Cricket 1885

.182.. . CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. MAY 14, 1885. is sufficient to show tlmt the mem­ bers will not only be able to boast a pavilion neat in exterior but replete with every internal convenience. There seems to be a desire to make the Philadelphia Club the M.C.C. of America, and the idea seems to be well conceived. I should think my­ self that a club based on the lines of the Marylebone Club would contri­ bute materially to the development of American cricket. I am glad to find that my genial companion in cricket literature, The American Cricketer, has not suc­ cumbed to the difficulties which threatened effectuallyto limit its sphere of utility, if not to destroy it altogether. In spite of only lukewarm support, The Cricketer has worked very hard and unselfishly in the interests of the game, and it would not have been creditable to cricketers on the other side of the big drink had it, just as cricket seems likely to secure a strong hold in America, been obliged to sus­ pend operations. Through the good offices of the Belmont, Germantown, Merion, and Young America Clubs, the paper seems to have secured a new lease of life, and I earnestly hope that the cricketers of America will combine to give it loyal and hearty support. M b . W . W. R e a d has already in a County matph fully justified my pre­ diction that he was likely to be in rare run-getting form for Surrey this season. Considering that it was his first chance in an important fixture, and that the ground had not quite recovered from the recent rains, his performance at the Oval on Monday, in scoring 143 out of 205 while he was in, must be accounted as remarkable. Though one of the daily sporting papers thought right to speak rather dispar­ agingly of it as a whole, it will be enough for ordinary judges to learn that he gave no chance until he had made 115. might be sent here for the benefit of his widow and child, who, it is said, are in very poor circumstances, were properly bestowed. I n o t i c e with pleasure that the American Cricketer has invited con­ tributions in aid of the family of the late Martyn McIntyre. The Notting­ ham professor was atone time engaged at Philadelphia, by the Germantown Club, and he had, consequently, some claims on American Cricket. By some accidental omission I did not at the time take notice of his death, which occurred on the 28fch of February last. Some years ago I saw a good deal of him, and I should be glad to see that any sums which I h a v e had to record of late more than one noteworthy performance, with bat as well as ball, from the Adelaide Observer. That paper of April 4 makes mention of a bowling feat well worthy of notice. It was credited to one F. Howlett, who, playing in a match between Langhornes Bridge and Woodcliester, clean bowled seven of the latter with successive balls. T h e Rev. E . W . Blore, Vice-Mas- ter of Trinity College, who is a?so the President of the Cambridge University Cricket Club, has, all Cantabs will be glad to learn, at last so far recovered as to be able to be safely removed from London to Cambridge. Though still seriously ill it will be satisfactory to his many friends to know that he is in no immediate danger. NORTH v. SOUTH OP HANTS. The new ground of the Hampshire Club was opened on Friday and Saturday, with some heavy scoring. Only twenty wickets fell during the two days. Mr. F. E. Lacey, the old Cantab, who has scored so heavily for the county of late, opened the season in brilliant form. He hit in his best style, contributing 181 not out, to the total of 398 made by the South. E. Hall and he were answerable for 270 out of 369 got from the bat. The match was drawn with a considerable advantage to the South. N o r t h o f H a n t s . b Mr. A. B. Heath, Dible .. ..................0 Tovej, b Dible .. .. 8 Mr. E.

Read and Abel put on 181 runs for the second wicket of Surrey, in tli6 match against Essex, at the Oral on Monday. COLTS OF THE NORTH v. COLTS OF THE SOUTH. The Southern Colts made a very poor show in this match at Lord’s on Monday and Tuesday, although their opponents were by no means the strongest eleven 1he North could place in the field. The wicket on the first day, owing to recent rains, w&s difficult; but there was little fault to be found with it on Tuesday. The bat­ ting of tbe Southerners was very weak, the only ones who made at all a noteworthy display being Comber and Chilton. The latter hit freely, but tho test form was shown by Comber. He went in first and was last out in the second innings. He also kept wicket in very creditable style. Nichol­ son and Preston, of Yorkshire; W right and Price, of Notts ; W illett, of Leicestershire, were the most successful batsmen for the North. Preston also bowled with effect on the second day, and fielded very smartly. Copeland, a slow left-handed bowler, engaged on the Lancashire County Ground, took seven wickets in the first innings of the South for 17 runs. The Northerners won by 151 runs. N orth .
