VII. I,cocnito Club cricket team from
le,d lhe cot away to good start IN
hnsatch hnsah against the New. York Halifax
Us r'a nIercn on the Merton crease at
nuporford nup this morning. The English-
r,sn made stand of 142 runs with only
two vickets down. H..
1, was bowled out with only three runs
bs Miller. T. r. Jardine did some sen
vvs,onal batting and had htty eight'
not out r. G. Lee. who Jolnea MOI Morn
rison later, ran his not out total 20 -,
Several boundaries were lnciuded III
these figures. ,..,
PW n Burrows scored only fourteen
.,ns before being caught out by Hales.
The New York club has been beaten
.,ir four times in the last three years,
.nd from the brand of game they have
s.or ebowino since their arrival in these
srto the Incopniti don't look as though
,hor had ever been beaten.
Tho New York Cup team hasn't
.,,ob bettcr record than Man-O war
~ a,' Jacoues Dempsey. having won the
y,i;fax Gun for the last two years and
erishing second this season. Their line
nm Is full Of veteran players who can
show more batting and bowling than
tbe Incogniti have had the opportunity
n looking over since they arrived mere
Tor their sporting visit.
Beresford Confident
owe will give the Incogniti an awful
sun for their money!" said the Hon.
n. Beresford, vice captain Of the
Now Yorkers-only, being loyal ad-
h.rent Of his Britannia Majesty, he
didn't use all those American words.
But that's what he meant to say, all
the same
~ think we have a decided edge on
,he Londoners on the bowling end and
ue have as heavy batters If not quite
80 many Of them. Our side is made up
of veterans who know the game both
ways from the wicket, and if we don't
win the other eleven will at least have
Ia, admit it's had good workout"
Again the vice captain may be
,lightly misQuoted, but such are his
ideas translated into the original
American.
More than half of the New Yorkers
have played the game in England or the
colonies. which statement has mean
ing all its own in the cricket world.
The Hon. 8. r. Beresford is an ex-
Mddlesex county player and we'll
known cricket authority over in Eng
toria team of Australia, is a crack left
handed slow bowler and q fine bat. J.
Poyer. who learned the game in the
West Indies, is n steady bat and very
good, fast bowler.
Hull Good Batter
Z. G.. Hull is a good batter who has
run up his centuries in this city on
previous occasions. -. Taylor.
former Haverford College star. is an
extremely good fast bowler and good
fielder. s. Southern is a neat right
hand bowler who should give the Lon
don batters some bad moments. Among
The other members of the New York
cast are r. and l.. Camacho and +.
G. Hales. good cricketers all.
All the cricket experts and near
authorities admit that Captain Met
calfes lncogniti players are the hard
est batters that have been seen in this
plenty of advance doping as to what
they will do against high-cl opposi-
tion bowling. That they are not quite
as strong in bowlers lends the popular
atmosphere of uncertainty to the out
come to the match.
The lncogniti players will be in
ritg side box at the boxing show which
opens the Ice Palace as fight coliseum
tonight. They are ardent boxing en-
thusiasts and are anxious to see Harry
Wills, who took the number of the
well known in England Fred Fulton.
By the time the Englishmen have seen
baseball game and one of our fights
they will know pretty much about
American sporting life, as is.
The summary follows:
