On Tuesday last the return match between the above clubs was played on the Workington green, the weather being favorable, and the playing excellent. The Keswick team were the victors in the previous match, which was played at Keswick some three weeks ago by 43 points, and, as will be seen from the return appended, they again beat their opponents by 9 points on their own green, making a total of 52 points on the match. This result was anything but welcome to the Workington players, as we understand that it is the only time that they have been beaten on their own ground. Our correspondent adds that a prominent player on the Workington side when playing at Keswick, feeling anything but in a pleasant mood at the result of the game, made use of the expression that on a particular green at Keswick he understood at times they were in the habit of catching eels, insinuating that it was a swamp and not a green. Whatever his opinion may be now we have no means of knowing. We would, however, recommend him in future to moderate his language, and remember that, there are more places than Workington where the scientific game of bowling is played, and, as a natural consequence, equally good players.- NIL DESPERANDUM.
