THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1897. The National game is now being well | patronized in this City, and doubtless it | will grow into considerable prominence provided that the players will continue to “‘put up good ball.” In wheeling circles the most interesting feature of sport on the cards is a water- melon run which will be held at Stockton to-morrow. | The patrons of the grand old sport of | coursing are looking forward to a great meeting which will be held at Merced in the near future, tiie entries for which will | positively close to-morrow. i Boxing club managers have concluded that the sports of this City will no longer patronize exhibitions between fifth-class | pugilists, and as a consequence first-class talent is in demand. In the following columns will be found the latest news from field and stream. et T THE VWHE;ELMEN. The Annual Watermelon Run at Stockton on Sunday. CLUB EVENTS TO-MORROW. Acme Club Wheelmen—To Stockton. Alpha (Ladies) Cycling Club —To | Marin County. Bay City Wheelmen—To Trocadero. California Cycling Club — To Marin County | Capital City Wheelmen—To Stockton Golden Gate Cycling Club—To Stock- ton. Imperial Cycling Club—To Stoekton. Olympic Club Wheelmen—To Stock- Sun Franeisco Road Club—To Stockton. | Terminal City Wheelmen — Watsr- mel!on run, Stock ton. The Terminal City Wheelmen of Stock- ton hold annually what they term a watermelon run,” but which is in reality a big picnic, and the affair this year is | scheduled for to-morrow. Invitations were sent broadcast to the organized wheelmen of the State over a month ago, and have been accepted in large numbers, so that Stockton will probably shelter as large a gathering of cyclers to-night and to-morrow as it has ever had the pleasure of entertaining. The visitors from this City will leave on the steamer Captain Weber from Clay- street wharf at 7p. M., her hour of de- parture having been delayed one hour to accommodate many who could not get away at 6 o’clock. They will arrive in Stockton early to-morrow merning, and wili be met by the reception committee of | the club there. The picuic properis to take place at Eintracht Park about noon, | and prior to that hour there will be short | trips to near-bv points of interest. Of| course the ‘‘piece de resistance’’ of the lunch will be watermelons; and by the way, the committee of arrangements de- | sires it stated that there will be no water- | melon battle as there was last year, re- sulting in much spoiled raiment. In conjunction with the watermelon | run the California Associated Cyeling Clubs will hold its regular monthly meet- ing this eveming at Stockton, at tbe rooms of the Termina! City Wheelmen. The delegates and board of governors w leave on.the 4 P. M. train to-d riving about 8 o'clock. President expects a large number of deiegates pres- ent, as there 1s a great deal of important business to be transacted. The member- | ship committee will also improve the op- | portunity to increase the individual mem- bership of the association there. It has never been very strong in the Terminal City, principally because no one has had | time to go there end espouse the move- ment. The Acme Ciub Wheelmen, under Cap- tain Sheed, will attend the Stockion gaye- ties to-morrow. On Sunday, the 15th, there will be a five-mile handicap road race for members, over the San Leandro- Haywards course. The Goiden Gate Cycling Club will join the “Klondyke” rush to Stockton to- night. The Bay City Wheelmen will have a club run to-morrow to Trocadero under Captain Henry L. Day, ‘to partake of a bullshead breakfast. They will leave the clubnouse at 10:30 A. M., going via the park and Balboa bouievard. Members are requested to notify the captain of thelr intentions of poing some time to-day, that the chet may not kill too small a number of bulls. Incidentaily this should be a most enjovable ride and picnic. Paced by at least six tandem teams, Charles A. Kralt will try for all road records from five to twenty iiles over the San Leandro triangle next Sunday. His pacing arrangements are weil nigh per- fect. The tandem teams which will lure the sturdy Teuton on to the uncertain honors of a record-breaking ride will be made up of J. Smith ard Hardenbrook, Ferguson ana Vincent, Kelly and Tobin, Kanzee and Rayvnaud, Bacon and Peck, Griffiths and John Davidson. Lloyd Conkling will be master of ceremonies. Ziegler, Jones, Davis, Downing, Elford, McCrea, Whitmsan and Boyden will prob- ubly compose the partv of California pro- fessionals who will ride at the Portiand meets on August 14 and 15. Mott and Wing will represent the amateur class, having obtained the requisite permits from Mr, Weich of the racing board