The First Day

(By "R. Abbit")

The non-league game between the Club and K.C.C. started in brilliant sunshine at noon yesterday on a wicket that seemed good, though a puff or two of dust rising occasionally when a ball pitched made one wonder what would happen later. The Club won the toss and Kilbee and Richardson opened to Burnett and Lay.
