472 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. NOV. 26, 1891 LORD HAWKE’S TEAM IN AMEBICA. FIFTH MATCH.—v. BOSTON ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. L ongwood , O ctober 12 and 13. The fifth game of the trip was played at Boston, the English amateurs then decisively defeating a team of the Boston Athletic Asso­ ciation by 240 runs. The weather was cold, and the attendance was consequently so small that it was decided to abandon the supple­ mentary match talked of for the third day. Twelve played on each side, at the request of the local management, who declined receiving odds. Chambers, the professional of the home team, was in fine form in the first innings, when he took seven wickets, all clean bowled, at a cost of only 81 runs. £C. W right and Lord Hawke batted well in both innings; H. T. Hewett, K. J. Key, and JC. W. Brown ably seconded their efforts in the second innings, with contributions of 37, 31, and 27, respec­ tively. C. L. Bixby, in the first innings, and J. W. Dutton in the second, alone made any stand against Woods and Hornsby, who bowled unchanged throughout both innings, the former capturing no fewer than thirteen wickets, nine clean bowled, at a cost of only 25 runs. Woods’ record in the second innings of seven wickets for 7 runs is remarkable. Hornsby’s seven wickets cost only 27 runs. L ord ; H awke ’ s XI. First Innings. Second Innings. S. M. J.

The weather was cold and cheerless, more especially on the second;day. Notwithstanding the depressing elements, the spectators turned out in goodly numbers, and the Chicago Club have reason to congratulate themselves on the success of the venture. From a cricketer’s point of view, however, the result was not cheering, as the defeat was a crushing one. The visitors went first to the bat, and quickly put together 186 runs, the chief contributors being H. T. Hewett with 41 and G. W. Ricketts with 34. E. B. Ogden was the most effective bowler, but his five wickets cost 78 runs. The Chicago team made 35 in their first innings, W . P. Griswold with 14 being the highest scorer. Woods captured seven wickets for only 17 runs. The same number of runs was made off Hornsby, who bowled through­ out at the other end. Being compelled to follow their innings the Chicago eleven were retired for 61 runs, although E. R. Ogden and MacPherson had put on 35 runs for the first wicket. Hornsby did the best bowling in the second innings, taking five wickets for 17 runs. L ord H aw ke ’ s E leven . C. Wreford-Brown, c Keenan, b Roberts 31 C. W. Wright, b E.

T oronto , O ctober 20 and 21, The seventh match of the tour and the first on Canadian soil was played on the above dates and resulted in a one innings victory for the visitors. The ground at Rosedale was in splendid condition and the wicket had been carefully prepared, but the weather was any­ thing but inviting for cricket, heavy clouds with slight flurries of rain prevailing on both days. Lord Hawke having won the toss, sent Wright and Hornsby to the bat to the bowling of Dicky and Hall, a fair start was made and the run-getting was continued well down the line, Hornsby and tlie Captain being the principal contributors. Hewett and Rioketts, of whom muoh was expected, were dismissed very cheaply, not adding anything to the total, but M’Alpine and Lord Throwley hit hard and clean, rapidly bringing up the total to 184 when both were dismissed, leaving Milles not out without having had a chance to score. Boyd and Bowbanks were the first repre­ sentatives of Western Ontario to face the bowling of Woods and Hornsby, and right well did they settle down to the work before them. Not till the fourth over did Boyd make his first run, and ten overs were bowled before the score reached double figures. Bow­ banks was bowled for 8 after playing an eminently careful game, and Terry, who wa 3 loudly cheered, joined Boyd, who now made some splendid drives off Woods, in fact the last bowler was hit so hard that the Captain deputed Milles to bowl in his stead. The scoring continuing, Woods went on again in place of Hornsby, and then the trouble com­ menced. The second wicket was down for 41, Boyd being bowled by Woods for 26, made in first-class style, he received well-earned applause, as he went to the Club House. W ith the exception of Jones and Goldingham the others offered but slight resistance to the “ demon’s ” bowling, and the innings closed for 82. In the morning of the second day the Toronto men went again to the wickets but this time failed to make such a good stand as in the first innings. Boyd was again the best at the bat but of the rest, Laing alone got into double figures, the others being easy victims to the bowling of Woods and Brown. The innings closed for 48, leaving the Englishmen victorious by an innings and 54 runs. L ord H aw ke ’ s E leven . C. W. Wright, b Hall 12 J. H. J.
