Cricket 1885

OCT. 29,1885. CRIGKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 445 was detailed to send down the ball in place of Noble, and Clark had a try with the ball at Lowry’s end. A. J. Thornton hit Clark to leg for a 2 and a 3, and Charles Newhall bowled vice MacNntt. The Parson drove MacNutt, who continued at the lower end, finely to the ropes for 4, and cut C. Newhall for 4 more, besides sending MacNutt to leg for 4. At 85 Patterson was tried in MacNutt’s place, but the Parson was playing in perfect form, his leg hitting in particular being very good. “ Unless the stand is speedily broken,” said a good judge, “ tlie finest game of cricket ever played in America will end in a draw.” The score had almost reached a hundred, and the brothers had been associated close on an hour when C. Newhall at last found his way to the Parson’s leg stump. The Reverend had made 31, composed of five 4’s, three 3’s, and two singles. He received a great ovation on retiring to the club house. The brothers had added. 47 to the score. Sanders, who filled the vacancy, was stumped by Morgan. Bruen joined Thornton, and the latter got a 4 from a wild overthrow by Clark, while Bruen hit Newhall to leg for the same sum. It was then that the redoubt­ able Thornton’s time had come, C. Newhall ripp:ng his off stump out of the ground. A roar of cheers went up at the batsman’s retirement, and he was in turn cheeied to the club house. He had made 41, made up of three 4’s, three 3’s, four 2’s and singles. The score was 111. "When Horner went to his corner Morgan caught him behind the wickets. Whitby, who was the last man, had just half an hour to play. Dan Newhall went on to bowl lobs, and he was too much for the fast bowler. A yell, and the vast crowd surged out into the ground—the Philadelphians had won by 109 runs : the first defeat ever suffered by an English team in America. G entlem en of P h ilad elph ia .

The match against All New York was started on September 21, on the picturesque grounds of the Staten Island Cricket Club at Tompkinsville, S. I. The early attendance was large, and among those who were deeply interested in the game were Sir Richard Sutton, Mr. J. Beavor Webb, Sir William Levinge and Dr. Woodbury, ol the yacht Genesta. Tbe English cricketers came over from Philadelphia on the previous (Sunday) afternoon in a special car, stopping at Ger­ mantown to pick up the Rev. Mr. Thornton, who had been preaching that morning at St. Paul’s Church, Chestnut Hill. Captain Cyril Wilson won the toss from Parson Thornton, and at a quarter past twelve o’clock sent J. Mart and R. S. Hill to the bat on a rather sticky wicket. Bruen opened the bowling with Horner at the upper end. Mart lifted the latter’s first ball grandly to the off, but after driving the same bowler to long field off for two more he was given out, caught at the wickets by Newton. Butler partnered Hill, and the latter, who got a brace of singles, was sent to the clubhouse on an appeal for being stumped. Little Tyers then came to join his brother profes­ sional. The bowling was well on the spot and both batsmen handled it with care. Out of the twenty-seven overs delivered up to this time sixteenweremaidens, Horner havingsent down six in succession. Butler then cut the latterneatly for 4 and Tyers drove him to the on for 3 more. With the score at 30 Turner was detailed to bowl in the place of Horner, and with a dozen runs added Butler hit round at a straight one from Bruen. His score of 17 was made up of two fours, one three, one two and singles. The profes­ sionals had been associated an hour. Rogan was next, and he lifted the ball to Hine- Haycock at deep square-leg, where it was well held. The score was still at 42. Lamb­ kin was the next batsman, and Tyers con­ tinued to play beautifully. The bowling was very straight and the fielding almost perfect. After Tyers had been at the wickets for an hour and twenty minutes Bruen enticed him out of his ground, and Newton whipped off the bails. White came andLambkin was the third batsman to have his stumps rattled. Cleverley was next, and White, in endeavouring to make toe first run, was found out of his grjuud by Newton. Pool, the only American on the team, then went to the vacant wicket only to see Bruen, who was bowling iu better form than he did in Philadelphia, bowl and catch Cleverley prettily. McCall was the last man. Pool had one ball from Bruen, and was bowled. Thus ingloriously ended the New Yorkers’ innings for 66, being only four runs in exces3 of the first innings’ total made by Staten Islmd in their match with the Britishers. After luncheon at 3 p.m., the Englishmen started their innings with Turner and Hine- Haycook. Pool began the bowling at the upper end and Butler followed at the other. Bot'i batsmen showed very pretty cricket, tie bowling being really first class. Twelve overs had been bowled when Hine-Haycock was sharply taken at the wicket. Bolitho followed, and Wilson and Pool again con­ nected. Cobb was the incoming batsman, and Cleverley then bowled in Butler’s place. Pool was bowling splendidly—eight maidens out of eleven overs—but Cobb got on to Cleverley and drove him magnificently for two 4’s. At 38 McCall took the ball from Cleverley, but the Irish bowler was evidently not in practice. Again Pool proved success­ ful, as Turner, skying one, was well caught by Cleverley, who ran in to fifteen yards behind the bowler’s wicket. The score was 42 when the Parson took the vacant wicket. He made 10, which included a fine leg hit for 4, and then fell a victim to Mart at slip— a fine catch. Newton came and Tyers bowled in place of McCall. Newton hit freely, and at 77 Pool gave place to Lambkin, who in his second over found his way to Cobb’s middle stump. A. J. Thornton fol­ lowed, and Lambkin very nearly took his leg stump the second ball. Newton cut Tyers for two fours, and lifted Butler into the bay for five. Lambkin’s first five overs were maidens, in which was a wicket. New­ ton went on batting freely, and when time was called at 5.15 p.m. he had scored 41, made up of one 5, six 4’s, three 3’s, one 2, and only one single. A. J. Thornton was not out 6. Second D ay, Septem ber 22. Again the enclosure of the Staten Island club was hemmed in with spectators, many of whom were from afar. Syracuse, Troy, Albany, Elmira, Boston and even Chicago were represented by old cricketers. The clouds were heavy, and the light bad when the game was resumed at 11.30. The score was 111. Pool bowled the first over, and then Hill was tried. This experiment was expensive—eleven runs being the cost of the over. Pool sent down another maiden, and Hill bowled awide and was hit for two more. The batsmen stayed together till just twelve o’clock, and the score had been increased to 141, when A. J. Thornton popped one into White’s hands at point. Newton had con­ tinued his free play of the night before, and had altogether scored 64, in which there were only two singles. It was with con­ siderable gratification that it was found that Roller had recovered sufficiently from his strain to be able to take his place at the vacant wicket. The same bowlers continued the attack, and the field gave good support, White, at point; Rogan, extra cover ; Lamb­ kin, cover, and Mart at leg, being first-class. Rogan’s fielding and return to the wickets, also, were especially fine. Butler next bowled in Pool’s place, and McCall relieved Lambkin. When Newton had scored 80, in which there were only five singles, he lifted Butler straight in the long field, and it looked as if Mart should have got to the ball. The last named at 171 was tried in Butler’s place for two overs. Newt n at this juncture drove McCall for 4, and amid Next Issue November 26
