Cricket 1892

SEPT. 22, 1892 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 459 In batting, Percy Northcote has been once more the mainstay of the B b ck e n h a m C lu b , as the averages which follow will show. His large total of 773 includes three centuries, obtained against Bickley Park, Richmond, and Blackheath respectively. 0. O. Cooper has also done yeoman’s service for the Club, his runs being the result of most consistent cricket. Both the Messrs. Noakes have excel­ lent averages. Considering the few times he has played J. Robertson also scored well. In the bowling department P. Northcote again stands easily first, as although his name appears only fifth in the averages, he has obtained 61 wickets ^nearly double the number of anyone else) at a cost of little over 12 runs per wicket. The Beckenham averages follow;— Matches played 27—Won 13, lost 10, drawn 4. BATTING AVERAGES. BATTING AVERAGES. The following have averages of double figures Times Times. Most in. Inns, not out.

Twenty matches in all were played, of which fifteen were won, one drawn, and only one lost. The club has been especially strong in batting, but the bowling has been some­ what weak. J.H.C.Fegan, S.Castle, Capt. G. Hamilton and A. W. Stewart have batted very well indeed, while StanleyChristopherson has done excellent service in the bowling depart­ ment. The fielding on the whole has been excellent, and the team has been managed in first-rate form by Stanley Christopherson. George Street has kept the ground in very good order, and the wickets have shown a wonderful improvement. The averages are as follow The K e n s in g to n C lu b arranged twenty- four matches. Two were not played, owing to rain, and of the twenty-two decided, nineteen were won, two drawn, and only one lost, a splendid record. The highestscores made were 375 against CaneHill Asylum, and 256 for five wickets against Spencer. The highest innings against the club was 226 by Pallingswick on August 1. The best individual scores have been : Salmon (professional) 99 v. Spenoer, J. Briggs 97 v. Cane Hill, C. E. Bloomer 97 v. Cheshunt. It was indeed hard luck that with three batsman all so near, no innings of a hundred should have been recorded. J. Briggs has the best batting average, closely followed by the above-named, and F. M. Wheatley and E. V. Gardner. The brunt of the bowling has been borne by E. Y. Gardner and W. A. Watson assisted by H. D. Taylor. Gardner’s analysis is distinctly creditable, as he has taken ninety- nine wickets for an average of six runs each. Watson showed fifty-six wickets for ten, and Taylor twenty-eight for eight. Kensington are removing to a new ground opposite'their present one in Wood Lane, Shepherd’s Bush, where they have secured a first-rate piece of ground of good size,with excellent turf. A lease of seven years has been obtained, with option of renewal for seven or fourteen years more. There was a large increase of members this year, and many more applicants for mem­ bership than the Committee felt justified in admitting. Kensington, wemay add, is the old Kensington School Club,closely allied with the well-known Kensington Football Club, and has no connection with the Kensington (High Street) Cricket Club, composed of Barker and Co.’s employees. All che old members will be to the fore next season, and with a new and improved ground, and stronger list of matches, there is every reason to predict even a greater measure of success. Salmon, who has given great satisfaction, as well as shown considerable improvement as a cricketer, has been engaged again for next season. Among the clubs defeatedby Kensington were Ealing, South Hampstead, Holborn, Pallingswick, Cane Hill, and West Herts. During the season just ended, the C royd on C lu b has played 62 matches, of which twenty-five were won, twenty-three lost, and fourteen drawn. The only century was by F. J. Rolls, who scored 142, on July 9, v. Beddington. S. J. Ching did the hat trick on May 7, v. Mitcham. On September 10, v. ' Northbrook, L. J. Trower took four wickets, all of them bowled, with consecutive balls. ETON RAMBLERS. Matches Played 29-W on 12, drawn 10, lost 7. BATTINGA AVERAGES. Time*. Most In. Inns, not out. Raus. an Inns.
