THE CLUB SIDE.
Though all their stars were away except Duckitt and Hayward the Club did not have such a bad team by any means. Curiously enough neither Bowker nor Redmond got any wickets, and it remained for Higg, who is alwaya dangerous if ho strikes a longth, to break the Arst partnership and then to collect four more cheap wickets. Duckitt
