BEDFORD ELEVEN I
DEFEAT LOCALS

letin, the Bedford cricket eleven
proved too strong altogether for the
Honolulu bunch and had no trouble
In defeating them.
When this paper went to pres'
yesterday afternoon the score stood
at four wickets down for $50 runs
Pelly was then 80 and looked as !,
he were certain Of making a CEN
fury. However, when within four
of the coveted hundred runs he hit
one Of Morses deliveries up and was
caught by Anderson.
Lieutenant Dixie, who was Pelly's
partner for some time, hit up %
and then Maclean put the hoodoo
sign on the ball and cleaned bowled
the sailor. King. who followed
Dixie, only added 1 to the total be-
fore being caught by Anderson on
one OF Morse's fast ones.
Wilson then went up to bat. but
did not last long; he had made two
when he was caught by Jordan on
Maclean. knight hit up IL in TAX
hing fashion, and carried his bat out.
Douglass was clean bowled by Morse
after he had made and was look
ing good for lot more. The last
man In, Field, broke his duck egg and
then was caugh by Maclean OF Jor-
dan.
The extras amounted to IL runs,
there being 10 byes and 2 leg byes.
Every over Of the Honolulu bowlers
produced runs-not one maiden was
sent down.
Maclean took 2 wickets at the
small cost OF 10 runs. Morse was
the cause OF four men retiring. and
his average was IS. The fast bowl
err did good work with the ball, and
he and Hatfield bore the brunt OF
the battle oil the afternoon.
Hatfield bowled well and his three
wickets cost So runs; with a little
more practice he would do as well
as he used to years ago, when he was
the star bowler of the local team.
The veteran r. A. Jordan went on
to bowl at the end Of the innings,
and, a. usual. was successful. He
captured FIELDS wicket, getting him
caught by Maclean. The G. o. NJ.
only bowled ten balls, on which
three runs were made and a wicket
fell.
The Bedford total of 224 runs ID
small when II 10 remembered that
only four wickets had fallen for $50
runs; the remaining six batsmen
only totaled ~, and had Pelly been
caught as he should have been, when
he only scored 20 or so, the game
would not have been 80 one-sided.
For Honolulu Bob Anderson was,
Of course. the mainstay. and his
contribution OF 46 looks very big In
total score Of SO. The previous
score against the Bedford was SO. &C
It Is pretty well proved what the
strength Of the local men is when up
against the Bedford bowling.
T. p. Gray was the only man be-
sides Anderson to make double fig-
ures, and he hit up a round dozen,
Included In the total OF 80 were 0
byes. and the tail end Of the team
did nothing to speak Of.
For the Bedford, Knight did re-
markable work; he sent down 80
balls, CT which only 4 runs were
scored; four OF the overs were maid
lens and he captured, 3 wickets Al
AN average OF Ia. Such work has
not been seen anywhere for a Ions
time, and he IL to be congratulated
on his record.
Dixie took wickets for IS runs,
and showed that he has a great
command over the ball. Milton also
captured trio OF batsmen and the
cost was only 20 runs.
The game was an enjoyable one
but the fact was apparent that the
navy men were too strong altogether
for the locals. Pelly Is a fine bal
and has made many centuries on the
cricket fields Of England. and hal
made some remarkable scores ovel
on the China station. His battinl
yesterday was clean and crisp, and
although he gave couple OF chanc
es. he delighted the spectators b!
the way In which he opened hi
shoulders and swatted the bal
around the field.
Lunch was served at 1880 o'cloci
aud a splendid cold collation. was pu
before the cricketers. Mrs. MacleaI
was a host in herself and Doc Mon
serrat helped out famously.
