Match for the PhiladelphIans 1t
Was an Excellent Game tn Which
Some Very Good Work Was Done
by Men of both Teams.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2.-The great inter-
national cricket match between Australia
and Philadelphia, which began on Friday
last, ended at $40 O'Clock this afternoon,
Philadelphia winning by 6s runs and an
inning. No such fests have ever before
been performed by an American team in
an international match in this country,
and ss a consequence cricket enthusiasts
all over the city are jollifyiug to night over
the victory. Ths Australians generously
conceded the Philsdelphians all possible
praise, and are unanimously of the opin-
ion that no better all round game was put
up against them at any time during their
tour of England.
The game began this morning with Aus
tralia at the bat in continuation of their
fret inning, which began Saturday. They
had scored 1876 for a loss of four wickets
and as the weather and field were both per-
feet for batting, heavy score was sntioi-
pated. Contrary to expectations, how
ever, the visitors proved comparatively
easy marks. the homo players managing to
dispose of tbs remaining six wickets for
only "a runs, a remarkable feat consider
ing the reputation enjoyed by the Aus
trsliass as heavy batters. Total for first
inning 1879, of which Veteran George Gift
fen's we'll played 60 was the noteworthy
individual score.
The Australians started their second in
ming after twenty minutes rest, nesding
1926 to tie the 525 made by the Philadel-
phians in their first inning. Heavy hitting
Lyons and patient Bannerman were sent
In to defend the visitors wickets- After
40 had been scored Lyons was cleverly
caught by Wicket Keeper Rslston aud sent
to the club house, George Giffen joining
Bannermau. The newcomer had scored
but one run when he lifted high one to
the ropes which Bohlsn caught. Treat was
the next man in and the partnership was
prolific of runs, 1875 being scored before
Trott retired on high one to Scott. Bruce
and Graham, both dangerous bstemen,
/ were fortunately disposed of in short or
| der. and then Gregor made q good stand
| with Bannerman, the score being 201 when
the former was sent off the field, he having
| made 80 runs.
Meanwhile Bannerman had moro than
opcs called forth the admiring plaudits Of
the 4, 900 people present by his careful
painstaking work at the bat. Tumble
was clean bowled by King before he had ar
opportunity to score and with Giffen whs
followed had only made two runs wher
Ralston captured high one from his bat
Left handed Cunningham, the ninth man
gave the best exhibition Of biting seer
during the day, but with his score at 80
sky-scraper from his bat went into Coates
hands.
Captain Blackman, the last of the bats
men, who made such fine stand In tn
first inning, was unfortunate enough to b
run out on hit that looked good enough
for q single, after he had compiled but 81.
runs. All out for 1858. As the visitors ha'
tmsde but 1879 in their first inning, nettin
them total of 457 for two Innings, the
lost to Philadelphia by an inning and
runs, the latter having made 525
Bannerman, the first man in, carried hi
bat for finely played 70 top score for hi
time. His exhibition of skill will long
remembered here. The crowd almost fol
got Philadelphia's great victory in thei
desire to do honor to the Australian bats
man. Ne finer exhibition of fielding ha
| ever been given in this city than that {
} the home players. Not a damaging mii
play was made in the whole game.
