WICKET KEEPING

EXTRAORDINARY

In the match between Mal- den Wanderers

and II Hounslow at Hounslow. which the Wanderers won by 163 to 12. London, of the Wanderers, accomplished the extraordinary feat of stumping seven batsmen in the innings.

Actually he was credited with

an

eighth stumping but he sportingly pointed out that the batsman had edged the ball and he was consequently given "ran out." So far as one can trace wicket-keeping feats, this record has only been beaten on one occasion.

In "1930, while playing in a house match at Repton, H. W. P. Middleton' caught one and stumped, eight in an innings. In first-class cricket, no player has ever taken more than seven wickets in an innings, unclad- ing catches and stumpings.

Chadwick Scores Fine Try

The Club rugby section may look forward to a season of progress this year, there be- Ing many promising players among the “new blood.” Once again we will see Chadwick and Wilson, whose absence last

| season, was felt in the Triangula? Tournament. The former, who re- cently returned from Canton; showed up well at the practice game held on the Club ground, Happy Valley, yesterday. Playing on the wing he used his speed to much advantage.

Wilson, whose injury in 1938. kept him out of the game, made a welcome retam yesterday.

Harold Bidwell, the Interparter, led. his side to victory,

Many new faces were seen. W. E. Grleve, whose ability on the rugger · Beld in Shanghai 15 well-known, was rather unsteady in his handling, but it is hoped that he will overcome this in the opening game against the Army on Saturday, October 15.

Of the regular team, Cessford, MacGrath and Henderson played well.

The game opened with the C- lours kicking off. Their strong pack brought the ball within the 25-yard line, but one of the op- posing side picked up the ball from the scrum. Bidwell took the penalty kick and dropped a fine goal.

In the second half, Cessford's partnership with Grieve resulted in atry for Button.
