Another County Cricketer To Go

with the services of Thomas McMurray. This 28 years old batsman showed high promise some time ago, and played a number of fine innings for the county. Incidentally, he can claim to have played in a Test, for he fielded as a substitute in the Oval Test against the Australians in 1934, and earned rounds of applause by some fine work.

EXCITING TUSSLE

As expected, the match between C. F. Remedios and H. A. Alves pro- duced splendid struggle. There was never very much in I, although Remedios held a slight advantage early all the way. On the 7th head, the winner led 6-2; at the 12th he was 9-3; at the 16th, 12-7; but then Alves staged a fine recovery between the 17th and the 20th, which not only enabled him to draw on level terms but actually to pass his opponent. Alves toristered a, two, three, three and ont la lead 10-12 on the 20th,

At the 22nd, Alves was leading 18-13 as the result of a two, but he got stuck there and never scored again, whereas his opponent went on to his game by having one, two, two, one and three in successive heads.

The game between A. R. Minu and A. M. Omar was another close affair. The evenness of the struggle

attested by the scores:-8-7. for Minu on the 8. 9-8 for Omar on the 0th, 12-11 for Minu on the 14th, 13-13 on he 18th, 18-18 on the 19th, 10-10 on the 21st, 19-10 for Omar on the 22nd and 19-18 on the 24th.

In the 25th head, however, Minu scored a three to win out.
