Cricket 1892

466 CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECORD OF THE GAME, OCT 27, 1892 THE LONDON CLUBS. Full particulars of B o sto n P a rk ’s seasoq appear in another part of the paper. M. V. Jupp, who has given good proof of his power with the ball, is a son of G. H. Jupp, the old Middlesex cricketer, who still retains much of his old ability, judging from the fact that he stands second in the batting averages, and made the highest score for the club this year. Another son (G-.H., jun.) comes out well with bat as well as ball, although not quite so successful as hitherto. He played for the Eighteen of Mid-Surrey against the County Eleven last month at Richmond. Attention should also be called to the batting and bowling of W. Williams, who represented Middlesex some few years ago. The season of the E ast M olesey Club ended on Saturday, 27th August. There were 20 matches arranged, of which 5 were won, 3 drawn, and 3 abandoned through rain and scratching. The draws were mostly in favour of Molesey, in one case the last man being in at call of time. The wins were against Heathfield, Dulwich, Vagabonds, Mr. G. Burd’s team, and the Boat Club. Losses against Heathfield, Hampton Wick, Mitcham, Mr. Tyack’s team, Clapton, Rich­ mond, Thames Ditton, Surrey Club and Ground, and Feltham. Highest scores 242 v. Boat Club (Adams not out 5S), 132 v. Dulwich (H. E. Knight 46), 181 v. Vaga­ bonds (H. E. Knight 49), and 264 for two wickets v. Mr. G. M. Burd’s team (S. Knight 134 not out, H. E. Knight 45, C. C. Barker 52 not out). S. Knight heads the batting averages with 32.37 for ten innings, H. E. Knight second with 31.4 for eleven innings, H. S. Cochrane third with 17 for ten innings. BATTING AVERAGES. S. Knight... ... H. E.

The average for was 13.03, against 15.04. Forest Hill’s highest inningd was 317, against 332 ; its lowest 28, against 30. H. A. Hooker had the best batting average, scoring 364 runs in sixteen completed (aveiage 22.75). W. W. Capes, who made the highest score (89), was first in the bowling tables. He took 83 wickets for 778 runs, giving an average of 9 37. The eleven sadly missed their good little bowler, E. H. Edwards, who bad to give up owing to bad health. The aim of the Forest Hill Club has always been to advance, and this year they were meeting much stronger clubs. G u y ’s H o s p ita l had a most successful season. They played in all 21 matches, 13 of which were won, 5 lost, and 3 drawn. They also se­ cured the Hospital Challenge Cup for the third year in succession. The success of the team was chiefly due to good all-round play. The elevens are strong in batting and bowling alike, and their fielding generally was ex­ cellent. They went on tour in Wales for the second time and only experienced one defeat, at Thornbury, which was due to the ex­ ceptionally fine bowling of Roberts, the Gloucestershire professional. They lo e the services for the next season of three men whose loss will be felt, but there is every likelihood of their places being filled by two or three good all-round cricketers. The averages are as under. BATTING 'AVERAGES. Times Most in Inns, not out.Runs, an Inns. Aver. C. J. Francis ... 24 ... 2 ... 628 ... 106 ... 28.54 W. J.

The club now seems to have recovered the high position it occupied some eight or nine years ago, when several players who afterwards appeared withcredit in County cricket were constantly playing in the eleven, and the improvement reflects great credit upon the younger generation of members who have worked the club up to its former position and reputation. The success of the club during the present season is clearly shown by the aggregate scores during the season, for 5,692 runs have been made for 402 wickets, an average of 14.15 per wicket, as against 4,096 runs for 428 wickets, an average of but 9.57 per wicket. H. C. Preece, the captain of the club, is first amon^; those who qualify for the average, having an aggregate of over 900 runs, and an average of 33.74, which is the record average for the club since its commencement. S. G. Wilkinson and A. E. Owens, who have higher averages, only played occasionally for the team, but it is satisfactory to know that they will play continuously during the next season. T. W. Buxton is at the head of the bowling averages, and E. Barham, who has some splendid figures, including 126 wickets, is second, and both have done a great deal of hard and serviceable work during the season. Three centuries have been made for the club, T. Sawyer 170, A. E. Owens 104 (not out), and H. C. Preece 101, with two other scores over 90, and eighteen between 50 and 100. The hon. sec. is arranging stronger matches for next season, and fcone or two dates for strong clubs are now open. BATTING AVERAGES. Inns T. Sawyer.......... 4 S. G. Wilkinson 7 A. E. Owens ... 7 FT.
