THE CRICKET T

On Easter Monday the 18th last an inter
esting match took place on prosperity
ground between the Christiansted Cricket
Club and the Fre1erlksted G.. c.. This was
the On match to be played for thu "Chal.
lenge Cup the LIST la7ilg been Won by the
c.. (. G..
The cup was presented by Mr.. Gautjer, who
requested that she Team WAC won two match
es consecutively should hold it.
The day proved to be y fine ono FL Cricket.
The Capt. Of the f. G. c., havin : won the toss
sent his opponents to the wicket. Mossrs.
Armstrong and Gautier facet the bowling OF
Me8srs Skeoch an1 DlB)is These two
batsmen played a st9llY game aud the bat
ting of Armstrong is Hor5hy Of note. Gsutier
was clean bowled by Skeoch, AMI Colbeth
followed. This gentleman played a long anil
brilliant innings. Armstrong being caught, D
Jameson followed. After Jameson, Branch
went to the wicket and the hopes OF the
G.. 9. q. were raised when their Captain,
Branch, put together "a runs before he was
b0wIe1 by Dubois. 'olbeth was bpwlel
BY Jameson some time befpre. and Magyar
followed; this batsman did some very
pretty play las is his rulel and put together
l3runs, when he was boWled by Ske0ch. Leevy.
Lemming, Pentheny, Stakamann an Qleale
then followed, and after adding some runs to
the score the innings closed for d t tai Of
i25 runs. After a few minutes recess, Messrs
Hughue and Henderson went to the wick
cts on behalf of the F. G. c., but the brilliant
bowling Of Messrs. Meyer, AMI D. Jameson,
assisted by the fine fielding OF the team, prov
90 too much for the f. O. G. After FIVE wick
ets falling for II runs, Skeoch went to the
wicket, AMI m i'd a fine stand for his side, and
it was not till be hal male q ~faultIes8 20 that
he was run out. Tn other part If the team
did nothing worthy Of note in fact, they
seemed t. he utterly demoralized and at the
fall of the last wicket the score stood at 81.
The G.. G. q. captain put them back to the
wicket, but they seemed too d~ownsPlrited to
do anything and at the close Of their End in
ninga the SC ore stood at 36, making a grand
total Of s.. Victory was therefore declared
in favour of the c. &C. by an innings and 81
runs. May / not venture % hope that this
will be a lesson to them, and that this victory
will teach the i. 20. G. that without practice,
they can never hops to stand against the
c.. q. @. In conclusion ] would urge on them
not to be discouraged by failure, but to perse-
we're and try and retrieve a part OF their lost
honour. 10 the C,C.C. l would say, you
played we'll but you can play better. Prao-
tice hard, harder than ever, and double your
scores next time.
