FINE INNINGS CLUB GETS THE

BY LT. MANNERS AGAINST CLUB
NAVY BEATEN IN TRYING TO FORCE A VICTORY
(By "it. Abbit")
Owing to circumstances over which I had no control I was unable to see the whole of the Navy and Club Match at King's Park on Saturday last. I missed a very excel- lent 63 scored by G. P. Longfield for the Club. It was a hard hit innings and I am told he did not give any notice- able chances. Haymes got over 30 and I am told that Alec Pearce was very unlucky to be given l.b.w. as the ball would almost certainly have gone over the wicket; how- ever, the Umpire didn't think so and it is all in the game!!
When the Navy started in to try wicket was very bad and that there and get 135 runs, they had not a wree 21 Jot muny people out when Manners knd Kennedy through it, E. F. Fincher played great deal of time, but at one time a