to race outsids their own State. There will be meets at Tacoma on the 21st and 22d, at Spokane on the 28th and 29:n and again at Portland on September 4 and 5. The California Cycling Club and the Alpha (ladies’) Cycling Club will have a joint run to the Villa di Como, in Marin County, to-morrow. They will take the 9 | o’clock Sausalito boat and train to Corte Madera. A bus will be at San Anselmo to convey those who do not ride wheels. C. M. Smith, who proposes to ride for a record paced by a locomotive, as told in Tue Cary Thursday, has another idea in conjunction with his attempt. Hhe thinks that veriscope pictures of the feat would be most interesting if they could be taken, | tions. Only thirty can be accommodated and is now negotiating with Edison with this in view. He has received a favorable reply, and the matler is now being ar-| ranged. It should be understood that the dan- | ger of this ride has to "be taken into con- sideration more than the question whether pionships of America, a perusal of the results in the telegraphic columns ot THE Carr will be interesting. Here’s a predic- tion that, barring accidents, Bald will come out on top. Recently when soliciting the member- ship of an unattached wheelman for the new association here [ used the customary argument that we keptall the money at home and that we did not send 65 per cent of it to Boston to help pay large salaries 1o the secretary and expenses of racing board and other oificials of the league as formerly. My prospective appiicant sur- prised me by saying: “Well, what's the difference whe.her yon pay salaries her’f or there; the money goes just the same, wkich gave me a_splenaid opportunity to correct his false impression, and I think it is worth repesting here. None of the officers or committeemen of the Califor- nia Associated Cycling Clubs roceive one cent of recom pense for their labors. Secratary Scovern will receive $300 a year wnen there is enough money to spare | to pay him, but he will be the onty paid official, and well he deserves that small | sum, considering the immense amount of work to be done. President Swain, Judge FRANK G. PECK OF YUEA CITY. or not it will be possible for him to do it. Cyclers and engineers alike are of the opinion that just so fast as the locomotive can go that will be Smith’s speed at the | trial, as the suction of air will draw him | along, in_addition to his own pedaling | efforts. But when moving along at the frightful rate of speed which Smith hopes to attain, if anything should happen to | his wheel it might be ‘4all oft’” with nim. He will therefre be likely to be excep- tionally caretul in the choice of his mount, and will make many practice spins at a low rate of speed to get accus- tomed to the thing. The ‘rials will be free for any-one to witne:s, and when he does go for the rec- ord there will doubtless be an immense gathering. When *“Mary”’ Anderson tried this feat at St. Louis about a year ago and rode the mile in 1:03, over 20,00 people witnessed the performar Anderson said sfterward that it was a ‘“‘sleighride’”’ for him, and contemplata- trying it again | this fall, to m:k: ithe time less thana | minute. Smith will trv to have nis at- tempt ¢me off first, but it takes consig- | erabie Lime to arrangs the preliminaries, | su that October 17 was the earliest date | that could be set. The distribution of the prizes won in the recent road race of the Calitornia Cy- | cling C.ub will take place a1 the membvers' | meeting to be held next Monday night. There will also be an entertainment and refreshments. Frank G. Peck of Yuba City is one of the amateur products of the present sea- son. His twoappearances at Sacramenio, where be rode on a par with Russ, Wing, Hirscn, Leitch and such cracks, mark him as a coming man. Arrangementsare now being made to pace him for all amateur track records- from one to ten miles. At present he is in training for the associated | clubs’ championship races to be held at Santa Rosa on September 9. He will ride under the colors of the Bay City Wheel- men and D. Lioyd Conkling is bis mentor, which of itself 1s an assurance to any new rider. - Captain J. 8. Lewis will take the mem- bers of the San Francisco Road Ciub to Stockton to-night to attena the water- melon run to-morrow. Sunday, August 15, they have a run planned lor San Quen- tin, special permission to visit the prison having been secured. The members of the imperial Cycling Club will attend the Stoekton watermelon run to-morrow under Captain Fiinn, Their steamer wili leave Clay-street wharf at7 o’clock sharp this evening. Berths can be secured by noti ying Lieutenant Wilson. On Sunday, August 15, the club | will have its second yachting