, those in control realised that they could not do without Clem. Hill, and first .asked him to lead a team of colts to Melbourne, and afterwards requested him to keep a watchful eye on the youngsters coming on in this Sttae. Now he has been elected a member of the South Australian Cricket Association, an honor sought by many, but obtained by very few, and the strange part of It all is that he was elected unopposed. One wonders what those members of this Council will think with Clem. Hill among them again, when, not so long ago, he was not 'elected to represent them on the Board of Control. The latest honor for Clem, is, no doubt, all the more appreciated because he was sought and practically forced to take the position, for it is at last being realised that he can do infinitely more for cricket and cricketers than moat men In this State.
