Cricket 1884

458 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. o c t . s o .is s i. the time will be lost. Therefore there ought to be a good wicket. The roller should al­ ways be run over the* ground at the pitch of the ball before commencing practice; it’s well worth ten minutes’ patience to get good cricket instead of bad. I recommend Practice Bowlers to take a little pains with their batting, and also to study the science of the game, for they will then be good men to be engaged, even if their bowling is not quite tip top. Clubs, it is true, when first established usually begin by applying for a first rate bowler. But, I think that that is a mistaken notion, let them be­ gin with a moderate bowler, who is a pretty good bat. The bowling will be quite good enough, while by having one who can bat, they will by seeing him in now and then catch the ilea, and learn to play in a correct method. More can be taught in a week by showing the manner of play, than by months of talking. CRESCENT v. DARTMOUTH PARK. Played at the Eton and Middlesex, on Sept. 20. C r e sc e n t . W . G.

The eighteenth International match, under the above title, was played on the ground of tbe Germantown Club, at Nicetown, Phila­ delphia, on Sept. 15 and 16. The twelve which represented the United States included Brown, Law, Brewster, Stoever, Morgan and M’Nutt, six members of the Philadelphian Team which visited England this summer, but Lowry, J. A. Scott and R. S. Newhall (the two fir3t of whom only arrived in America in time to witness a part of the match) were absent. The team was certainly not the best that could be placed in the field, but, on the other hand, the Canadian twelve might also have been improved. The Cana­ dians won the tos3 and had, in consequence, the best of the wicket. The American bowling, with the exception of that of Welsh, was very moderate, and Harley, Jones, Ogden, Allan and Badgley got double figures in each innings. The out-cricket of the Canadians, too, was excellent, and so well did Ferrie and Gillespie bowl, aided by capital fielding, that, excepting by M ’Nutt, Morgan, Noble and D. S. Newhall, no batting worthy of note was shown. The Canadians won by 100 runs. This is their first victory since 1857, The American Cricketer , in commenting on the play, says that “ the Canadians won because they batted better, bowled better, and fielded better than the twelve which represented America,” CRESCENT v.

ALL PHILA­ DELPHIA. Total .109 Total ..121 The second annual match between elevens, representative of New York and Philadelphia, was played on the ground of the Staten Island Club, in New York, on Sept. 26 and 27. The team which represented Philadel­ phia was a very inferior one, containing only two members of the team which visited England, W.C. Morgan and S. Law. The New Yorkers, on the other hand, were a very strong eleven, and their cricket all round was so much superior that they were able to claim an easy victory with eight wickets to spare. The bowling of Lane, the Notting­ ham professional, who has been for some years engaged in New York, contributed in a great measure to the decisive success of the home team. He was credited with twelve wickets at a cost of only fifty-seven runs. C. Wilson, some few years ago well- known in connection with Somersetshire, Surrey and Prince’s Clubs, was chief scorer for New York. The winning eleven, which contained as many as ten members of the Staten Island Club, also included P. St. L. Grenfell, who was in the Eton College Eleven of 1880.
