READ’S FIRST WIN AT CLITHEROE.


Xo wonder the men from Read were


elated on Saturday evening. In the after- jnoii they had triumphed on the Chatbum Road ground for the first time. I do not tliis statement as an absolutely un-


challengable fact, -but as none of the old iubiiues of the ground can remember a Read victory at Olitheroe it may be accept­


ed as correct. Clitheroe’s want of confidence in them­


selves was agaiji apparent. The side is jxstively in the dithers. What is wanted is Dixon or Crabtriee to come along with


a dasliini' century, in* which* it is shown tliat tee are bowlers in the Ribblesdale League irho can be hit, and *tihen some of tire vounger ones may copy the example. ’ In the meantime Clitheroe will probable pon from defeat to defeat. . If eventually tiut century is not forthcoming tlieii this iim


e defeat will lose its bitteness and con-


sxjaently its terrors, and when these have jased away a change for the better is


'rind to follow. Olitheroe is at present like a peacock in


s moult. IMost of last season’s feathers iive been Shed. iLooking doWn* the list


il those who figured in* the team against Read one finds four only of last years eleven. True Dixon was absent on Satur­ day but as H. Hargreaves on account of Ms injured ankle may not be seen again. •hLseason “ A. E.’s ” return* leaves the nunv Nra jtist the same. This statement is really the best excuse


Clifheroe can offer. Their bowding against Read was made


to look ipoof stuff. . Wihem*half the Readites were out for 24 the visitors were in a sorn- plight. Indeed, defeat seemed to !e inevitable, but there was just this cause for misgiving—Read’s position was due rather to bad batting than to deadly trund­ ling.. 'Die bowling still lacked sring. Richardson .and Law showed up thh


poverty of Clith'eToe’s attack. The former hit F. Hargreaves out of the field for six. It was probably the biggest leg stroke ever seen on the ground, Richardson, who was hatting at *the bowling green end, pulling the ball round right over the pavilion xvell into the *next .-field. Hargreaves really invited this punddi-


ment. Th.e first ball he sent down was a “ full tosser on. the leg side. Richardson missed it. The second delivery was exact- h' similar *a-nd it was this which was hit lor six. The viisitors’ tail wagged with some vigour


aswiill be seen when it is pointed out that the last four wickets carried tire total iiom4t to 159— 118 runs. Crabtree had the best bowtling figures-y-


iwolor 14, but he was rathhr fortunate in Ilh, Coultburst and Hartley were both ratter badly punished, the pro having 5 for 70 .ind Hartley 3 for 49. Having read' Clitheroe a lesson in batting


Reul proceeded to read th'em one in bowi­ ng too. There were only three double figure batsmen a*nd these made go out of 73. -Ys there was one extra it remains to


^l)e said that eight Olitheroe batsmem on a tin-getting wicket made 22 and 14 of these Wre’ scored by the last f>air. Ocldie shaped very 'well on .his return to


tile first team and he avas very unforturr ite. being given out caught behind thle


"'icket from a Ixill which struck him in the chest. Harold Hartley failed to get .off the


nurk, but Coulthurst played steadily for a *0 time. He appeared to be the only htely stayer, for Crabtree after hitting *>im


pson, to the tdnnis court was caught in


*bing to repeat tb.e performance next ball. Jbe pro. was out to the same stroke


Sch has led to his undoing several times Wore this season. If hO/Would conquer this he would be very difficult to dislodge, Herbert Hargreaves was out fir^ ball, he was obviously. unfit to do himself

B.ARROAV AG.AIN TOO GOOD AA'ANDERERS.


FOR .After am indifferen*t start, Barrow’ are


now beginlndng to -make their presence in the ilcague felt, as ino doubt Rlbblesdale A


A’anderers can testify. The teams have met twice this season


and the net result is a gain, of four points for the villagers. The 'latter are a team of triers and have a knack of “ rising to the occasion ' when least expected. The AAMndorers made the journey iri the


hope of avenging the defeat they sustained ■ at the hands of the Barroviams on AA'hit-


■ Tuesdav, but flile latter again came out on top, to'the delight of their own supporters and to the chagrin* of the follow-ers of the Church Meadowites. Considerable interest w-as taken in* the


encounter but *tlhe weather militated against fhe attendance, there being only a moder- ' a.te number of spectators when Higson and Sherlicker commenced the AV'a*nd'eTers’ innings. The Clilhoroe men* m.ade a disastrous


start, their pro being caught by Bamford off Hollinrake before a run had been regis­ tered. Langsliaw partmeired Sherlicken blit through a misunderstanding the former was run out with the score at five. Tliis was indeed bad for the visitors, but


worse w-as to follow, Robinson, who was expected to improve m.-itters, being sent 'back without any addition to the total, a catch behind *


1 life wickets being the cause of


his dowhfall. Sherlicker, who proved to be the highest


scorer on* his side with 12 to Ibis cerdit, was the next to go, Ihiis retirement also being brought about by Everton*. Mitchell and Daw’son carried 'the score to 31 for thje fifth wicket, the latter then .being run out. Win- dle was also sent back at the same total. Mitchell was disposed of when* he had


made 10. Brooks and Hansom afterwards ■ endeavoured to stop the rot but at 45 Hol- liulrake tempted the former to hit out at a ball wiiich kept low’ and he w’as bawled. The la.st *tw-o wickets fell at 55, the cap-


la'iiv carrying out his bat for 10. The wickets were shared by HoIIinirake *and Goodman, th'e pro having four for 20 nms and the latter four for 34. In knocking off the iruns the villagers


occupied'ovor two hours. Duri.ng the time they w’ere at the crease Standen. and J. Goodman inifused life into the game but their st.ay w’as ornly brief, their scores being 10 .and 12 respectively. Bibby, a new recruit, .w’as not allowed to


get go'ing, Higson' proving too good for him after he *had contributed six to the ■ total. Hollinrake failed to scone but H. Goodman batted throughout the innings for 21. Bfe treated the bowling ■ with great respect and during the first 75 minutes he onily scored eight. 'The fifth wicket fell at th'e AAfanderers’


total, x’iz., 55, butthere was no further loss and stumlK were d'raxvn five rims later. Brooks was the most succes-sfiil boivler for the AAlandeirers wiiith three xvickets for 19 iruns.

