Cricket 1885

446 CRICKET* A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. oct . 2g, usb . great cheering secured his century. Tyers was put on to bowl in place of Mart, and in his first over after resuming, Roller was neatly caught at slip. Bruen was next. Newton continued to bat with great freedom, almost every ball going to the boundaries for 4. Cleverley then bowled in McCall’s place, and he speedily found his way to Bruen’s leg stump. Horner was next, and at ten minutes past one o’clock the same left hand bowler tipped Newton’s leg stump with a break back. The retiring batsman had scored 129, made up of two 5’s, eighteen 4’s, four 3’s, twelve 2’s and only eleven singles, a remarkably fine display of cricket. Whitby was the last man, the score being 234. All the bowling talent of the eleven was tried, but the separation could not be easily effected. Whitby when he had made twenty skyed the ball to Lambkin, but to the surprise of every one, and moreover to himself, the fieldsman dropped it. Whitby fell to a good catch by McCall at mid-off, 157 runs having been made in two hours. At a quarter to three o’clock New York started its second innings with Wilson and Hill. The bowling was in the hands of Bruen and Turner. A dozen runs were up when Hill was caught at short-leg. His score of 9 included a neat leg hit off Turner for 3. Butler joined the tall Staten Island captain. The professional cut and then drove Turner to the off, each stroke netting 4 runs. Wilson also got hold of the slow bowler and hit him to the on for 4 and two 2’s. The rain then began to fall, but the crowd on the terrace would not be driven from its position, and the slope looked like a mound of umbrellas. The ball began to shoot, and Butler was soon a victim to Turner. Tyers came, and Wilson who had been playing Bruen for half a dozen overs very tamely snioked one to the wicket-keeper. Mart sent the second ball he had into Whitby’s hands at mid-off. White and Tyers stopped until the score was 42, when White skyed the ball to cover-point. Lamb­ kin’s appearance was the signal for A. J. Thornton to go on with his peculiar lobs in place of Bruen. The slow bowler found Lambkin’s leg in front of the fctumps. Kogan was fifty seconds at the wicket. Cleverley was caught at slip, and then Pool and McCall received their quietus. The light had been very bad, but Tyers was the only batsman who seemed to have the faintest idea of playing the bowling. The innings closed at half-past four p.m. for 76, the Englishmen thus winning by an innings and 125 runs. A ll N ew Y obk First Innings. .T. M*rt. e Newton, b Horner 7 R 8 .

GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND v. ALL PHILADELPHIA. Philadelphia, Sept. 24 and 25. F ie st D a y , Sept. 24. This return match was begun on the Germantown Club Ground at Nioetown on Sept. 24. The game was witnessed by a large attendance. The grand stand was filled with ladies, and the ring numbered about three thousand. The Parson and Captain Dan Newhall met in the club house for the toss and, as the former won, the English team went in. The first batsmen were Roller (who batted evidently in great pain from his recent acci­ dent) and A. J. Thornton. Tbe appearance of the former at the •wickets was the signal for hearty applause in the club house. It was just twelve o’clock when MacNutt started the bowling from the club house end. Little Lowry followed at the other. Eoller drove Lowry to the on for 4, and twenty runs were secured in the first forty minutes Walter Clark then bowled in MacNutt’s stead. Thornton placed both bowlers pret­ tily on the leg side for several singles, and it looked as if the stand would be lengthy when the last named tipped a low one from Clark, and Morgan, behind the wicket, held it beautifully. Thirty-one runs were posted for the fall of the first wicket. Hine-Hay- cock came next, and more bovling changes were soon tried, Charle Newhall taking the ball in place of Lowry at 43, while Noble relieved Clark at 48. The batting at both ends was excellent, Boiler’s form in partic­ ular being much admired. The best judges of the game—those who have witnessed every international contest in America— said that never before had they witne ed such perfect and pretty cricket. At hilf- past one o’clock all hands went to luncheon, the score being 65. On the renewal MacNutt bowled from the lower end and runs came very quickly. Hine-Haycoek was at last tempted by the insidious Lowry, and he was stumped by Morgan, the