cruise. Des- | tination, McNear’s landing. ~ A fine beach, pretty country, shrimp ranches and plenty | to eatand drink are among the attrac- on the yacht, so that members desiring to #o should notify the s cretary early. The club’s first high jinks, for members only, will be held at the rooms, 614 Van Ness avenue, Saturday evening, September 4. Yesterday and to-day the races in con- junction with the anunual meet of the ague of American Wheelmen are being heid at Philageiphia, and as some of the events include the shert distance cham- Kerrigan, Mr. Welch, Mr. Adams, Mr. Loug and all the other actlve workersin the association are remunerated in no way whatever, unless it be the thanks of their fellow-wheelmen. In fact, on the contrary, they are often out of pocket by reaxon of expense which the association is not asked 10 stand, anda which they have to put up out of their own pockets for the grod of the sport. ‘The association’s membership now out- numbers that of the league in this State, being over 800, while the league is down to 770. SPALDING. BASKET BALL. Old Basket-Ball League Success- fully Terminated—Spring Medals Presented. The final meeting of the ’97 Basket-ball League was held last Tuesday evening at the dining-hall of the Young Men’s Chri: tian Association buildiug of this City. Chairman Brock called the meeting to The Easket-Ball Championship Medal. order, and Treasurer Shaw gave the finan- cizl account of the league, which showed a surplus on hand. Silver medals were then presented to the following members of the San Francisco Business Men’s team, who won the championship of the coast: C. J. Anger (captain), Louis Titus, F. M. Goodrich, R. Herner, W. Wilson, F. J. Batzer, C. Bernhard and H. 8. War. The latter’s medal will be kept in safe- keeping in this City until the owner re- turns from Alaska, where he went on last Saturday on board the steamer Willa- mette. Eight bronze medals (of a similar design) were then presented to the mem- bers of the Athens team from Oakland, who won second place in the last tourna. ment. The organization of a new league for | to the reel. 1898 was then thoroughly discussed. The new tournament is to begin about Jan- uary 15, 1898, so that it will fall between the ragular football and baseball seasons and command better attention. The number of men on a team wiil be limited to five, and no more than two games are to be played by a team with every other team. The foilowing teams will probably join the new league: Athens, Cyciones and Business Men from Oakland; Mission M. C. A. of Ssn Francisco; Rushers, Business Men and Union teams of San Francisco. The new league will be or- ganiz-d at the next meeting, when the new officers will be elected and the schedule arranged. In the meantime a number of match games will be played by ail of the teams in order to be in good condition when the tournament shall open. ————— ROD AND CREEL. Anglers Who Are Returning From Thelr Vacations. Anglers are returning from their sum- mer vacations with reports of excellent fisking enjoyed at soms of the mountain resorts. Fish Commissioner Vogelsang, who had a very pleasant outing in the big meadow country, states that the rain- bows take a large fly of rough pattern, and when hooked they make a game struggle for freedom. A majority of the anglers who visit the meadows catch their trout by either whipping or trolling a spoon. Henry Skinner, a popular salesman of E. T. Allen & Co., is enjoying first-class wout-fishing on the Truckee near Boca. Mr. Skinner 1s a master of the rod, and there are few among the fraternity who can cast & fly as stylishly as Colonel Skin- ner and with such precision. It isno wonder, then, that his many friends in this City have been recipients of some nice boxes of Truckee River trout. Anglers must not lose sight ot the fact ! that thie best fishing on Truckee River is invariably to be had in September and Octover, when the water is low and the trout are greedy for something good. The sport at present is first class and good baskets can be relied upon by whipping the stream on the stretches between Boca and Floriston. The only place on the river where anglers receive first-Class accommoaations is Boca. g i Black bass fishing on Russian River still continues goed, but angiers must not overiook the fact that the best fishing is to be had near Guerneviile on the Dona- hue railroad. The following very clever ‘‘dont’s” for anglers recently appeared in an Eastern sporting paper and they will apply ad- mirably to local talent: Don’t yank, Don’t get snagged. Don’t troll too fast ! Dou’t forget the bait, Don’t try fancy casi Don’t step on your rod. Don’t try to cast too far. Don’t sif on your rod