Their victoryljover Read, on Sat­


urday, assured Darwen of the lead­ ership of the Eastern section of the Rlblilesdale Lea,gue. In the Western section St. Annes maintained their lead, whereas heir!rivals dropped points., It now seems fairly certain that Darwen ar d St.i Annes will play off for the cup,}


pace with Di.rwen, Barnoldswick put the Wandf rets in to bat. But things did not work out: according to expectation, and in spite of the Church Meadow team's lowly place' in the chart. Funny how “paper” positions some bilges ^pset all pre- confceived noti ins' bf ability.} The Wariderers piled up a total}of 201 runs for seven wickets, and applied the} closure, ar d thfe visitors had to corijtent themselves m th sharing the points—and gl id to' do it- as events worked out. The Wanderers’ ,star turn was the r ew skipper, E. Stand­ ring, who hit f,7, and was unbeaten. The first time he} passed half- cefltury was a' the beginning of the season (51) a Clltheroe’s expense, altnough he v as within one: run of thd coveted fi| ures against Whalley.
