St Albans 13 put up a mood stand against the redoubtable East A team and still have a fighting chance of a lead on thefirst innings. As usual, • laitin and Thompson made the bulk of the runs for St Albans. The side mould be m Queen Street if either of these two faded. ..Martin mas badly run out by inompson. when he mas going mell a fate which the St Albans' men recognise as always liable to overtake them, ft is a pity that Thompson spoils his general all-round excellence by his bad running between the wickets. J nek man was showing a glimpse of bis old form when ho too was run out. An injury to his foot icceivecl some Saturday's ago lias crippled him to such an’extent that he cannot run with his usual dash. Lewis was batting soundly, when a run-out decision about which there seemed to bo some doubt sent him back. He had made his stroke and the ball had been returned to the wicket-keeuer. who was about to throw it back to ibe bowler, when lie noticed that Lewis appeared to be , standing on the line, hiking the bails (iff he appealed and the batsman was given out, much to his surprise. The point was a, very fine one, and it is questionable whether, oven if Lewis was out of his ground, the ball was not dead before Burns dislodged (ho bails. Bullock is fortunate in having such a variety and quantity of bowling at his command, and he managed it with excellent judgment. East are so strong in numbers that two men stand out of the team each match, and Andrews was one of the two for this game. Otherwise the St Albans total might have been smaller than it was:. AVilh their array of batsmen, 173 looked an easy Total tor East to catch, and Burns and Feast started off well, but three wickets were down for 29, when Audibcrt and Jones came together. Andibert was playing very carefully, but Jones opened out at once. Thompson retired in favour of Beid. whom Jones proceeded to punish with great vigour. Ho rattled up 53 in a few overs, including a couple of beautiful drives cle'Sn over the fence, but finally he foil a victim to Martin. Harrison taking a good catch low down in the slips. Ho gave two chances, one a hot one to the bowler, and another out in the country which the fieldsman might have got to. but otherwise there were no blemishes in Ids display. When Martin got rid of Andibert in his next over, St Albans began to breathe n little easier. Hollis and O’Loughlin did not stay long. G. Bullock. however, was batting well, and with his brother kept going tillestumps were down, East, with three wickets in hand, requiring 23 runs to overtake their opnonents.

West B had only eight men against Sydenham B, and made a very poor showing. Hammond again ton-scored, closely followed by White. Marshall had an off-day for once, his one wicket costing him 33. but Martin came out with tile good average of six for 31. Moods, the Sydenham batsman, has had a few lean Saturday lately, but be struck bis gait again, and" compiled a very sound SO. He and Martin put on 63 for the first wicket, and with Mather be. added exactly ICO for the next. The fourth wicket fell at 212, but thereafter there was a collapse, the hist six adding only 21. Hammond was chiefly responsible for this, .He had 32 rims hit off him before he took a wicket, witli the last ball of an over. He got another with the first hall of the next over. Then he had 13 bit off him, and followed up with a maiden, getting a wicket with'the fifth and eighth balls. The first ball of the next over gave him a wicket, the, third ball went for 1, and with the sixth and seventh he got two wickets. Three limes be took two wickets with successive balls, in two out of the three with the. last, hall of one over and the first of the next. He came out with the good average of six for 37, wliilo Wanklyn’s tour for 70 was, quite a good performance considering the score. The slow bowlers were unsuccessful. "West’s second innings started badly, the first wicket falling at 2 to Marshall’s first ball, but "White and Peake added another 30 before the former was stumped. As West are still ]29 runs behind. Sydenham looked to have an easy win assured. Like, their club-mates. West A were short-handed, only five men being present when their match against East B commenced. Four more arrived later, but they had to play two short. They made a had start, losing Buckhurst for 2, but Beard and Godfrey were associated in a good partnership, which added 50. A slump followed, the nest four wickets adding only 10, but Rollaild and Cameron added 40 for the seventh wicket. Neither batted very a.ttrac-i lively, but they stayed there, getting runs as best they might. Harry got four for IS with his fast ones. He might with advantage mix them a little more,

Bichnrds and M’Kenzic then carried on to 40, and the whole side was out for 42. Following on they have lost two for 15, so that they are in rather a bad wav.

