T h e new batsmen whom’the season of 1892 has brought at all prominently to the front have been few in number. A reputation in first- class cricket is, as a rule, not tbe work of a summer. Yet until this year, even the name of the Freshman whom Oxford rejected was quite unknown. R. W. Rice went up to the University with nothing but his own worth to recommend him. In his case the hall­ mark of a Public School name was lacking. The whole of his cricket, in fact, was learned in Tewkesbury. Born there (on November 14th, 1868), he was also educated locally under the care of Mr. J. E. Priestley, the principal of the Abbey House School at Tewkesbury. There his cricket was not only learned, but it was there, too, that it received the real finish. Since 1884 he has played for the Tewkesbury Club, while finding time of recent years to assist the Bristol School­ masters, Cardiff, and East Gloucestershire as well in turn. His best years for the Town Club were in 1887, 1889, and 1890. In the first he had, besides the distinction of twice carrying his bat through the innings, an average of twenty-four, which was increased to 45 in 1889, and reached 38 in the following summer. In August, 1890, against Cheltenham he carried his bat through the innings for 34 against Woof’s bowling, on a slow wicket, having performed a precisely similar feat on the previous day. So far his highest score has been his 105 for East Gloucestershire v. Bourton Vale in July of last year, on which occasion he also carried out his bat after going in first. His introduction to Gloucestershire cricket was as long ago as September, 1889. Though he had then had no experience against bowl­ ing with any pretensions to first class, he none the less acquitted himself with credit. His score of 40, however, was outdone by one of 64 in the same match in the following April. Still it was not until this summer that his name became known to the general public. In the previous October he had gone into residence at Jesus College, Oxford, and it was there that he had the first chance of making his mark. It is not often indeed that such a creditable performance is recorded in the Freshmen’s match. His second score of 6G was the result of sound and watchful cricket, such as one would have thought would have entitled him to a good trial. The promise of this performance, too, was fulfilled by another useful innings of 38 for the Six­ teen against the Eleven in the following week. Still in spite of this double success, his style did not obtain favour with the Oxford Captain, at all events he did not find a place in the eleven in any of the Uni­ versity matches. W.G., however, had a better opinion of his capacity, and two useful scores against Surrey at the Oval, on his first trial for Gloucestershire, showed that “ the Master’s ” judgment was correct. Throughout the season, too, his defence was invaluable. His confidence for a young player was remarkable, and when things were going against the county, which was pretty often, he was always reliable. Excepting W.G., he was the most dependable batsman on the side, Indeed, for a first experience of County Cricket, his record of 1892 was sufficient to stamp him as a player of more than ordi­ nary promise. With height in his favour, he gets well over the ball. Watching it, too, very carefully, he plays with judgment as well as confidence. His sound and consistent defence enabled him to meet every kind of bowling this summer with uniform success. The exceeding promise of his first season has raised great hopes of a brilliant future which everyone will hope to see fully realised.
