Cricket 1883

JULY 12, 1883. CRICKET ; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME, 241 While on the subject of Mr. Horner's feat, I may add that one Keatinge, playing for the Lyceum Club at Dublin on Satur­ day last, took all ten wickets in the inn­ ings of the Civil Service, T he American record, if the state­ ment in tho official organ of the American Cricketers Association is reli­ able, was beaten on the lGtlioflastmontli. In a match between the Girard and Bel­ mont Clubs at Harrowgate, J. J. Carvin (56) and E. Hargrave (59) scored 1 for the first wicket of the former. This is said to be the greatest number of runs ever scored in Americafor the first wicket. I l e a r n from a regular correspondent in Canada, that Norley, the old Kent and Gloucestershire player, who, as I noticed a few weeks ago, can claim the distinc­ tion of being the firstEnglisli professional to obtain a regular engagement in the Dominion, is so pleased with his berth, that he has determined to stay there, having been engaged for all tlae year round. He is coach to Trinity College School at Port Hope, Canada. I t is reported that agents are already over here with a view to the visit of another English team to Australia. I give the rumour for what it is worth, but I have reason to believe that New South Wales will take a leading part in the arrangement for the next importation of English players into the Colonies. E veryone who appreciates genuine cricket will have read with satisfaction of Mr. E . F. S. Tylecote’s brilliant cricket for the Gentlemen against the Players at Lord’s on Monday and Tuesday. The old Cliftonian, who was for years able to claim the distinction of the highest re­ corded innings, 404 not out, has only once before appeared in this match on the Marylebone ground, in 1871, though he has repeatedly helped the Gentlemen at the Oval. His first appearance on the Surrey ground against the Players was in 1871, but since 1873 he has played in every match there, with tho exception of that of 1879. I have seen it stated that tho Gentlemen’s total of 441 is the largest ever made in this match at Lord’s, but this is wrong, as they scored 444 in 1875 and 449 in 1876 there. At the Oval the best record in this contest is ’ the 513 in 1870. Mr. Tylecote’s 107 is the eleventh innings of three figures made for the Gentlemen against the Players at Lord’s. The otliertsn were— Mr. Ward, 102 in 1825 ; Mr. W. G. Grace, 134 notout in 1868,109 in 1870 112 in 1872, 163 in 1873, 152 in 1875, 169 in 1876 ; Mr. A. W. Eidley, 103 in 1876; Mr. A. P. Lucas, 107, and Mr. C. T. Studd, 100 in 1882. As these lines are penned, the authori­ ties at Lord’s are commencing the pre­ parations for the fifty-ninth match between Eton and Harrow, which is to begin to-morrow. What the cricket is to be remains to be seen, but as a show the gathering bids fair to be a greater success than ever, and it is significant to read in a daily paper recently of the great in­ crease in the number of carriages, over four hundred having even a few days ago been booked for places. Vive la bagatelle! T he following are the averages of the twelve most successful cricketers of the season. The figures are taken from Inter-County and other important matches, and calculated lip to Satur­ day last:— Completed Highest Innings. Runs. Score. Average. W. W.

T he .Eton Eleven, I have been officially informed, will be E. J. Lucas (Capt.), J. Hargreaves, A. C. Eichards, Hon. C. M. K. Hugessen, E. H. Pemberton, A. H. Studd, P. Marchant, the old choices, and C. A. Grenfell, F. Thomas, Hon. A. E . Parker and H. W . Forster. Grenfell is the wicket-keeper of the team, and the bowlers are Eichards, Studd, both slow righ t; Parker, fast right, and Forster medium left, Hugessen was the lob bowler of last year. M y applications for an official list of the names of the Harrow Eleven have not been successful, but I learn that the following nine will positively play : — H. E . Crawley, T. Greatorex, H. T. Hewett, the only members of last year’s Eleven le ft; C. D. Buxton, Y. Thompson, E . M. Butler, B. A. F. Grieve, F. H. Oates, and A. E. Cox. The other two, I have good reason to believe, willbe W. A. E. Young, and A. F. Dauglish, the former of whom has recently come on as a bowler. Cox will be the Harrow wicket - keeper, and Grieve, of whom great things are expected, Hewett, Buxton, Thompson and Oates will furnish the bowling. As each School has won twenty-five matches, the game is sure to be stubbornly contested, and it is to be hoped that time will be made to allow of its completion. While on this subject, I may add that the editor of Harrow Notes lias prepared a special supplement of the paper, containing many details of interest to Harrovians, which can be had at Lord’s during the match. I n a match at Haileybury, on July 7, between the School and the M.C.C. & G. there was some curious scoring. The club being dismissed for 126 the first two batsmen of the School made eighty-one, (D’Aeth sixty-three) but ninewickets were down for 106 ; the last wicket, however, put on. with extras, ninety runs. Brownrigg and Alexander (both playing for the School for the first time) scored forty-two and fortyrespectively by very steady cricket. HORNSEY v. PUTNEY, Played at Putney on July 7. H ornsey . T. J.
