Cricket 1889

286 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. JULY 25 1889. GENTLEMEN OF PHILADELPHIA. SIXTH MATCH—v. GENT. OF SURREY. Some unusually high run-getting was the result of this match, played at Kennington Oval on Thursday last and two following days. When the game ended on Saturday night 1,150 runs had been totalled for thirty-three wickets, and three scores of over a hundred as well as one of 98 recorded. The Surrey amateurs were strong in batting, but on the other hand their bowling was very weak, and, as was generally expected, they had a long outing. The Philadelphians were in the field most of the first day, the Surrey Gentlemen occupying the wickets till nearly 5.30. There were seven double figures, but all were eclipsed by the fine performance of Mr. Read, who made 105 out of the first 168 runs without anything like a mistake. The Philadelphians, who had lost three wickets for 70 runs overnight, gave an excellent exhibition of batting on Friday, and were not dismissed until they had reached the formidable total of 458. Messrs. Scott, Mor­ gan, Newhall, Clark, and Brewster were the principal contributors, and the two first-named in particular showed to advantage, putting on 169 for the fifth wicket. Morgan might have been caught at the wicket, but fccott, as far as we could see, did not give a chance in his score of 142. Though his attitude is not very taking, he watched the ball very closely and played the game thoroughly, his defence being as good at the end as at the commence­ ment of the innings. He was batting alto­ gether for five hours, and, as a display of con­ sistent unwearying defence, it was worthy of the highest praise. Mr. Morgan, who was unlucky enough to be caught when only two short of three figures, gave a haid chance at the wicket, but otherwise his innings was without a flaw. Surrey, 164 to the bad on the first innings, had made 46 on Friday night for the loss of one of their best batsman, Mr. Key. Rain interfered with the game considerably on Saturday morning, but, helped by some mistakes in the field, Messrs. J. Shuter and Read scored freely, and later on, as in the first innings, Mr. Freeman played pluckily and well. Mr. Read, though he gave more than one chance, was again seen at his best, scoring freely from all the bowling. He was in just three hours, and it is worthy of remark that his feat in scoring two hundreds has never before, we believe, been recorded in a match at the Oval. Indeed, we think we are right in saying that it has only been done by five other batsmen, Lambert, Messrs. W. G. Grace, D. G. Spiro, W. Townshend, and F. W. Maude. When the Philadelphians went in a second time on Saturday afternoon, they had 192 to get to win. Not quite an hour, though, remained for play, and, during this time, three batsmen were dismissed for 43. The game was consequently drawn, the Phila­ delphians wanting 149 to win, with seven wickets in hand. Scott’s all-round cricket was the feature of the match. In addition to his score of 142, as will be seen, he took twelve of the twenty Surrey wickets. The aggregate of 1,150 is the largest, so far, at the Oval, beating that of the Gentlemen and Players a fortnight before by five runs. G e n tl e m e n o r S u r r e y . First Innings; W. W.

The Marylebone Club put a strong Amateur eleven into the field at Lord’s on Monday, to oppose the Philadelphians, and the result was an easy win by an innings and 84 runs. Rain only allowed about forty-five minutes’ play on Tuesday, and the Philadelphians, who had to field out for four hours and a half on Monday, while their opponents ran up a big total of 383, had to bat yesterday under great dis­ advantages. Patterson was the highest scorer in the first innings with a well played 52, but in the follow on the team fared badly against the bowling of Grace and Nepean and were all out for 64. Clarke and Thornton on the first day put on 168 for the seventh wicket of M.O.C. in an hour and a half. W. G. Grace and Nepeanbowled unchanged throughout the Philadelphians’ second innings. The latter’s five cost 30, the former’s four wickets 32 runs. G e n tlem e n op M.C.C. W. G. Grace, b Clark 26 C. I. Thornton, st Morgan, b Scott... 73 A. E.
