STOULIBILIDGE V. BIBMINORAIL PICIEWICIL—The return
match was played between the above clubs on the
Stourbridge ground on Monday last, and like the last
OLW3 caused a great deal of excitement. The first match
was won by Stourbridge by two rens and it was evident
from the team that showed up on Monday last they
intended turning the tables, but they were again dis-
appointed. It will be seen by the names below that sue
of the best teams it was possible to get together by the
Pickwiek came over on Monday list. The Stuurbridg•
being well informed of what was cowing also got together
an excellent team to meet them and some fine cricket
WM displayed ca both sides. Piekwick Club included
Lb. following celebrated players :—Messrs. Talboya,
Preston, Price, Elliot, Ward, Rose, dec., but the bowling
of Griffiths and Penn was so good that runs were made
slow, the first five wickets fell for 15 runs. Rose and
Ward were the only two that could make a stand against
the bowling, when Ingold went on with his slows which
proved teams, and Rose was caught by Millward oft
Ingold's bowling, after adding 14 runs to the score, the
whole being out for 73 runs. At this stage it looked
like any odds on Stourbridge. After the usual interval
nessrs. Oakes and Ingold went to bat and both were
playing very steady, and 20 runs were put together when
Roso scumped Oakes and he appealed to their own
umpire who gave him out, amid cries of 'Not out, not
out." Oakes said he was not out of his ground by half a
yard, and some delay occured in the play. The umpire
of the Pickwick refused previously to give two ef Weir
own men out when stumped by Green, and the captaia
.f the Stoarbridge Club refused to continue the match
unless the umpire was changed which was done and
Barnsley substituted. J. Penn was the next man in, and
made 15, top score, having made some excellent cuts and
drives and was loudly cheered., Yates in a short time
added 13 to the score including a fine cut for 4, one 3,
one 2, and 4 singles. J. W. Parkes made a good stand
for 8 exhibiting some good steady cricket, and the first
five wickets fell for 56 runs, against 15 for the Pickwick
first five. At this part the bowling and fielding was re-
markably good there being eight wickets down for 72,
and the game got very exciting, nine down for 72, when
Rodgers had a leg bye and made a tie, amid great cheer-
ing. The next ball Talboys gave was ano ball, and the
following ball by Preston Rodgers hit it back to the
bowler, who well caught it, and Btourbridge won by one
run, thus adding another victory. The following is the
score :
