At*15 Man was out L.B.W. and J runs later, Anthony was run out, io a piece of smart fielding. Merrick, following in, had a short but merry innings. In two overs, he hit a 3, two 4's and two singles but a gow length ball beat him and uprooted the middle stump, J. Chappell was playing hig usual waiting game and the howl- ing changes proved of no avail After a stay of over a half hour a rising ball went from his gloves to be caught. He had contributed a well earned 18 runs, and the fielders applaudetl him for his tenacity. FF. Hodgkinson and F. Whitfield made a short stand, the former getting his eye in nicely when he was caught out Ly a magnificent catch on the bound- ary's edge by Mawhood and the innings closed for a total of 72 runs. Not a very safe score on the Peterborough ground hut the other team had to get 73 to win. Peterborough made a disas- trous start on going in to hat. The stumper missed a ground ball and the batsmen started to rum. Hodgkinson, fielding at five leg, whipped up the ball and with un- erring alm, hit the wicket, with the batsman two feet from the crease.