-*♦ *♦ *♦ *- AViHALLEY DRAAV AT HARAA'OOD. AAlhalley and Great Hanvood, the two


leadimg teams in the Ribhlesdale League, met to try conclusions at Great Hanvood on Saturday and the match was regarded as the Derby ” of the season*. Both teams had unbeaten records and


ithe encounter had been eagerly antiicipated, especially by the Abbeyites who intended, if at all possible; to make their position at ■ the head of the League table practically impregnable. For the' greater part of the day it seemed


as if there would be no cricket story to relate as a rain charged wind threatened to sitoiil the sport. Then* at noon- Jupiter I’luvius seemi^ to be baiting between txvo opinions and the minds of the mortals Were


similarly affected. Despite the tlireatening weather there


was a good attendance to witness the strug­ gle, a large inumber of spectators hailing from AAlhalley. As events turned o-ut the game ended in a draw. The Abbeyites. Ihad tlie better of the argument, and had not Time i'ntervdnied they would iii all ]>robabilitv have obtai.ned the maximum number of points. AAllialle)’ xvon the toss and by doing, so


they gained a slight advantage, the bow’lers being unable to get anything on the ball. Peters ,a*nid J. Gireen were the first batsmen but after ten minutes’ play and w’ith the score at eight, rain, drove the players into


the tent. .After fifteen minutes’ delay play was re­


sumed anrl immediately afterwards Green stepped in fron*t of one of Hall’s deliveries and had to retire. Ramsbottom did not st.ay long, being caught by the pro. off AValmsley wihen he had gathered a single. Two avickets were down for 20 runs and


Boddv was caught out in the field after .scori.iig seven. A'lmonid pla.yecl one i.nto Howarth’s hands at square leg but the fielder failed tohold the ball. Tm the same over, however, the batsman was caught and bowled by AA^almsley fc.r a couple. Peters batted well and he put on an invaluable


24 befcfl-e being sent back. AA'ard and Hindile were soon disjiosed of,


but the' seventh wicket caused much ‘trouble to the howlers, putting on 40^ runs with Harrison and Lakeland in partner-


•tfhi]). The foniier was conteimt to keep his ■ end iij) wliiile I/,ike'land did the scoring and he batted o\-e*r half an* hour- for seven runs. For the ninth wicket the ex-AVanderers’ l-iro. and R. Green made an unexpected but


Inevertheless x\lelcome stand and they prob- a.b'lv saved their side from defeat. Certain it is that they ineveii'ted AAlhalley from bang put out for* only a moderate total. Both batsmen played with confidence


and thev are deserving of gre.nt cerdit for their plucky display. Lakahwid gave a capital exhibition and he was within eight of tilie half cemtury when he reccdxftd his ma.rching orders. “ Roger’s ’ (.-ontribution of 13 was also hi^hlly acceptable a*nd was nii’eiy obtained. ' In the end the .Abbeyites’ total reached


■ 119. I'or the home toam H.-ili took four wickets for 37 and AA'aIm.slev live for 42. 'nite homesters started 'confidently in


their reply. Slater contributed 18 before being dismissed and then-AA'almsley and Rydelteard carried -the total past 50 with­ out further lc(s.s. Tihe latter departed with 13 to his credit


aiid wickets aftenra.rds foil chieply, the batsmen being unableto resist the AATi'alley attack. In fact'lhe Harrodians were in grave danger of being -defeated. AAlalmslev, however, defied the efforts of


Ithe bowlers for a coiisiderahlc time .and did a great deal towalrds saving his side xvlth


his innings of 34. In the end Great Harwood had lost eig'ht


wickets for 92, and thus the gamia ended in a draw, both teams being still undefeated, ,a,n*d the retuni match ait AA'ihalley v n* July rath will be keertly looked forward to. AAlhallev fully deserx’ed the iioints aruj 1-he ihomo lot were fortunate to stax’o off

Sabden were the visitors at the Earby ground on Saturday’.


'ilhe home skipper


won the toss and tlie Tykes batted first, Binns and Shuttleworth opening the innings to tile attack of Morley and Nuttall. A fair start was made, 16 being tele­


graphed at tlie fall of the first wicket, Binns being the victim. Marsden succeeded but was dismissed four runs later a,nd at 23 Shuttleworth, who scored a -usefuil dozen, was well bowled by NuttaU. Smifli, however, made a capital stand


and by good cricket made the best score for tlie Tykes with 31. None of the other players re.aohed tlie


decade owing to the destructive boxvling of Nuttall, who bad the exceUeiiit record of 8 wickets for 19 runs. His deliveries proved very deceptive and the batsmen found him difficult to bat. Sabdem oiiened in brilliant fashion, with


Nixon and Redhe.ad facing Binns and Sbut- tfeworth. Thirty nmis were collected before a .separation was made, when Shut- !


tlcwcjith had Nixon caught. _ ; Mortev succeeded, and the winning hit j


was madb before the fa.ll of the second wicket. Redhead awd Morley played fine­ ly, and each scored 33 ruiu*s. .After the dismissal of these players a


rot ."*et in, and the remai-ninig eight batsmen munteired 22 amongst them, and title inuings closed for 104. 24 runs in excess of -the Karby total. The vctera.n Demai.n was the most s(uc-
