276 CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECORD OP THE GAME. JULY , 1892 the same basis of calculation. In fact, the players all participate in the sam e com peti­ tion, so that a com parison is reliable and conclusive. T iie lim it for the batting table, it will be seen, is six innings, with an average of 21, and in bowling, twenty wickets w ith m inimum of fifteen for an average. One noteworthy feature in the figures w ill, no doubt, suggest itself to many. It is that Sussex, whose attack has always been so lightly esteemed, of late years, should furnish two of the tw elve bowlers who comprise the last table.

Of late years the annual match between Gentle­ men and Players, at Lord’s, has usually followed that at the Oval, which has occupied the latter part of the week, opened by Oxford and Cambridge. The alteration of the Inter-University match this year necessitated a re-arrangement of the date of the other fixture, with the result that M.C.C. had the precedence in point of date. On the whole the elevens at Lord’s on Monday were thoroughly representative. Owing to their engagement at Dublin, Cambridge University could not con­ tribute anyone to tho Gentlemen, and in addition Mr. McGregor had to give up his place in consequence of the death of his brother last week. On the other hand tho injury to his hand at Edin­ burgh compelled Lohmann to stand down, and room was accordingly found for Abel. Sherwin was fortunate enough to beat Lord Hawke in the toss, and the Players consequently had th3 advantage of batting first on an excellent wicket. Of this they made full use, and the result of Monday’s play was 376 runs for the loss of only half the side. Of this sum tho three Notting­ ham professionals accounted for no less than 262. Gunn was badly missed from a chance of stumping when he had only got 4, and this de­ tracted from the merit of his performance. Otherwise he played in his best style, and his 103 Waa a characteristic display of sound cricket. He was in two hours and three quarters, and only fell to a fine catch behind the bowler. Shrews­ bury, who was batting for three hours and ten minutes, wanted only 2 runs of his hundred when he was bowled. There wag nothing like a mistake to be urged against his innings. Barnes subse- quentlv was seen to the best advantage, and when play ceased on Monday was not out 61, with Wainwright also not out 28. On Tuesday morn­ ing the score was increased to 408 before Barnes was out. After his retirement Wainwright found no one to stop with him, and as tbe last four bats­ men only made 17 between them the innings closed for an addition of 78 runs. Barnes’ batting was an agreeable contrast to some that had pre­ ceded it. His free cricket was much appreciated, and his 81, which only took him a little over two hours, was free from an actual chance. Wain­ wright, who carried out his bat for 56, fully upheld the reputation he has made this year as a bats­ man. During the two hours he was in he made no mistake. Messrs. Grace and Stoddart opened tho batting for the Gentlemen, and though Peel and Attewcll were followed by Lockwood, Abel, and Wainwright, at luuchoon time both batsmen were still in with the total 88, Stoddart 19 and Grace 38. Rain prevented a resumption till 3.30, and with the addition of three runs W.G. was out lbw to Attewell for a very useful 41. He had hardly left the wicket before there was another heavy down­ pour, and though the players waited till 5.30 there was no chance of resuming the game. Though the wicket was naturally slow yesterday it was fairly easy at the outset, and the ground for a time did not favour the bowlers much. Still a bad start was made by the Gentlemen, Wainwright with the very first ball bowling Mr* Stoddart for an exceedingly well played 49. Messrs. Scott and Dixon caused several changes in *he bowling, and 92 had been added in less than an hour and a half, when the latter was easily caught at mid-off. Mr. Scott did not stay long after Mr. Palairet’s appearance, as in hitting to leg he was caught at slip. For an hour and fifty minutes he had played the excellent bowling of the Players without a mistake. His 69 was a fitting supplement to his many good scores of the season for Middlesex. The wicket was now helping the bowlers, and Barnes troubled the batsmen considerably, though for­ tunately the sun never came out to make the pitch very difficult. Mi. Woods hit freely as usual, but no one else could do much, and the innings was ultimately over for 258. Barnes was very successful towards the finish, taking tjix wickets for 42 runs. Being 196 to the bad, the Gentlemen had to follow on, and against the good bowling and fielding of the Players, run getting was very difficult. After losing Mr. Stoddart at 11, Dr. Grace, who had been in fifty minutes for seven, was bowled, and Mr. Scott followed, well caught and bowled at 38. Mr. Dixon was bowle 1at 46, but Mr. Nepean found a useful partner in the Oxford Captain, and chiefly through the excellent cricket of the former, 45 were added. Mr. Nepean was out himself lbw at 99, and then Mr. Smith and Lord Hawke made a stand which gave some hopes that the Gentlemen might after all save the game. Mr. Smith, who played particularly well, saw Lord Hawke bowled at 164 and then the end soon came. Wainwright bowled Mr. Smith at 170, and as the ninth and tenth wickets both fell at the same total, the Players were left with a victory by an innings and 26 runs with half an hour in hand. Wainwright’s bowling was very successful, as will be seen. His five wickets only cost 37 P l a y e r s . Shrewsbury, b Grace Abel, b W oods..........36 Gunn, c Smith, Grace ..........
