Santa Monica in particular and ev-
erywhere in general is worked up over
the cricket game to be held on the polo
field of the beach city this afternoon,
in which the women enthusiasts will
pit their skill against that of the reg
ular mems team. The handicap of hav-
ing to do all their work left-handed,
imposed on the men is taken to indi-
cate that the game will be unusually
close, for the fair ones have proved
themselves unusually adept at the
great English game and are confident
of turning in a good account of their
skill.
Those in charge OF the affair have
made arrangements TO make It one of
the gala events of the season, from
both a sporting and social viewpoint.
The Santa Monica polo grounds have
been fitted up to accommodate hun
dreds of spectators and many side fea-
lures have been planned for the enter
tainment of the visitors. The Santa
Monica Municipal band will be in at
tendance and tea will be served at
o'clock. In every detail the English
idea of a cricket match will be carried
out and many of those who left the
tight little isle many years ago will
be carried back to their homes for the
afternoon.
c. 2. Hurditch, captain of the regu-
lar Santa Monica cricket team, has
lent his best efforts toward making the
affair a success and has been remark
ably fortunate in his reward. The
fair bowlers and batters have shown
unusual proficiency in. their practice
Jr TIuVdftRhiG nnuah-
ing have amply demonstrated their
ability. The Santa Monica city Off
Gals have given much toward the pro-
motion of the match and Mayor Dud-
ley will be on hand to do the honors
for his municipality.
That unusual interest in the game is
being taken everywhere was demon
strated yesterday when a cablegram
was received from the publisher of the
Illustrated London News asking for
pictures and results of the match by
the first mail Some of the particle
pants in the affair will make special
trips from Corona and Fresno TO be on
hand when the game is called, and Rev.
w. Brown, a prominent pastor of Santa
Monica, has consented to act as one OF
the umpires.
