Cricket 1882

AUGUST 17,1882. CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 223 handed, and made to use both;hands equally ? For the umpire and for the near fields, it would be a great boon. Has a,ny one calculated the time taken up, and we think' wasted, from this one cause ? This is an old vices Our old county cricketers were mostly left-handed. The terms “ Amateur ” and “ Professional ” should be better defined. It seems monstrous that any one should play, as a gentleman for gentlemen, who receives pay either for his travelling expenses or the match. As to the “ residence ” question, we incline to think the county of birth should be the criterion ; a two years’ residence is a short time for a man to get up an interest in a county and entitle him to play for it. To compete for a close univer sity scholarship (if there be such a thing now!), the birthplace ascertains the qualification of the candidate. “ Playing for profit ” was always the rule, and betting is not,'we think, more carried on now than formerly. We read from old accounts great com­ plaints of the stakes hazarded, and the consequent immorality from winning and losing. No doubt future cricket will be found susceptible of other improvements. It has cot yet reached perfection, and when we fly to the moon iu a month, go round the earth in a day, sweep the heavens with our wings, dive like fishes in the sea, and burrow in the earth like moles—as I suppose our descendants will — cricket, which, as long as England remains England, will continue the game of the nation, will perhaps have reached another stage in its history. But we confess we are contented with it as it is, or rather as it was. These remarks will no doubt be received accord­ ing to the 1/dos and jj\iicia of the reader. Does he belong to the rising generation ? Is his star in the ascendant ? He will regard them perhaps as senile, bigoted* and worthless, the effusion of those who look at things with a jaundiced eye— Gandidior postquam tondenti barba cadebat. On the other hand, those who are beginning to feel the weight of the “ anni prseteriti,’' but have gathered, we will hope, some wisdom from their experience, who know the difficulty of reconciling with the reverence due to antiquity, the onward progress of the human mind, and who, perhaps, with Horace might be sometimes tempted to exclaim jEtas parentnra pejor avis tulit jNos nequiores, may be inclined to support the comparison we have instituted.
