CRICKET MATCH OFF.
All-Comers Will Not Play Banks and
 Insurance Men at Alameda
To-Day

The third match of the season, which was to have been played on the Webster street ground at Alameda to-day be- tween banks and insurance men and all- corners, will not take place. R. B. Hogue, captain of the all-comers' team, has been seriously indisposed dur ing the week and is still too weak to be able to play cricket. J. H. Harbour, J. Mclean, A. Price and T. w. G. Wallace being also not desirous of playing, the match has been called off.
 It is possible that the game may be played next Sunday, which is an open date on the schedule of the California Cricket Association, but the interest in the sport seems to have waned so much that this is hardly likely. The visit of the Citrus Colony team from Placer County will revive the cricketerS' enthusiasm for a few days, as the Placer County men are strong players and the representatives of the clubs round San Francisco will be anxious not be defeated on their own ground If, as seems likely, the San Jose cricketers come up to this city to play their match against Placer County, a good town versus county match could be arranged. With the departure of the Citrus Colony men for their own homes cricket for the season of 1898 will be en- tirely over, and nothing more will be heard of the game until April. 1899.
