Cricket 1888

170 CKICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. MAT 31, 1688. announcement I made last week, fore­ shadowing such an event. Mr. Studd was married on the 7th of last month, at the British Consulate at Tientsin in North China, to Miss Priscilla Stewart, who joined the Inland China Mission last autumn. Yai Yuan Fu in Shanso is the name of the station where Mr. and Mrs. Studd have been carrying on their good work. Mr. Punch has the following lines on our own grand old man. They are so happy that I shall be pardoned, I hope, for reproducing them in their entirety. TO W. G. (By an Old Admirer.) . [M r . W. G. Grace, playing at Brighton last week, made a score of 215 runs.] Oh, W. G., tireless W. G., More power to your elbow ! although one can see Your foes hardly wished that at Brighton. How many—at forty—could pile such a score ? But you—may you do it a hundred times more, My black-bearded cricketing Titan ! Two hundred and fifteen ! Some thundering thumps The ball must have had whilst you stood at the stumps Till the trundlers despaired of your wicket. No wonder they call you in jubilant glee, And after another great W.G., The very “ Grand Old M an” of Cricket! Well, William, there’s work for you, friend, and no error! There’s Ferris, the Fiend, and there’s Turner, the Terror, Are licking our Counties like winking. Their pitch, and their pace, and their break seem to flurry The best of our batsmen from Yorkshire or Surrey; That’s scarce to your taste I am thinking. I ’m sure, my dear W G., you’re a yearner To “ collar ” smart Ferris, and score off of Turner, And thump for threefigures the pair of ’em. Well, when you next meet may you flog ’em like fun, For its time, my swart Titan, that something was done To lessen the funk and the scare of ’em. The Cornstalks are rattlers, my William, all round; As bowlers they’re smart, and as batsmen ) they’re sound, As good as they make ’em, or pick ’em. But, William, my champion, although we may feel They’re brothers in breed, foemen worthy our steel, Our duty’ s to love, laud —and lick ’em ! Mr. W . H. C ooper , the selector of teams for the Victorian Association, in a letter just received, speaks hopefully of the near future of the game in that Colony, in spite of the lack of interest which seems to have pervaded the cricket world there just lately. He states that there are several very promising juniors coming on, and is sanguine that in a year or two Victoria will again be well to the front in Australian cricket. Mr. Cooper, though he has a very high opinion of Turner and Ferris, of the former particularly on a sticky wicket, does not, it may be of interest to state, rank them in the same class with Spofforth when at his best, and even on Turner’s own wickets considers Lohmann and Attewell as quite as good. Mr. Cooper, indeed, would prefer Loh­ mann for a tour, and considering what the Surrey player has done in the face of the heavy work he has had on the occasion of his two visits to Australia, the Victorian selector, it will bo admitted I think, is not a very bad judge. C ric k e t readers who remember Mr. Cooper here in 1884, will be glad to hear that he is well, and likely to be of use again, though his hand has only just lately fully re­ covered from the injury he received on his way to England. T h e following will represent the Players in the match against the Aus­ tralians at Kennington Oval to-day:— G. Ulyett, R. Peel, J. M. Preston, of Yorkshire ; W . Gunn, W. Barnes, W . Flowers, of Notts; J. M. Read, G. A. Lohmann, R. Abel, H . Wood, of Surrey; and W . Wright, of Kent. ESHER v. FREE FORESTERS. Played at Esher on May 26. T. D.

The Yorkshire eleven, who have not been showing up at all well this season, suffered another defeat at Cambridge yesterday, when they were beaten by Cambridge University with four wickets to spare. Lord Hawke, Mr. Hill, and Hunter were absent from the county team, and Moorhouse and Yeadon were tried, the latter as a wicket-keeper,for the first time. The best batting of Yorkshire’s first inningswas shown by the colts,Moorhouse and Wainwright, and the former’s 42 was the highest score on the side. The Yorkshiremen had a lead of eight runs when they began their second innings, but did not come quite up to the amount of their previous show, and the chief feature of the batting was the excellent play of Lee, who carried out his bat for a well-got 70. Messrs. Mordaunt and Gosling, who played so well for Cambridge in the first innings, again showed good cricket when they went in a second^ time, and the first wicket realised 73 runs. Heavy rain on Tuesday night did not improve their chances yesterday, but Mr. Kemp offered a sturdy resistance to the Yorkshire bowlers, and his score of 41 (not out) helped in a very great measure to give Cambridge the victory. Mr. Woods, the Cambridge fast bowler, was again very much in evidence. He took twelve Yorkshire wickets for an aggregate of 137 runs. Y o r k sh ir e . First Innings.
