The

game was quite an open oue, but the Rest would have come down badly but for a half-century by F S. W. Smith. He has been taking a good many wickets lately in quite good compay and I rather expect to see him in the K.C.C. First Eleven next year, if he is in the very difficult Colony, He is bowler to score off, as a rule, and his peculiar éireular run up to bow! round the wicket makes him more dificult But he did not seem to me difficult to keep out of one's wickets, if one wished to stop in, By the way, he is one of these bowlers whom the umpires should always cause to run across in front of them. Dodging up from behind the umpire at the last moment is, strictly, unfair play. I don't for a moment suggest that Smith docs this-I don't even recollect that he does run that way. But there, are

Another point to be looked after is the returning of the ball to the wicket Keeper While last year our catching was better than that of either of the two sides, and our ground-fielding at least equal to theirs, cur throw- ing, both in distance, direction and "length," was sadly at fault. It is very hard to get the proper thing but there is no doubt what it is The ball should come to the wicket keeper six laches over the bails, either long hop or full "toss. quarter of an hour at the end of the day's practice with about four men to a stump and a properly padded and gloved wicket keeper behind each would do marvels, I fancy, and it could be done when the light is too bad for play.

But I confess I was unaware that an um- pire wishing to do so must first ask permission of the fielding side. Another detail that is nearly always neglected by umpires in minor Club cricket is to settle by which clock or watch stumps shall be drawn.

It has struck me that there have been a few players in the second League who are really quite up to first League form, but from circum stances, or from inclination, they turn out in the junior, matches.
