I STOURBILIDGE V. WORCESTER CLATNES.—A match WAS
played on the Stonrbridge ground on Monday last be-
tween the above clubs. Stourbridge won the toss and
electel to go in. The two first to represent the home ,
team were Messrs. Green and Woodhall, the former was '
bowled by Morris by the last ball in the second over for -
a" duck." Lowe was the next man in and was bowled '
by H. Penn for a" duck," two wickets down for 3 runs. -
Edge then went in and made a hit for 3 when he was '
bowled and caught by Morris. Edwards was the next ,
man in and he played very steady for 1 ran, Webb was
hitting away when he was by a shooter from Penn.
Parkes then went in and was joined by Rodgers, the
latter was bowled by Penn, first ball Pearson followed
Rodgers. Parkes had a "life,' being missed by the
bowler Merris tor an easy catch. Perry, the last man,
was bowled and caught by Morris, the whole being out
for the small score of 48 The Chines then went in to
bat and the first 4 wickets fell for 21 runs when the bell
rang for dinner. On commencing the game after dinner
runs were made fast and 108 was telegraphed at the fall
of the last wicket. Barkley made the top score, 38;(not
out) but was given out by the umpire when he:had
scored but few runs and was allowed to go in again.
The reason of this was that a boundary hit was made
and one of the players called out " save the 3." The
batsmen stopped running and Barkley'a wicket was put
down and he was given out, but allowed to go in again.
In the second innings of Stourbridge 9 wickets fell for
57 runs. The following is the score :—Stourhridge : W.
Green, b Morris, 0--c C. Barkley. b Morris, 0; J. H.
