G en e r al M an a g e r . Gvtchet: A W E E K L Y RECOBD OF THE GAME. *1, ST. ANDREWS HILL, LONDON, E.G. THURSDAY, AUGUST 18th , 1892. The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet, I t falls to the luck of few clubs to be able to claim that they have gone through the first three months of the season without a reverse. Islington Albion, which is one of the oldest, if not the very oldest, of metropolitan cricket organisations, could make such a boast this year without fear of contradiction. As a matter of fact their defeat at the hands of the Hampstead Club on the 12th of this month was their first upset this summer, It was due in a great measure to the very fine batting of A. E. Stoddart, who made 92, and in a lesser degre to the scores of H. R. Lipscomb and C. H. Gray. The Albion had too a slice of bad luck, in an injury to A. S. Bull, who had his finger severely injured by our old friend, Spoff, alias “ The Demon.’* M e n tio n of unbeaten records reminds me that the Hampstead Nondesciipts were on tour in the South last week, and without a damper in the way of a defeat. In their opening match on August 8 and 9 at Chiches­ ter they had the satisfaction of beating Priory Park by an innings and 20 runs. W . W. A’Deane was the central figure, in the batting line at least, with a score of 109 not out. O n the 10th, thanks to scores of 100 by L. Corke, 72 not out by F. H. Maturin, and 58 by M. A. Jacques, they made 292 for three wickets, and then disposed of Goodwood for 66. Corke, too, was as successful with the ball, taking seven wickets for only 23 runs. Littlehampton lost by 50 runs, a result chiefly due to the good bowling of C. Braithwaite, who took five wickets for twenty runsf Friday gave the Nondescripts another win against Tunbridge Wells, this time by ten runs. Rain stopped the last match, against Horsham, and after the local team had made 235 for four wickets, the game had to be abandoned. I t will interest many C r ic k e t readers in different parts of the kingdom to know that the reputation of the Hine-Haycock family is being well cared for in the hands of the young­ est of the brotherhood of which T.R. was the chief exemplar. The young Gunner Y.R.— the initials have a right royal roll - has been making his mark in Irish cricket just lately at all events. A correspondent has sent me a score of a match played on July 30th at Youghall, between the local club and Spike Island. Lieut. Hine-Haycock was the chief figure in the match, for he went through the innings for Spike Island, making 102 out of a total of 131 from the bat. This is his first century. I may add. Two days before his all-round cricket was of great service to the Royal Artillery against Cork County. On that occasion he made 30, equal to the highest score on the side, and took ten wickets for 75 runs.
