Cricket 1889

118 CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECORD OF THE GAME. MAY 16, 1889. CRICKET AT CAMBRIDGE. THE FRESHMENS’ MATCH. Mr. Ford’s side had all the best of this annual match, begun at Cambridge on Thursday, and the game ended on the following evening in an easy win for his team, by an innings and 120 runs. The twenty-four Freshmen included some of the best all-round Publio School cricketers of 1888, among them Yate Lee of Eton, V. F. Leese the Winchester Captain, Orr of Clifton, and Woodhead of Loretto, as well as some youngsters who had made repu­ tations at minor schools, notably Crawford of Highgate, Ross of Bath, and Beresford of Oundle. Mr. Woods’ side went in first, but no one except Crawford, who played in good free style, made any long stay. Crawford con­ tributed 77 out of 145 from the bat, and in his Boore were twelve fours. Leese and Ross, who opened the batting for Mr. Ford’s side, made a good commencement, and 82 had been got before the former was out. When Beres­ ford joined Ross, even a more determined resistance was offered to the bowlers on Mr. Woods’ side, and at the end of the first day the total was 248 for three wickets, Beresford, who made runs the faster, not out 98, and Ross not out 89. Resuming on the second day Beresford was bowled. He had helped to add 160 runs to the total, and his innings of 106, one altogether free from a mistake, included fourteen fours. Ross stayed till 39 more were.added, and was then caught at square-leg. He had played steadily and well for his 119, a very praiseworthy exhibition of cricket in every way. In a minority of 219 Mr. Woods’ side went in a second time, but with Yate Lee, who was unable to bat owing to an injury to his knee, and Harrison both absent, their chances were not hopeful, and Heath proved to be the highest contributor to the total of 101. Barber, Beresford, Orr, Bennett, Hoffmeyer, Scott, and Badeley, as will be seen,were the most successful bowlers. M r . S. M. J. Woods’ Side. First Innings. Second Innings. R. O.

Though disappointed of Mr. W. G. Grace, who has not been able to play just lately owing to a sore throat, Mr. Thornton took a strongish side down to Cambridge on Monday, to give the University eleven their first trial, as has been his habit of late years. Briggs, Lohmann, Hearne, and Pilling represented the professionals in his team, and the two first- named, as will be seen, contributed in a great measure to the deoisive defeat of the Cam­ bridge men. Mr. Ford, the University cap­ tain, had five old choices to assist him, and the other five places were filled by three seniors, Messrs. Foley, the old Etonian, who batted so well in the Seniors’ match, De Little, an Australian who was tried as a fast bowler in some of the later matches of 1888, Rowell, an old Marlburian, a consistent bat, as well as two new men,Messrs.Ross andBeresford,who hadboth scored well in the Freshmen’s match. Very little play was possible on Monday, owing to the state of the ground, and when the game did begin just after four o’clock, it only lasted an hour and five minutes. During this time Mr. Thornton’s team had made 61 for the loss of one batsman (Pilling), Messrs. Webbe and Nepean being not out. On Tues­ day a start was not practicable until past one o’clock, and then the University were under a great disadvantage in having a wet ball and ground. As a consequence, most of the Eng­ land eleven showed up well, and eight of them reached double figures. Mr. Webbe was seen at his best, and Lohmann’s batting was worthy of high praise, his hitting when he settled down being hard and well-timed. Mr. Thornton at the close, too, showed that he still retained much of his old power. He was missed at mid-off at thirteen, but gave no other chance, and his hits, in addition to six fours, including one six off Mr. Ford. As the wicket, too, was in favour of the ball when Cambridge went in on Tuesday after­ noon, Lohmann and Briggs, perhaps the two most formidable bowlers under such con­ ditions, proved too much for the University batsmen. Messrs. Gosling and Mordaunt, the two old Etonians, showed good cricket, and the pair were responsible for 70 out of a total of 95, the former, in particular, batting with care and judgment. Following on in a minority of 199 runs, the Cantabs again could do nothing with the bowling of Lohmann and Briggs, and Mr. Woods, who hit freely, was the only one to get double figures. As the total of the second innings only reached 60, the University were beaten by an innings and 139 runs. Lohmann, it will be seen, bowled throughout the match, and Briggs was only resting for ten overs. The former, though, had much the better figures. As will be seen, his twelve wickets only cost 74 runs, and every one will be glad to see him opening the season in such promising form. E n g l a n d E l e v e n . C a m b r id g e U n iv e r sit y .
