The Victorias of Hoboken will play the
Morris Heights eleven at Central Park this
afternoon.
The second meeting of the Manhattan and
Staten Island Cricket Clubs IN the cham
p1onship series of the Metropolitan League
takes place to-day at Livingston, and the
result of the game will decide the Manhat-
tan's chances for the pennant. Should they
win, they WILL land a very. good chance
against the New Jersey Athletic Club, but if
they lose they can hardly be expected to
overtake the big lead of the New Jersey
men. Other games to-day will be between
the Brooklyn and Morris Heights at Pros
pect- Park; Harlem against Kings County,
st. George and New York against st.
Georges Athletic Club, at Central Park.
Games will also be played by the New York
and New Jersey second eleyens at Central
Park, and the Manhattan second and Co
lumbia, at Prospect Park.
The game which was arranged between
English and Irish teams, although not
played, has stimulated other nationalities to
similar efforts, and now A. A. Adams Of
the Brooklyns proposes getting up an Amer
lean eleven to show its superiority over the
foreigners. He can call npon j. L. Pool, e.
H Pool, I. s.. Jevons, H. MacNutt and M.
Graham of Staten Island. II. B. Coyne of
Manhattan, j. Smithson and j. Cuddihy of
Victoria. F. S. Greene, q. A. Tuttla and Z.
G. Greene of Brooklyn, and several other
good players.
The list of centuries compiled in the
United States this season is ever increasing,
and last week witnessed the highest indi-
vidual score of the year. This was made by
I. r. Reaney of Philadelphia, who con-
tributed 1863, not ont, for Belmont, against
EddystoEe. F. w. Stratford's 1873 for the
St. Georges Athletic Club against Staten
Island is the best for New York, but Nj. r.
Cobb, H.. c.. Wright, c.. Byers. and j. Il.
Lalnbkin have all succeeded in reaching the
coveted three figures.
The date for the international match be-
tween the United States and Canada has
at Philadelphia. This is very late for the
fixture, and it will not draw so we'll from
the fact that Lord Hawkes. team will play
i'll Philadelphia the same week.
