Harley and Ricketts seemed to make up their minds that the bat had to be put on to the ball and things began to look a little more hopeful. Garthwaite relieved Hamil ton at the Law-Court's read. The score had mounted to a hundred and eight when Harley, who had played a useful innings, skied ons from Garthwaite and was caught by Dewey in the gully. They had put on twenty-one useful runs. Ricketts, however, cracked a four to extra cover and there were four byes of a ball which nearly bowled him. Twenty-four runs to win

The End,

The change proved fatal to the Chub's chances. Ricketts hit rather a lucky four through the slips but in trying to drive Garthwaite, he put the ball to Dewey and was caught. The Army thus won by