wicket-keeper. The retiring batsman had hit two 4’s, one 3, and four 2’s. Ninety-two for two wickets was not a bad show for the Englishmen, but when Turner, seven runs later, was nabbed by MacNutt the outlook was not so bright. Parson Thornton, who came next, played Lowry with great care, and 100 was soon posted on the telegraph. The score was raised to 123, and then Eoller, going out to hit Lowry, was caught. Eoller had been two hours and three-quarters at the bat. He did not give a chance in his magnificent innings of 04, which was made up of seven 4’s, one 3, five 2’s and singles. Newton, who came next, commenced to hit freely but was soon out, fineIv caught by D. Newhall. Cobb was splendidly caught by Lowry at leg—a low down difficult catch, and Bolitho fell to a catch at Blip. All these three wickets were captured inside of ten minutes. The score was 141 when Bruen came, and with the Parson he made things lively. Free hitting and sharp running were the order of the hour. Bruen hit hard and his life was a merry one till he was caught at mid-off. Horner was the next batsman and he was soon caught at the wicket. Whitby got a neat off hit for 4, and the Parson, who was hitting at every ball, good, bad or indifferent, cut both Clark and C. Newhall to the boun­ daries. Then Whitby was clean bowled, the only one in the innings. Parson Thornton carried his bat for a finely compiled 43, made up of one 5 (an overthrow), two 4’s, fonr 3’g, three 2’s and singles. The total was 193,the innings being finished at 4.30 p.m. Without wasting any time the Philadel­ phians commenced their innings with Clark and Morgan. Bruen and Whitby were the bowlers. Fifteen runs were booked, and then Turner and Horner constituted the battery. At five o’clock, however, 21 runs were on the score book without the loss of a wicket, and the stumps were drawn for the day Second Day, Sept. 25. Perfect weather again favoured the fixture and though the attendance was at first a little scanty, during the afternoon there must have been quite seven thousand spectators. At 10.45 Clark aud Morgan resumed the batting for the Philadelphians, to the bowling of Turner and Horner. Buns came very slowly and only nine runs had been added when Clark was well taken at mid-on. Thayer came in to see Morgan caught at the wickit, and E. Newhall, his successor, was had in ths slips without scoring. Scott now joined Thayer and gave Horner a difficult chano3 from a hard return. That bowler, however, had some compensation immediately after­ wards, Thayer being well-taken by Cobb, low down at point, from him—4 for 62. C. A. Newhall joined Soott, but with only five added the former put his leg in front of his wicket, and made way for his captain. Dan Newhall hit freely, and nine runs from ono over of Turner caused that bowler to give way to Whitby, the oaptain then having been in one hour for 16 runs. The next change was Bruen for Horner, and, after a number of overs devoid of much interest, he clean bowled Captain Dan Newhall, who was manifestly not at home with the new trundler- The indioator at this point showed 86-6-16. Noble failed to break his duck, and MacNutt, the next batsman, shortly afterwards had to leave, playing Bruen on. The follow-on now appeared almost in­ evitable, but BrewBter helped Scott, who had been showing fine cricket, to avengo this disaster. Horner was substituted for Bruen, who had been severely punished in the last few overs, and soon after A. J. Thornton went on with lobs. Still runB came at agreat pace, chiefly from Scott, till'at last, with the score at 147, Brewster was tbowled by Thornton for amost efficient and praiseworthy 20, his cool nerve and steady play averting a follow-on, which would have been most dis­ astrous to the Gentlemen of Philadelphia. Lowry, who, as usual, came last, was clean- bowled with the first ball of the next over, Scott being not out for amagnificent innings of 56. Too much praise cannot, indeed, be given him, as his runs were made at a time when they were very much needed. The innings closed for 3 47, or 46 runB behind the score of the Gentlemen of England. After the customary intermission for lunch, Eoller and A. J. Thornton appeared for the English­ men at 2.15, to the bowling of C1A. Newhall and Lowry. The bowling was very good from the start, and both men played very carefully, taking no liberties. Buns came slowly but surely, and it was not until 37 had been got that the first wicket fell, Clark upsetting N e s t i s s u e N o v e m b e r 2 6
