of the universe ) depended upon them not getting but. Both Har-: wool and his companion. Turner, proceeded at funereal: pace and wer; driving; the spectators to boredom. Fortunately Harwood was dismissed and then several more wickets fell after Gethin had sho)/n a bit more enterprise. It was left to^youhg players, Vepity and Eccles, to Infuse more life into the ! proceedings,; although they enjt yed a measure of luck. The bigg est slice was: when Dewhurst dropped Verity. This young man proceeded to lash out boldly' and with , his I partner indulged in some sho :t sharp singles. The result was, Darwen were able to reach 174 for fight and then declare. Clitheroe made a determined effort to get the runs and in addition to Dew- burst’s half century, five other players got'double figures. Arthur Sefton, home on leave from the R.A.F., took his usual place, behind the sticks and a}so hit up', 26 not out, sharing' a ifery useful stand wit 1 Dewhurst. Mention should be made that J. Swales)succeeded In capturing four wickets for 30 runs, after Darwen had dug them- seh es in.

ALMOST DEFEAT DARWEN. Only a mismderstandlng of the


rule relating to the finish of matches, prevented Clitheroe from defeating Darwen for the second time within a few weeks. ) It would


.have been a distinct feather In their cap if tiey had succeeded in doing so since no other team has defeated the Eastern leaders. What happened wak that' Darwen made 174 for eight and declared, while Clitheroe had reached ' 170 for eight, when the last over was started.' W, A. Dewhurst, had already made 53. and was batting with supreme confidence. )He made the mistake 3f thinking, i however, that any ball might be the last, not realising that in accordance w;lth league rules oace an over has begun it must be finished, unless a wicket tails. He sti'uck out wildly at the; first: ball of the over and was' fiowled. Had he'but known he had eight deliveries in which to get five runs he woul'l'have had very little difficulty in vdniilng the match for Clltherop.

RECORD STAND AGAINST WHALLEY.


wlPk to gain a substantial victory over Whaliey. Batsmen had matters mcstly their own way, and to answer to Barnoldswlck’s total of 23!' for one, Whaliey replied with 162, the last wicket falling to the smh ball of the last over. Barnoldswlck treated Whalley’s


record second wicket stand of unfinished, between R. Caswell J. Peckover, enabled Bariiolds-


attack with scant respect, rattling orJ the runs at a merry pace. R. Caswell batted a grand innings to score 119 not out and there was also some bright cricket from K ' J. Walker and J. Peckover. Walker arid Caswell made 78 for the first wicket partnership before Walker was - bowled by George Garratt. Amerwards Caswell and Peckover proceeded to punish Whalley’s attock severely and added 161 to th e , score, thus taking part to a record sepond wicket partnership. Caswell had then reached 119; while Peckover was 66. whaliey were helped, consider­


ably by two soldiers stationed in the area. P. Lythgoe and P. Kelly, who put oh 76 for the 9th wicket part­ nership and almost saved a point. G Garratt and F. Webb gave the side a good start by scoring 48 between thjem.rbut[.at this-total both bats­


men were j out and a collapse fol­ lowed. 'Whalley’s eighth wicket fell at 80J but,then Lythgoe and Kelly {treated the spectators to some lively I cricket and by adding 76 made|a new league'record so far as ca.n be ascertained. Lythgoe hit urt 63lin really entertaining fashion, but was theii beaten by Petty, who finished the day wth five for 36. In tl e sixth ball of the last over. Kelly IS clean bowled by Hall to end
