asted, and certainly all
would have been altered had it not been for the amazing bowling
of Paton. His analysis was five for 6--a wonderful achievement.
The wicket was, indeed, to a certain extent favourable to him,
but he was able to make the ball swing with his arm and break
back in a fashion that was quite astounding. A. E. R. Gilligan
worked with his usual energy and bore the brunt of the bowling.
While he did not have the success of Paton, he bowled extremely
well, taking four for 30. All our team fielded so well that to
specify individuals would be unnecessary. The Sherborne team
brought off some excellent catches, though their ground-fielding
was not quite so good. Wheeler bowled very well, and Westlake was
in splendid form behind the wicket. After the match there were
the usual handshakings and so forth, and we started back for
London at five-thirty, getting to Waterloo at about eight
o'clock. Our visit was quite delightful, and we send our very
best thanks to our Sherborne friends for their kindness and
hospitality.

Of the match with St. Paul's School in July, 1914, in which Dulwich
were badly beaten, he wrote:

We would have given much to win this match, in particular, but at
least there is the consolation that we lost to a really great
side which could hardly have been beaten by any school in the
country. The St. Paul's batting was so splendidly balanced that
every man could be sure of a 10 or 20, while Skeet and Gibb were
always certain of really good knocks; and in bowling the wizardry
of Pearson was in itself enough to conjure any team out.

St. Paul's knocked up 188 in their first innings. Dulwich were
disposed of for 67, largely owing to the bowling of Pearson.

The Pauline "demon" had now got all our men into a terrible
"funk," and the result was that wickets began to fall at both
ends like ninepins: 44-9-3. Then came the best batting of the
game. Gilkes joined Brown, and quickly showed that he was not the
man to hide his head before foes, however strong. After smiting
Roberts to the leg boundary, he did the same to the off, and with
Brown playing his usually steady game--being particularly smart
in short runs--the 50 and 60 soon went up. But it could not go
on, for at 67 Brown, avoiding Scylla, fell into the jaws of
Charybdis--in
