Cricket 1890

436 CKICKET A WEEKLY KECORD OF THE GAME. OCT. 30, 1890, delivered that the off stump was half way to the long-stop before the University cricketer was aware that he was out. Four men went out that over. I never saw such pace or such bowling, ” said uncle with a grin. “ Bingley’s slows were always in the very place where they did not expect them, and, as for Johnson’s, most of them never saw the ball at all. Every other ball, on an average, took a wicket, and when it did take it, one or two stumps went for a short walk. Well, they were all out for 53, and then it was our turn. I went in with Carr. At 63 I was out, leg-before-wicket, and Gibson followed. I could see that he meant giving them something, which he did, but was finally caught at slip for 25. Johnson and Carr then got together, and run-getting was the order of the day. The latter fairly astonished the on-lookers by his on-driv­ ing and leg-hitting. In amongst the spectators, over the large tent, and into the adjacent field, went the ball, till the fieldsmen were fairly worn out, while poor Fanshaw was as limp as a wet rag. 1What’s the matter with you, uncle?’ said Gibson, for I had my handkerchief up to my face. ‘ A fly in my eye, Harry. Come and take it out for me.’ Well, I went with him on one side and had a good laugh—I was obliged to, for I couldn’t hold it any longer. John­ son 65 runs, Bingley 47, and Carr 178 not out. Full score 415 runs. And not a soul in the know but myself ! It was too rich ! But it was time for their second innings. The clock had just chimed the 5.30 and we drew at 6 o’clock. I f John­ son and Bingley bowled well the first innings they fairly astonished the parson in the second. The former took eight wickets for 3 runs, while the latter took five for 12. They were all out in twenty minutes for 15. The peculiarity about Johnson was, that every time he took a wicket, out came his pocket handkerchief and he blew his nose with a report that sounded all over the ground. The curate joined the spectacle-makers’ society, and cast a despairing glance at me as he passed on his way to the tent. Well,” says uncle Toby, “ the fun did not end here. I was asked lots of questions about the match, but I held my peace, yea, even to my chums. Next year, in July, 1859, Fan­ shaw went for his holiday. When he came back at the end of the month, he walked straight to the farm. ‘ Mr. Jeffery,’ said he, 11 want you to look at this score-card of the match between Surrey and Notts, which I attended at the Oval. There are the names of Parr, Tinley and Jackson. The first-named scored 130, c Martingell, b Caf'fyn. Tinley scored b Stephenson 39, and Jackson, c Mudie, b Caffyn 27. You see, also, that Tinley took five wickets,and Jackson three in the first innings. My attention was drawn to the latter,by the peculiar manner in which he used his pocket handkerchief on every occasion that he took a wicket. I thought I had heard it before, and so spoke to him about it as he came out, but he merely laughed and said, “ Aw doossent call tha ta mind, lad.” Am I correct in assuming that those three professionals played for you in our return match, last year, under the names of Carr, Johnson, and Bingley ?’ ‘ Quite correct, Mr. Fan­ shaw, they were down with me for some rabbit shooting, and, although they had not learnt their cricket at the University, I thought it would prove a good lesson to you for me to play them on this occasion.’ ‘ Quite so, Mr. Jeffery, but, at the same time, I cannot but regret that you took that method to show your non-appreciation of my efforts to improve the cricket of the village.’ Poor par­ son !” said uncle Toby, thoughtfully, after a pull at the brown jug. “ He never forgave me, I am afraid, for he left us soon after, and we went back to our old ways and habits, and never acquired the University style of cricket. Mary, of course, married Harry Gibson, i ? ” said uncle Toby, “ not I, lad. At least, not till the old brown jug is broken. Then, perhaps, I ’ll advertise for a wife.” H AM P STEAD CLUB.
