Iteail IniTO had man.v double centuiy totals, in their long a.ssoeiation witli the league, hut they have never before reached 250, their highest being 237 versus Lancaster in 1925. They have had their big vlcUiries, loo, and one of the most notable was th a t over Wlialley in I9UI, when Bead sored 150 ami Whalley made only 28. Everyboily at Beat!—and not a few elsewlieie— earnestly hope that Bead ma.v retain their lead and win tho cup.
