Cricket 1890

JULY 10, 1890. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME; of natural kingly courtesy and refinement.) The flocks may circle round each other on the tee, may pass upon the links, but need not intermingle. But scarcely can you pluck a twenty-two so closely as to include no fowl of black plumage and ill-assorted breeding. At golf you may choose your partner and your opponent; but a hand as irresponsible as Fate chooses for you your lunch companion at a cricket match. And what shall we say of our ri^al games as a school of youth ? Have we in golf that fine training of discipline, of obedience to a captain’s will, of renunciation of self for the side, of co-operation with others, that cricket so inculcates? No; golf does not give us this. It teaches lessons, maybe, as useful, but very different. It teaches a sturdy self- reliance ; it teaches to bear a firm front against misfortune ; it brings a knowledge that futile anger defeats its own ends; it makes a boy thoughtful—that is it makes a boy a man. But do we want a boy to be a man? Would we not rather that he remained awhile as he is —thoughtless, uncalculating—a cricketer, a boy ? He will have lots to think about before life has done with him. But, above all, at cricket we run, at golf we walk ; and here we touch the real broad line of distinction between cricket the game for boys, and golf the game for men. It is well enough to say that we believe golf to be the more scientific, the more varied, the more serious and all-absorbing study— cricket the jollier, the fresher, the better chaser of dull care; but it is in the natural paces of the games that we touch the true line of division. Running is boy’s natural pace. Birds fly, fishes swim, men walk, and boys run. It is the final dictum. Men walk and boys run—golfers walk and cricketers run; the golfer is a man, the cricketer is a boy. Which is the better? Doubtless, as in most of such cases, “ both is best.” There is a time to be a boy and a time to be a man ; all through life one can be at times the one, at times the other. And that the two games are not mutually incompatible we have a long list of famous names to prove, both of Scotsmen and of Southern cricketers who in their years of discretion have taken up with golf as a new love, without exciting any Nemesis on the part of the old love, for whom they still cherish a loyal, though a divided, affection. Our capricious climate defines but a brief season for cricket, but we may play golf from year’s end to year’s end ; so that the repentant cricketer has but himself to blame when, in envy of the swing of the golfer born and bred, he utters that familiar cry of lamentation, “ Oh! why did I not learn to golf when I was a boy ?” CROYDON v.
