BATTING AND BOWLING AVERAGES:
M
Only two league matches have been played since the last list of averages was published, and there are not changes. Commander Gibson takes third His scare of 60 place in both listy. against the sappers gave him third place. amongst the batsmen.
He did not play on Saturday, or he might still further. have improved his averages, as he is in Arst-class forra just now. Hamilton im proved his position and took his both wicket, but is still cnsiderably below Coub, who will probably retain the top position. Only Pearce or Marley could displace him, and that only by an un canny performance.
The fight for top. place in the bowling averages has been very
keenly contested, and Cobb' s success is a very popular one. His best perform. anees have been 6 for & against the Mil- dlesex, 6 for 31 against the Club, & for 34 and 7 for 15 against Craigengower, and 4 ford against C.R.C.
