Cricket 1891

464 CEICKET: A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. OCT. 29, 1891 slovenly work of the day before, and with only 18 runs added the Englishmen were all out for 383. So unexpected was this rapid dismissal that the remaining members of the visiting team had not reached the grounds, and five substitutes were in the field when the repre­ sentatives of the Empire State went to bat. Smallwood and Annand opened the innings but the separation came quickly. Prender­ gast put some life into the game by hitting the ball hard, scoring 20 before being clean bowled by Brown. Rose also followed his example and made things lively while he was there, and also managed to make 20 before being disposed of by the same bowler. Woods, however, had now reached the ground, and was immediately put on to bowl, with the most disastrous results for the home team. Wicket after wicket fell with alarming rapidity, Archie Brown being the only one to offei any resistance till Snellgrove came in. Snellgrove proved to be a hitter, and actually made 16 runs off the “ demon ” tefore being caught and bowled. The total was only 122, Brown being 23 not out and Woods’ analysis reading 10 wickets for 49 runs. The New Yorkers being 261 runs in arrear of course had to follow on. Brown and Annand were the first representatives, and some very good batting was seen, 31 runs being on the score sheet before Annand was retired lbw. At the call of time 99 runs had been scored with only three wickets down, Brown and Prendergast both being well set with 54 and 12 to their credit. T h ir d D ay , W ednesday , O ctober 7. It was a cold, cheerless day and the crowd wisely stayed at home. Brown and Pren­ dergast, the “ not outs,” went to the wickets, and being perfectly at ease with the bowling, seemed inclined to rapidly increase the score, when at 126 a separation was effected, Pren­ dergast being run out for a valuable 34. Rose came and went without much change in the total, but upon Davies joining Brown the runs were piled up with startling rapidity; 130,140, 150 and 160 all went up on the board without a separation being effected, when at 166, the rain, which had been threatening all the day, came down with such persistence that the game had to be abandoned, the New Yorkers being still 95 runs to the bad, but having ten good wickets to fall. Too much praise cannot be given to Archie Brown for his fine exhibi­ tion at the bat, in the two innings he totalled 95 runs and not out. Several of the visiting players, including Lord Hawke, who was a spectator during all of the innings of the home team, congratulated Brown on his fine display of stubborn defence and well-timed hitting.

F irst D ay , F r id a y , O ctober 9, The cricket grounds afc Mount Washington have never before presented so gay an appear­ ance, for of the fifteen hundred spectators present, nearly one-half were ladies. Having won the toss, Lord Hawke naturally decided to bat, and sent in Hewett and Wright to face the bowling of Smith and Brown. A poor start was made, Hewtt being taken at m id-on for nine. Woods took his place and played patiently for a time. His first contributions were seven singles, but he then opened his shoulders and lifted one out of the grounds. He was soon afterwards dismissed, however, while Hornsby helped to increase the total to 72 before he decided to leave. Wreford- Brown joined Wright, and some great cricket was then seen, the runs coming very steadily. Just before lunch, Wright was dismissed, he having made 69 by good cricket. In his score were twelve fours and two threes. Key and Lord Throwley were soon dismissed, but Lord Hawke, after being missed from an easy one at mid-off, put some life into the game. His hitting was the most vigorous ever seen here, and the spectators were delighted. Two balls were deposited out of the ground for six each, while he also scored five fours and a two out of his 39. When he had made 72, Wreford-Brown was taken from a skyer by the wicket-keeper. W ith the exception of the chance at 42, he had shown faultless cricket and was deservedly applauded. No one else did anything, and the innings closed for 305. H. M. Brown was the most successful bowler, capturing five for 75 runs. Having 50 min­ utes to play, the Baltimoreans sent in L. K. Mallinckrodt and J. Glenn, Junr., the bowlers being Woods and Wreford-Brown. A good start was made, but when 20 appeared on the score board Wreford-Brown clean bowled Glenn for 5. J. E. Carey came in, and after 14, had two stumps upset by one of Woods’ fastest. Just afterwards, Mallinckrodt let one from Woods pass him, and his off stump was lowered. J. N. Steele filled the vacancy and played two balls, but Woods then beat him with a beauty which caused him to retire. J. S. Brancker and J. G. Wright then played out time. S econd D ay , S atu rday , O ctober 10. The weather was dull and cloudy, the light being decidedly against the batsmen. The spectators however were not afraid of the weather, but turned out in as large a number aS on the day before. The over-night score was not much increased before a wicket fell and then a regular stampede followed. Both the bowlers, Woods and Wreford-Brown, were in splendid form, the wicket and the light helping them not a little. Fifty-two runs were on the score sheet when play began, with ten wickets to fall. In thirty-five minutes the innings was over, and a total of 70 registered. When the analysis came to be studied it was found that in this half-hour’s play, Wreford- Brown had four wickets to his credit for a total of five runs, while the Cambridge Captain must needs be satisfied with six wickets for 11 runs. Being 235 runs behind, the home team had to follow on and this time the attack was entrusted to Hornsby and Ricketts. Hornsby was simply unplayable, and met with even greater success than Woods did in the first innings, getting nine wickets for 22 runs. The brothers Steele were the only double figure contributors, but Glenn, Mallinckrodt, Carey and Cole all added their quota to the small score. W ith the half-cen­ tury mark passed and only six wickets down, it was reasonable to suppose that a three- figure total would be the result of the second venture, but by a chapter of accidents four wickets fell with the total unchanged at 57. S. T. Steele and Cole then by some vigorous hitting brought the score up to 70 when Cole was dismissed. Steele stayed on till the total had reached 82 when he was caught and bowled by Hillyard, and Lippincott was run out with only 3 more runs added. G entlemen op E ngland . H. T.
