CLUB ARMY. FIRST MATCH OF THE CHRISTMAS

TOURNAMENT.

A Poor Start.

The only thing that then seemed possible was that there would be a draw, unless the Army won. And subsequent events rather boked like the latter. Bowker was l.b.w. to Dobbie and Vallack was bowled "Eight for 190 and about twenty minutes to go.

The Catastrophe.

Cold though the weather was yester day morning there was a bright sun and the early promise of a perfect cricketing

I use the above word strictly in its day was speedily fulfilled. The Club side Greck sense. Hinton went in with fifty was completed "by Hinton, while Hamil.add needed, and only Hamilton, who was ton took the place of J. D. Humphreys crucked, to come in. He then proceeded to lay about him. One cannot describe who was unable to play. Morris won the his batting as classical. It reminded one toss and elected to bat upch what proved rather of bringing home the Yule leg,. than of wielding the willow. But, and to be an excellent wiekut.

but "be connected. He a very big and Gardner proceeded to hit everything served up to them extraordinarily hard. The light bad failed, and the only man who could see very much of the ball was the man who had it against the screen, There seems to have been some doubt about a six, hit by Hinton, but it did nut cake very much difference. It was signalled and scored, and when one ball was lefe to go, the scores were a tie at ball for four and a 250 each. Kidton despatched, that last most unexpected victory was gained by the, Club. "

Bowker and Vallack opened to Hankey and Evers. The former snicked one from Bowker for a single between bis legs and the wicket, but played back to Vallack's first ballant, though he ap peared to touch it, he was bowled. (1.1.1. Bridgeland then came in and cut the left-hander for four but later on picked a real good un from the same bowler which pitched on his pads and took the top of the andate stick. Morris then joined Evers and bogau u stand The which was to put on over 150 TUBS, batsmen played a safe game and Bowker

It is, how and Valack bowled well. ever, probable that they were kept on a little too long from the tactical point of view, as they kept the batsmen play ing the ball all the time. As it was they were on fitty minutes white only about forty runs were scored but the batsmen were set, whereas if'a bit of trific had been served up they might have had a go. But it is so easy to be wise, after

the event!

Sayer and Owen-Hughes went on as first change, but the latter after bowling quite a good first over, developed a series of full tosses which proved ex pensive. Nor did his successor Hinton do much better, and the score proceeded apace The batsmen wisely attempted no big hits of Sayer, contenting themselves with big singles along the carpet..

Holes on the Play.

The result of the match is in some ways unsatisfactory, although too much praise cannot be given, to the magnificent effort of Hinton and "Gardner at the end. It had been "arranged to play to 5.45 p.. but the light for the last quarter of an hour was impossible for the fielders. On the other hand had one of the two successful batsmen been out, it is very doubtful if Hamilton in his injured con dition could have survived a ball or two.

Merris, who has been on the injured list for some time, played a very safe. innings; he was not dropped at all. Evers though on two occasions he might have been caught, was very sate. The palin, however, in the batting line goes to "Tom" Hayward, whose 04 was a really beautiful knock, polished yet forceful.

Dobbio hit very safely, and he was the mainstay of the attack. He reminds me very strongly of Tennyson's Brook, for apparently he can go on for ever! The rest of the Army bowling, except per- haps Thorpe, was not very convincing.

The scoring stopped a httle with Bowker and Hamilton on and Evers might have been taken at first slip off the latter when ne had scored sixty odd Vallack bowled better than he has out or 120 on the board. But neither done for a long time, and has good reason batsman really looked very much like to be pleased with his bowling in the getting out. Hamilton ricked his back game. and had to leave the field, and Vallack came, on in his place. Just before tilfin Evers went down the pitch to Owen Hughes and was stumped by Pearce, though he did not take the bails of the first time. of asking.

...

The Club fielding on the whole was good, though there was one individual not getting behind the ball if you have rather at fault. There is no excuse for

time. Mitchell in the long field did a tremendous amount of work, while Bevis, for the Army was always working. Pearce, behind the sticks, is I think much better than Fogden, though admittedly

For four con- secutive overs he took a wicket with the last ball: Lightfoot had been caught: next over he bowled Dobbie with a magnificent ball. Wright was also bowl. ed, and he finished the innings by getting Thorpe with the last ball of the next over and Edmcades and Fogden with the first two of the next. He thus rom- pleted his hat-trick and in all took sigh! wickets for fifty-nine. It was a really fine performance in an innings, of 950, and I don't think I have ever seen him bowl so well...

Hong Kong Ba

Mitchell and Hayward went just after 3 p.m. to face Dobbie (Naval Yard end) and Hankey. It soon became apparent that it was defiance and not defence. Mitchell was bowled at 19 by a beauty from Dobbie, when he had made 10, but Hayward and Owen Hughes proceeded to lay on to the bowling. With the score. at 57 Lightfoot came on for Hänkey, while Thorpe relieved Dobbie next over. The rate of acoring dropped a little though bath batstien played pretty cricket. Thorpe was bowling a bit on the leg side and Fogden saved well on several occasions, when the batsman had missed the ball. Hayward was playing very stylish cricket and in one over of Lightfoot took a very pretty four to long- leg and a beauty past cover for a similar number. Next over Thorpe got one past Owen Hughes and took his leg stamp. (05.2.32) The outgoing batsman had played fine forcing cricket for his runs. Dobbie then went on for Lightfoot at the Law Courte end. Thorpe, however, got the next wicket bowling Sayer with one to which he played back. The bull seemed to come across from leg and tako the off stump. The score bad not bees mounting so rapidly at this period, and Lightfoot, relieved Thorpe, Pearce on drove the new-comer for four, while, Hay- ward, who before this had completed his filty, got a beautiful off-drive to the boundary off.