NOTES BY “COVER-POINT.”

The 'sixth round of matches, which commenced on Saturday, did not produce anything out of the way in batting, with the exception of Bates’s score against St Albans—and it must be admitted that the attack was not very formidable.

CROWNALL v. ST ALBANS. The Senior match', Crownall v. St Albans, was played at St Albans, and despite persistent rumours to the contrary, the wicket was in very fair order and quite equal to those at Sydenham, where the balls were rising a good deal. St Albans batted first, ami made a very poor stand. The timing.! was more or less a procession, and eight wickets fell for 57, which concluded the innings, R. I’itt and K. Shrimpton being absentees. None of the St Albans batsmen made much showing against the bowling of Bates, who was particularly destructive, and secured six wickets for thir teen runs in six and a half overs, in his first over he secured two wickets for three runs. The fielding of the Crownall team was a solid factor in the innings, and was partly responsible for the small scoring of the St Albans team-

Tito Crow nail team soon demonstrated tlieir superiority, as they had passed St Albans’ score before the second wicket fell. Bates’s score, alone was more than the Saints’ total. Hobbs and Mills opened, but Pitt clean bowled the latter for the unlucky thirteen. Bates partnered Hobbs, ami the pair made the game very lively. Some 72 runs were on for the second wicket, when Hobbs was caught off Colville. With the dismissal of Bates for 79. the scoring quietened down for a spell. Bugg (2!) was the only other batsman to make much of a stand. Bennett, with 11 not out, was batting fairly well when the, last two wickets fell in quick succession. The innings dosed for ISi, a lead of 130, so that Crownall are practically assured of a three-point win.

The wickets were fairly well divided among the five bowlers tried, Colville getting the best figures with two for 20.

.RAILWAY v. GREEN'S. A fair number of spectators were present at the match between Railway and Green s in anticipation of a clc/e game, but the failure of lire RailddK team in batting robbed the match Wa good deal of interest. Greens batted first, and, although a Junior player was included, they batted one man short, as Gasson was absent. The innings commenced badly, and two wickets lell in the first over after four singles had been scored off Brosnahan. Waiter Cowlin. a promoted Junior, and Morris became, associated, and aided with a. fair amount of luck, carried the score to 17 for the third wicket, M.orris being caught behind the. wickets for 23. Cowlin was batting very nervously, but'brought off sonic nice leg glides to the boundary. Most of his runs, howore:-, came Irom tingles poked un on the off. He had several -i lives*’ at point, and eventually got caught behind the wickets by Grammar for 34. Duggan played the'best innings of the loam, and was content to score off the safe ones, only four fours appearing in bis total" of 11. None of the others made ranch headway, and the innings dosed lor 123, Duggan, Cowlin and Morris making 98 out of the total. The Railway bawling was very fair, but the lidding was patchy and numerous catches were dropped. The Railway team made a bad start, the first wicket falling for 2 runs, and four being down for cloven. The rising ball was misleading the batsmen a good deal, and strokes that should have kept the ball down were apt to do the reverse. No less than eight of the batsmen were caught out. Five wickets were down for IS, and six for 29, and the best stand was made for the ninth wicket. Oramraor and Andy Brown adding 24 before the former was caught off Jones. The last wicket fell for the same score, 64. Andy Brown was top scord’ with IS, including, three fours. H. Clarke (12) and Grammcr (10) were the only other double figure scorers. Jones and Duggan were the only bowlers tried, the former securing sixwickets for 33 and Duggan four for 31. Green’i started their second innings at twenty minutes to sis, and had scored 21 without the loss of a. wicket when stumps were drfiwn.
