PETERS, YORK.—The first match of the season was played on May 31st in hot weather,, and on a dry and fast wicket. Goodall lost the toss and York batted first. Crawshaw and Piatt began the York innings to the bowling of Garbutt and MacDonald. With the score at 26, Piatt was bowled by a beautiful ball from Garbutt. Tendall then joined Crawshaw, and the batsmen booked like making a good score. Both hit hard, if somewhat luckily, until Forrest, going on to bowl instead of MacDonald, clean bowled Crawshaw with his first ball. Butterfield did not stay long, and soon afterwards Tendall was run out by a brilliant bit of fielding by Jackson at cover. No one else offered much resistance except Prior, who played a plucky innings, though he had sume luck, several hits dropping just out of reach of fielders, and the innings closed for 172. The Durham fielding reached a very high standard no serious mistake being made. Of the bowlers Garbutt, though he sent down some loose balls, on the whole bowled very well, and Forrest kept a good length and was never easy to score from. Ward and Williamson opened the Durham innings. At first runs came slowlyr but Ward w&s just settling down when he was dismissed by a somewhat dubious catch low down in the slips. Ferens unfortunately hit his wickets playing back to Davis. Ilderton, missed at the wicket before he scored, hit up 27 before being bowled off his pads. Soon afterwards Williamson was bowled. His steady batting was invaluable in wearing out the bowling. After this Garbutt, Goodall and Jackson hit the bowling all over the field, the York total soon being passed. Goodall hit brilliantly, as did Jackson, who however was favoured with a certain amount of luck. Stumps were drawn with the Durham score 270 271 at 208 for 7. The York fielding was good until towards the latter at point by Goodall. E. M.
