overbalsncing the field
No particular reason was developed at
the first meeting Of the year last week as to
why this should not prove to I've the case
again this year. Merton meets old York

cheerful tune Of all the matches to none
Old York Roads team made the rest of
the league sit up when II came so near
taking over the Philadelphia Cricket Club
champions in 1915. in its first match of the
blg league, where IT was not figured to have
a look-in. particularly without its captain
Mrs j. s, Ely.
But as to this there are a few things to
bear in mind Tho first is that the matches
were played over the home course Of Old
York Road. The Jenkintown players natu-
rally know their own course like a book.
1t does not impress one as n links where the
poor shot is at a tremendous disadvantage,
for IT is more inclined toward the ld-fash-
ioned simple bunkers than the Stupendous
trapping which is the essence of the big
courses OF the city.
Another reason for the close conflict last
week was the fact that the cricket Clubs
lineup was not The strongest it might put in
the field later on several of the veterans
being missing.
But to even this up it must he remem-
| bered that there were four players in the
baby teams lineup who had never played
in club match before. and that the whole
team had to move up a notch because of
Mrs. Ely's inability to play, due to an
operation only month ago.
The Jenkntonians will prove a real sur
prise IL they are able to repeat last week y
good work today at Merton against the
champions of the league where Philmont
