W.Y.M.I.’S HARD TASK

WROATH IN FORM Going in first on a batsman s wickr. Green Lane made a good start again*; W.Y.M.I. at the Domain on Saturday The Lane men knocked up 241 in the]first strike and at stumps the Tour.c Men had three wickets down for 12. Green Lane began rather badly. EUior. and Clive Watts falling with nine each on the board. They were followed by Wroath and Paxton, who early got tie measure of the W.Y.MX bowler?. Fours began to go down on thf book with almost monotonous regularity when this pair opened out mk! it was not long before they had addcc 100 to the score between them. Frequent bowling changes seemed to maL no difference to the pair and It wsaH:. before F. Chapman found Paxton's middle stump with a fast one. Seccombe was next at the crease, bu: was clean bowled first ball by the bowler responsible for Paxton’s dismissal. Clarke, who then partnered Wroath. proved a better support and allowed him to go on merrily, knocking the bowling about for another 40 minutes. Finally Wroath skied one o' H. Chapman’s and Lewis was able to hold it. liis total was 67. Clarke continued to keep the field on the jump and was finally dismissed by Tates with a chanceless 52 on the book. The remainder of the team proved a weak tail and was dismissed for a total ©' 26. Mr. Extras added up to 36 and contributed in no small measure to tie Loners’ good total. After the tea adjournment the Young Men took orer the pitch and made a rather poor beginning. having lost three wickets for 32 at stumps. F. Chapman nrovw W.Y.M.I.’s best bowler, taking three for 56. Yates, with two for 43. and H Chapman and Allen, each with one frr 25. took the remaining wickets. Details:
