CRICKET . LEOMINSTER V. LUDLOW AND SOUTH SHROPSHIRE . The above match , which was played on the Grange on Thursday last , was marked by - low scoring on both sides and a very close finish resulted . Ludlow batted first and could do little against the bowling of Randall and Preece . The former commenced taking wic-- kets early , while Preece bowled eight maid- ens in his first twelve overs . At last luck . came his way and he secured five wickets for 24 Tu Leominster found the wicket very difficult and runs came slowly . The innings was marked by a fine innings by the captain , Vaughan Taylor , who put up a most useful 28 .

It was one of the nicest days we have had for cricket on Saturday last when Lucton School had Kinsham Court as their visitors . Winning the toss the School elected to bat , but they found that run getting was anything but easy , and the side was out with the total at 36. The Kinsham men started their inn- ings with Bevan and Mellers . The latter was dismissed by Bridgwater when 2 runs were registered and the next wicket fell at 9 . Garstone was the next man in and Bevan and he stayed in until the School total had been passed and with the total at 39 both retired . The remaining batsmen brought the total to 55 , Wiltshire again getting into double figures , leaving Kinsham Court winners of a very . pleasant game .

Latham asked if that meant that the ghost of the threatened strike of roadmen had been laid . Mr. C. F. K. Mainwaring ( chairman of the Roads and Bridges Committee ) said to the best of his knowledge there was not going to be a strike of their roadmen . Mr. Latham : To the best of my knowledge there is if these men are not given the money they ask . On the recommendation of the Public Health Committee the Council agreed to proposals setting up a children's open - air hospital at the Lady Forester Hospital , Much Wenlock .

" A pathetic story of dire poverty existing in a home which a detective officer described as " scrupulously clean , " moved the Lambeth magistrate on Monday to order the immediate necessities of a family to be relieved out of the poor - box funds . Charles Stanton , a labourer living in Cam- berwell , was charged with stealing 12s . 7d . from the automatic gas meter fitted to his apartments . He admitted to a policeman that he took the money , but added , " I had to do some- thing , as my wife and family were starving . " Stanton told the magistrate he had just come out of prison , after serving three months for a similar offence . " I have tried to get honest work , " he declared . The wife gave her husband a good character , and said he only did these things to keep the children from starving . Mr. May Halkett ordered a week's remand , but took the measures stated to ensure that the wife and children were not left destitute . BETTER DENTISTS BILL . BUTCHERS WHO PULL TEETH OUT .
