Cricket 1888

418 CBICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME/ S EPT. 20, 1888 cricket. His best score was 93 against Yorkshire at Huddersfield, and this inn­ ings was the more meritorious as the latter part took place on a wicket drying under the sun and playing very queerly. Against every kind of bowling, though, he proved equally at home, and his summary for a first season was most creditable, showing 487 runs for nineteen completed innings, which gives an average of 25.12. In minor matches, too, he showed that he retained all his powers of run-getting, aud in Devonshire, in the week following the Canterbury Festival, he made 434 runs in three completed innings. Few batsmen have been able to claim such an excellent record in a first year of county cricket. Everyone is justified, too, in hoping that he will more than uphold his form of 1888. A singularly keen cricketer, he loses no chance of perfecting his play. Watching the ball carefully always, he is never at a loss on any wickets, and he often scores when others fail from difficulties of ground. He has, too, plenty of hitting power, and when he likes scores very fast. As a bowler, too, he is not at all to be despised, as he keeps a good length, and uses his head well. In minor matches, indeed, he has been very successful, and both in 1886 and 1887 was credited with over a hundred wickets during the season. He is, moreover, a useful field anywhere. _______________________ MR. D IVER ’S X I. v. KENSINGTON. Played at Eynham Field on September 15. K e n s in g t o n . H. R. Payne, b H. W.

Total >ut on 59 before the first wicket fell, and the .atter was not dismissed until he had reached 32, a very fine innings. Towards the end of their outing the Canadian fielding fell off materially, and the last batsman, Tobin, was able, with more than one life, to get forty. Being 135 to the bad, the Canadians had all the worst of the game, and Hynes (slow round) and J. P. Fitzgerald bowled so well when they went in again, that the display of batting was of a very moderate kind. Saunders, who got 21 out of 44 from the bat, alone showed any form, and not one of the others got double figures. Hynes’ bowling was remarkably successful, his six wickets or ly costing 17 runs. In the second innings the Canadians only realised 49. The Irishmen were left with an easy win by an innings and runs. G e n t l e m e n o p C a n a d a . First Innings. D. W. Saunders, b J. P.

THE FIFTH MATCH—v. FIFTEEN OF HAMILTON. Owing to the late arrival of the visitors this match was not commenced on Sept. 3 till 2 p.m. The Irishmen, who won the toss, were the first to bat, and remained at the wickets till 5 o’clock, scoring 146 runs. Of this sum Hynes contributed as many as 74, a brilliant display, although he ought to have been easily caught when he had made 44. At the end of the first day the Fifteen had lost one wicket for 26, and this number on the follow­ ing morning was increased to 175, Dr. Og­ den, the Canadian captain, Gillespie, Saunders, and Ferrie proving the most successful bats­ men. When the Irishmen went in a second time, Ogden, too, was seen to advantage with the ball, and Dunn, whose brilliant score of 77 included ten fours, and Hynes alone made a lengthy stand. The last wicket fell just as time was up, so that the game ended in a draw with the score as under: 56 Ogden, c Dunn, b Synnott ................. Dixon, c J. P.

IN THE FOURTH MATCH—v. GENTLEMEN OF CANADA. After the completion of their match against Fifteen of the Northern Counties, at Orillia on August 28, the Irish Gentlemen made the best of their way to Toronto, where they safely arrived on the following morning. After a day of sight-seeing and entertainment by various members of the Toronto Club, they commenced their fourth match on Thursday, August 30, against the Gentlemen of Canada. S. Field, the old Uppingham boy, of Kingston, was unable to play for the Canadians owing to a sprained ankle, but the team which opposed the Irishmen was, in spite of the absence of G. W. Jones and Henry, fairly representative, including six of the players who visited England last year. Dr. Ogden, the Canadian captain, having beaten D. Cronin in the toss, took the innings, sending in Saunders and Stratton to face the bowling of W. Johnston (slow round) and J. P. Fitzgerald (fast round). The bowling and fielding of the Irishmen proved too much for the home team, and Gillespie, Fleury, and W . W. Jones alone got double figures. J. P. Fitzgerald and Hynes J. P.
