~ THE SECOND INNINGS
Philadelphia Sept II (SpeciaD An unexpected
conclusion reached In the cricket game be-
tween r. r. Warmers team and the Gentlemen OF
Philadelphia here to-day The match was sched-
ued for three days. but the low scoring did not
occupy the time expected. and the game ended
after two days play in a victory for the English
men by eight wickets.
The play of the Phadephians was most disap-
pointing to-day. Some five thousand spectators
viewed the match. ard after the home team had
secured lead Of ten runs on the first innings a
close contest was confidently looked for. The
Philadelphans batting. however was weak, and
the men from whom most was expected failed com
petely The wicket played much better than on
the opening day. and this could hardly be advanced
as an excuse, but the fact that J. l.. Ainsworth,
the Engshmen's lefthand bowler had the whole
team badly tied up cannot be denied.
The batsmen appeared to have no heart in their
work they played almost altogether on the de-
fenslve. and of the players who in local
games always make big hits were content to-day
to just allow the ball TO hit the bat.
Ainsworth BOWED in splendid style. and his
analysis Of FIVE wickets for 10 runs represents
some splendid work with the ball. Altogether
he sent down twenty-three overs, and OF these
no less than fifteen were maidens. b. j. /.
Bosanquet also bowled splendidly while V T. Hin
secured TWO wickets for Il runs. ~
The visitors ala not nave an opportunity OF dolng
