Moore joined McMahon, hut did not last "long, being bowled by Jones for 7. Others followed quickly, Jones taking all the wickets. _ The finish was very exciting. Nine wickets were down and a few runs were still required. McColl was last man in and kept his wicket up well. McMahon made the winning hit for four, off Pine, and in the next over was given out l.b.w. to Jones. For Y.M.C.A. Jones did remarkably well with the ball, taking 7 wickets for 20 runs. Wanderers were given the hardest fight they have had this season,, and' although they had an easy win, by dismissing Y.M.C.A. for 16 in their second innings, this might not have happened had Y.M.C.A. led) on the first innings.
