CRICKET NOTES Fitting Finale To Annual Triangular Tourney
(BY "NEW_LB.W."),
The Clab-Navy match on NewYear's Day was a fitting finale to the Triangular Tournament. It was a most interesting game, through- out, fortunes fluctuating first one way and then the other, and the finish was in keeping with the play. The game has already been pretty well covered and I do not propose to go over it in detail, but will mention Just the main points. Hayward won the toss and na÷ turally elected to bat on a good wicket. Trouble, came, early, and' "three wickets were down for 16 runs. Owen-Hughes and McLellan, however, then stopped the rol after Marshall had played a lucky In- nings of 28, and when McLellan went for a hard-hit 45 the score was 111. Afterwards there was very little in the innings, which closed
for 156.
I was surprised to see John Pearce going in so late as it was quite possible that a batsman of his type might have been very use- ful just when the bowlers were getting their talls up. The Navy"- felding was very good and the bowlers, generally speaking, bowled to their field. Cotman distinguished himself greatly at cover, and he must rank as one of the best ever seen on a local ground.",