tips. Don’t buy “‘cheap” tackle. Don’t forget the back cast. Don't let your reel overrun. Don’t strike on a slack line. Don’t Lie; it's been overdone. Don’t fish with untried tackle, Don’t put your fish in the sun. Don’t neglect to try your lines. Don’t carry your rod tip foremost. Lon’t strike & fish with botn hands, i Dow’t try to cover too much ground. ! Don’t put pickerel in trout streams. Dou’t wear sirange sporting clothes. Don’t try toland your fish too soon. Don’t cast across your nelghbor's line. Don’t give slack line to a fighting fish. Don’t fill your basket with fingerlings. Don'’t fish next to a church on Sundays. Don’t let your shadow fall on the brook. Don’t keep too many Jines going at once. Don’t drop a fish iuto your creel tafl first. Don’t strike a black bass at the first rush. Don’t store your rods next to a steampi pe. Don’t keep your lunch where it will get wet, | Don’t carry hooks in your trousers pockets. Dou’t think that it is all fishing to catch fish. Don’t fail to clean fish which are to be kept. Don’t let your fish get around the anchor line. Don’t strike a fish whea the rod is perpen- dicular. Don’t leave oars sticking over the sides of the boat. Don't yell “I've got landed bim. Don't try to lift a big fish into the poat by the line, Don’t leave your rod tips in the bottom of the boat. Don’t anchor within casting distance of an- other beat. Don’t fail to make the end of your line fast one” until you've Don’t leave a baited hook where chickens can getat it. Don’t despise & faint nibble; it may be your biggest fish. Don’t pick out the best pools; give your friend a chance. Dou’t race alon; followingyou. Don’t use a cod line for brook trout,or a trout line for cod. Don’t desecrate the gentle art by fishing on a spawning-bed. Don’t give un eel slack line so that he can tie 1t full of knots. Don’t fish where the fish don't bite; move on 1o another spot. Don’t peep over the bank to see where fish are in the brook. Don’t—don’t—don'’ a ‘speckled beauty. { Dou't fail to commune with nature; that's half the fun of fishing. Don’t think that the best fishing tackle is made by saloon-keepers. Don’t forget to change the water frequently in the minnow-bucket. Dow’t boast that you can wind your brand- new rod around a barrel. Don’t put bait in your pocket where it is liable to get into your pipe. Don’t hang deaa fish over the side of the boat—water will spoil them. Don’t let your boatman stop rowing if you strike a fish when trolling. Don’t let a fish leap into the air and then fall back on a tautened line. Don’t use a Lwo-pound sinker for brook fish- ing—haif a pound will do. Don’t forget when you cast that your com- panions have feelings and ears. Don’t think that a four-ounce rod will work better in both hands at once. Don’t buy live bait too far ahead; it's liable to die and demand interment. Don’t lie about the size of fish; dead fish don’t grow. —_—— GUN AND GAME. How Game and Fish Will Be Pro- tected in the Vic!nity of Point Arena. It was stated in last Saturday’s sporting edition that the Board of Supervisors of | Marin County bad shortened by ordinance one month of the deershooting season, but instead of its terminating on the 15¢h of this month, it should have read Sep- tember 15. The State law gives sports- men the right to kill the male deer be- tween July 15 ana October 15, a period of three months. This is altogetizer too long a season, and as market hunters have not as ye t been exterminated, =o to speak, the Superyisors of some of the counties in this State have acted wisely in cutting off ‘a month or so from the general law. Owing to the great number of hunters | who camp out during the summer months, ‘deer-shooting is, of course, the principal ieature of sport enjoyed, and the destruction of large game isin conse- quence annually increasing because of the many people who enlist in the pastime of shooting and hshing. Two months of deer-shooting in the vear is verv reasonable, an it:is to be hoped that the Supervisors of the counties in which large game abound will see the necessity of having a limted season be- fore the game is exterminated by pot- hunters and alleged sportsmen, who g the bank when a friend is "tever call a brook trout | pains to make it one of the successes of rived at the conclusion that unless some- thing out of the ordinary course of affairs is accomplished to check the rapid destruc- tion of game and fish in their imme- diate vicinity it will not be many years hence when they will be compelled to put away their fishing rods and shooting irc- plements, as deer, quail and_trout will be 20 longer within the possibility of cap- ture. Mendocino County has been noted for years as the banner county of this State— that is so far as its;game and fish are con- | cerned. Deer and quail have been asto ishingly plentiful until of recent yea when the market hunters, who were driv- en from other counties which suffered ow- ing to the inroads made by them upon the game, settled in Mendocino County and commenced the work of extermination. Point Arena is a most favorable point for the sportsmen and the angler, and as game and fish are still in evidence within afew hours’ journey from the seaport town, all that is now required to uphold the pood name of this sportman’s ren- dezvous is a rigid enforcement of the game and fish laws, With this object in view a sportsman’s club was organized recently at Point Arena and according to latest intelligence the mewmbers of the club are determined to teach those who will persist in trans- gressing the jaws a lesson or lessons that will not soon be forgotten. 1t is to be hoped that the Judge or Jus- tice who may be calied upon to pass iudg- ment on the offenders will not deal leni- ently with the law-breakers, but, on the contrary, puuish them in a manner that will cause others to put on their thinking- caps before they shoot game out of season. The officers of the Point Arena Rod and Gun Club are: President, Dr. F. E. Gallison; vice-president, C. F. Griffith; treasurer, J. C. Ha liday; secretary. George Pursell. Members—L. G. Morse, Lew Morse, E. F. Willford, R. Willits, W. C. Davidson, Captain Donald Ross, George Murry, W. R. Berry, L. Arcbibald,J. Morse, Rev. Mr. Hicks, 8. Iverson, J. Downs, E. Zimmerman, N. F. Phelps, C. william Howe, J. Nolan, F. Wilson, Robert Hehry Tauk, James Wilson, Willism Mc- Causland, George Phelan. In the old-timers’ skiff race William Grancey (Old Bili) and Leander Stevenson (Uncle Steve) will try conciusions. This race usually affords the anrusement of the day. Grancey has been in constant com- munication with his old friend William Muldoon, the great trainer, and has protited by bis words of advice to get Lim- self into condition; while Steveu;lon has just returned from a two weeks’ stay at ihe springs, where he boiled out some of the excessive adipose and rid himself of the various rheamatic kinks with which he was blessed. - Another feature of the day will an open swimming race of 100 yards, the entries to close on the day of the race. The present entries are William Howe, Archie Taylor and Frank Bulger. Other skiff races to be contested are: Johnson Herdy-Herman Pless, H. Wistkoff-James Wilson. A The Ariel launcn, Captain Eugene Flan- ders, will be judges’ boat. The regatia committee is D. J. Shee- ban, J. I Nolan and G. W. Phelan. The following have been chosen to act as officers of the day: Referee, Edward Scully, South End Rowing Club; starter, Enrignt, Ariel Rowing Club; timers. Joseph Nyland and Walter Blake, Ariel Rowing Club; judges—Jonn T. Sul- livan (Pioneers), H. Rothkopf (Dolphins), S. A. Pembroke (Alamedas), Eugene Flanders (Ariels); president of the day, J. R. Bokman. The races are scheduled for 10:30 sharp. The next championship regatta will be held at El Campo on Sunaay, Septem- ber 19. e COURSING. The Entry for This Year’s Merced Stake the Biggest Ever Known. Secretary 1. F. Halton of the Interstate Coursing Club closed his list for the com- ing fall meet at Merced last Sunday night. With the last mails from the more remote eastern points yet to arrive the nomina- tions aggregate eighty-one, and from pre- vious aavices it is known that the mails due te-day will bring up this number to at least eighty-four, and it may go higher. The make-up will be made public Mon- day. As on last Sunday to-morrow's stake stake is without limitations as to aze or previous winnings, and the card shows an aggregation of talent in every way equal Ainslie and H. Chalfant. to that of last week. Both of W. C. Pey- Head of a Forked-Horn, Scaling the Garcia River and Sent This City. . 111 Po;t_nds Dressed, Killed Near to Captain Donald Ross of Captain D. Ross received a magnificeat specimen of the deer family a few days ago from Point Arena. It was a forked horn, that scaled 111 pounds when dressed, and was killed by Charles Filbert, near the Garcia River. A picture of the head sketched by Mr. Partington of THE CALL'S staif appears in this department. George Crocker, accompanied bv a small party of friends, will take a trip down the San Joaquin Valley this afternocn in Mr. Crocker’s private car, and have a try at the doves in the vicinity of Minturn. As they are all excellent shots a great slaugh- ter is predicted. i THE OARSMEN. The Arlels Will Hoid a Club Regatta at Long Bridge To-Morrow. Everything is in readiness for the inter- club regatta to be held by the Ariel Row- ing Club to-morrow. The committee hav- ing the affair in charge have spared no | the season. The races will be rowed over the old Long Briage course, foot of Fourth street, a course which has proven one of the best on the coast. A full view of each race from start to finish is afforded the specta- tors, the long stretch of wharf having been cleared of all obstructions through the ef- forts of the committee. Probably one of the greatest features of the day will be the special oulrigger skiff race. This race is the outcome of the discussion which followed immdiately | after the racesat the last El Campo regat a. It will be remembered that Aleck Pape, the crack sculler of the Dolphins, on that day carried off the honors of the junior skiff race, beating such men as Ayres of the Alamedas, Ochs of the Pioneers and Andy Carroll of the Ariels. Tue result has always been open to question as to the real merits of the men, and each club has since c.aimed supremacy for its represent- ative. The Pioneers still pin their faith on Coney Ochs. The result of the tryout held by the Alamedas developed a new aspirant for championship honors in young Stamer, and a large contingent of the boys from across tie bay is expected to be over to back their man. The Ariels decided to enter Frank Bal- ger, the winner of the skiff race on July 4 regatta. Bulger has proven as great a surprise in aquatics as Paul. From a mere novice six months ago, hs has de- veloped intc one of the fastesy scullers on the coast. Kor the past two weeks Pape has had the advaniage of training at Long Bridge, where the water can be more denended upon than at North Beach. For some months he has received the coaching of Champion MeCausland, and that awkward, jerky, though power- ful stroke which he used to affect has al- | most entirely disappeared, and he is now rowing with a long, easy sweep, which he finds far more effective. . No excuse can be offered from any of the contestants for lack of training, for they are all'in the best possible condition. | The prize to be awarded to the twinner | will be a fine gold watch, specially offered by the club. 3 The following crews are entered for the club’s junior barge race: Al Racouillat, Fred Knight, Albert Carroll, shoot, kill and wouna deer just for th pleasure of seeing them tumble over. It is a plessure that TuE CALL can state on most excellent authority that the sportsmen of Point Arena have at last ar- D. J. sheehan. James 0'Connell, Archie Taylor, G. T. Ginness, N. J. Prendegast, Me | meda. ton’s stake-winners, Royal Buck and Fly- ing Buck, are running. The lately arrived Eastern stock is represented, and one or two fliersare to be noticed of the dark- horse order. The betting will conse- quently rival the heat of a summer after- noon in St. Louis. The dogs to find most favor in the eyes of Prognosticator Mc- Quinn are! Leonora, Fireman, Tipperary Lase, Nellie Conroy, Magnet, Flashlight, Queen B. Roval Buck, Mohawk, Sam, Fly- ing Buck, Eclipse, Emin Pasha, Mercy May, Moondyne and Skyball. J. Schwab has sold_his recent Eastern purchase, Parnell, to W. Kay. The price peid is said to have been an eyven hundred. Williem McCaffrey, who brought out the Robertson kennel from St. Louis, has not heen long on the coast, but ne is rapidly making a name for himself as a trainer. In his hands last Sundav both the Eastern dog, Leonora, and Eclipse made a showing that surprised even their backers. e B CRICKET CHIRPS. Games To-Day and To-Morrow. Echoes From ths North, T. J. A. Tiedemann of the Pacifics has returned from a long stay on the sound. He says the public interest in cricket there is intense, and that the talent is very strong. At Portland much heas been done for the game by the fixing up of the new Riverside ground, which Tiedemann describes as a modern Eden. There is to be a match this afternoon at the recrcation ground, in Goldsn Gate Park, between a team selected from the British ships in _port and the California Zingari. The latter is made up as fol- lows: C. Banner, W. Bircnall, H. A, Duggan, P. D. Gellatly, E. Hood, Sir Carr Hilton, E. H. Hammond, J. Myers, J. C. Robertson, W. T. Robertson and ¥, Sew- all. Che game will commence at 2 o’clock. To-morrow the Alameda and Bohemi clubs will compete at Webster street, Ala- . I understand that H. H. Cookson will come up from his ranch to bowl for the Bohemians, which will make the game more interesting than was expected. The Philadeiphia team has finished their Enclist tour and will soon bs back home. Of the dozen matches playea, they won two, lost seven and three were drawn. The match against Gloucestershire re- sulted in an easy victory for the home team by an inning and 29.
