Cricket 1892

DEC. 2P, 1892 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. 503 There seems to have been a consensus of opinion that little care was exercised in the production o the bats of lighter weight. There is no doubt a good deal of force in the conten­ tion, but the question of supply and demand will soon provide the remedy. Meanwhile it is satisfactory, if for noth­ ing else, to find the instructors of the budding cricketer, in such a busy centre as Brighton, are at least of one accord in such important matteis. C oningham , the Queensland cricketer, who was spoken of as a probable member of the last Australian, team has since he settled down in Sydney at the commence­ ment of the season now in progress, already fulfilled the reputation which preceded him in a way which would seem to suggest him as a very likely candi­ date for a place in the combination which the Australian Cricket Council will have to approve before it can be properly qualified to visit England under the new dispensation. H e opened his Sydney career in pro­ mising style by rattling up 48 in double quick time, in addition to bowling seven wickets for eighteen runs against a strong thirteen at Manly. On Nov. 9, for eleven seniors of Sydney against eighteen juniors, he not only got the highest score of the match (28) but took seven wickets for 35 runs. A week later, too, he con­ tributed 44 of 63 for two wickets for the Sydney Club, the Warwick Club. As a left-hand bowler, and withal a brilliant field, as well as a dangerous batsman, his all-round cricket on paper form ought to be considerably above the average. A curious incident was the cause of the dismissal of Vautin in the match between the South Melbourne and East Mel­ bourne Clubs on November 12. The batsman had been playing in very good form for the East, when he was run out in a rather singular way. In making a very hard straight drive the ball knocked the bat out of Horan’s hand at the other wicket. Vautin followed up his stroke, but Horan turned round in his crease te see what had become of his bat as well as the ball, and before Vautin could get back the ball was fielded and he was run out. Hence these tears. I t may interest C ricket readers to know that J. Worrall, who was a mem­ ber of the Melbourne C lub Australian team which came to England some years ago, has been scoring very heavily in Melbourne this season, and is freely mentioned as worthy of a place in the Australian team of 1893. English cricketers will be glad to learn, too, that Dr. Barrett, the Jeft-handed batsman who did such good service with the last Australian team, is said this season to be in the best trim after having been out of form last season. I t will be good news to C ricket readers generally to learn that the “ Tartar,” with George Lohmann and Maurice Head on board, reached Lisbon safely yesterday on her voyage from South­ ampton to the Cape via Madeira and Tenenffe. During the last fortnight, as everyone knows, Lohmann has been ill, and on the advice of an eminent physician he has wisely decided to go abroad in the hope that he may be able to take his place in the Surrey Eleven next season. The mild climate at Torquay, where he stayed for the last fortnight previous to his departure, appeared to do him a considerable amount of good, and the salubrious air at Wynberg, in South Africa,where he is to make his first stay, at all events it is hoped, will work a great change in him. In Maurice Read, he will have a reliable and cheery companion, and the best wishes of every C ric k e t reader will go with the pair for their early return to England. It deserves to be recorded that the Surrey County C.C. defray the expenses of tho two cricketers. CRICKET IN JAMAICA. GARRISON v. KINGSTON. Played at Sabina Park on November 16. Lieut. Drury in the first innings of Kingston took seven wickets for fifteen runs. He also had the distinction of the bat trick, Capt. