CRICKETERS TOUR
ANOTHER MATCH DRAWN RESULT OF DERBY GAME PLAY IMPOSSIBLE IN RAIN (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright] LONDON, June 16. Steady rain throughout the morning preventing resumption of play in the cricket match between New Zealand and Derbyshire. As the rain continued after lunch, the match was abandoned as a draw, as play was impossible. The continued bad weather is most, disappointing considering the proximity of the test. Mitchell, the Derbyshire leg-break bowler, is considered in some quarters as a candidate for the English side, but it is hardly likely he will replace Peebles or Robins.
Bowling in the Derbyshire match was: Matheson one for 12, Cromb non n for 21, Vivian none for 15, Merritt none for 6, Blunt none for 11, Weir none for 22.
