(Received June 13, 5.5 p.m.) Tlie first representative cricket match, Gentlemen versus Players, will be played at the Oval on June ."0. Warner will pick the sides, which indicates that he will have a most powerful voice in selecting the team for Australia. He has invited Parkin, the Lancashire professional, to play on June 30. The latter has the reputation of being the best bowler in England since Barnes. Parkin, like Barnes, prefers League cricket. ■Warner’s invitation and Lancashire's consent indicate that Parkin may be invited to Australia despite the Marylebone ruling barring from representative matches and tours abroad players not pledging themselves to assist their county when required. Playing for Gloucester against Warwick, Parkin took six wickets for 48, the last five in ten balls for no runs.
