Cricket 1892

154 CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECORD OF THE GAME. MAY 26 1892 CRICKET AT THE UNIVERSITIES. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY v. M.C.O. & G. M.O.C. Bent such a poor side to Cambridge on Monday, that the success of the University was practically assured at the start. In the absence of Messrs. R. N. Douglas and Streatfeild (owing to Exams.), places in the team were given to the Hon. M. G. Tollemache and Mr. Martin Scott, both of whom have been doing well in college matches. Cambridge winning the toss went in on Monday, on a excellent wicket, and made full use of the opportunity. With two exceptions the whole of the eleven were seen to advantage, and the majority scored so freely that the innings, which realized no less than 351 runs, was completed in four houra and a half. The only failures were Weigall, who has been scoring so heavily in recent matches, and Bromley Davenport, who had been twice not out in each of the two previous matches. The captain (F. S. Jackson) headed the list with a faultless innings of 88, which included a 6, eight 4’s, and three 3*s. Th* younger Douglas further improved his chances for his “ blue” by batting in taking style for 46, eventually playing a ball from Martin hard into his wicket. Later on Martin Scott. Hill, and Gay all hit very freely. The M.O.C. lost Mr. Wright and Flowers for 53 runs on Monday. Mr. Leese batted well, but wickets fell rapidly until the advent of Martin, who hit out at almost everything, and played a merry innings of 54. The University captain followed up his batting success by taking six wickets at a cost of 6 runs each. The visitors followed on in a minority of 200, and lost two wickets for 25 runs. Mr. Wright and Burns made a plucky attempt to redeem the fortunes of their side, and added 64 for the third wicket. After the dismissal of Mr. Wright, however, the end came quickly, and Cnmbridpje won by an innings and 61 runs. Bums played a dashing innings of 58, and was the only batsman able to meet the Univer- Bity bowling with any confidence. Mr. Bromley- Davenport secured the last four M.C.C. wickets for 18 runs.

The University Eleven commenced their season inauspiciously at Oxford at the end of last week, losing their first match, begun on Thursday, before the end of the second day. Five of last year’s team were available, the captain, L. C. H. Palairet, Watson, Boger, Berkeley, and T. B. Case. As the match was twelve-a-side the seven remain­ ing places were given to four Seniors, R. T. Jonea, Richmond, Hill, and Wilson, and three Fresh­ men, U. B. Fry, Phillips, and Brown of Bedford, the last a wicket keeper as substitute for Brain. The Gentlemen were old Oxonians with four exceptions, Messrs. McGregor, Vernon, Woods, and Ferris to wit. Going in first the Gentlemen scored fast, and the first hour produced 116 runs, mainly through the good hitting of Messrs. O’Brien and Hewett. The former, in particular, was in his best vein, making 36, including 17 from one over of Berkeley, out of 38 in sixteen minutes. After lunch rain caused several interruptions, and the out side were in consequence seen to a disadvantage. Mr. Woods profiting by the easy wicket hit with great vigour. He was only in an hour, and his resolute score of 73 included one six and twelve fours. More rain kept the wicket easy for Oxford on the first evening, and when play ceased their score showed 84 runs for the loss of two wickets. The two not-outs, Palairet and Phillips, added 18 runs before the latter played on. Palairet saw 23 added and was then bowled for an extremely free innings of 49, which included two hits out of the ground. The remainder of the batting was very disappointing. Hill, who added 20, alone of the later batsmen offered any resistance, and the last six wickets only added 42 runs. Following on, 88 to the bad, the University made a worse show against the bowling of Woods and Ferris who were unchanged. Though six of the side got double figures, Fry’s 19 was the highest score, and the total only reached 122. Left with only 35 to win the Gentlemen got the runs for the loss of Mr. O’Brien, so they won with ten wickets to spare. Mr. Woods’ fast bowling proved very effective. Altogether he took ten wickets for 125 runs. G e n t l e m e n of E n g l a n d . First Innings. H. Philipson, c Hill, b Palairet ..........29 S. M. J. Woods, b Berkeley ..........73 J. J.

PALAIRET’S TWELVE v. T. B. CASE’S TWELVE. Some fairly good scoring was the result of this match, played at Oxford on Monday and Tuesday. In all 572runs were scored for twenty-five wickets. The chief ruu-getter in the firBt innings of Palairet’s side was the old Wykehamist, Leveson-Gower. The captain, though, was the principal contributor in the match, playing good cricket each time. Watson, Taberer, and W. S. Case scored 162 out of 230 from the bat for T. B. Case’s side. Though he failed to bat up to his form in the trial matches, Fry was successful with the ball. He took ten of fourteen wickets for Case’s side. M r . P a l a ir e t ’ s S id e . First Innings. V. T. Hill, lbw, b Fry 11 R. W. Rice, b Fry ... 48 F.A.Phillips.bTaberer 30 R. C. fi.
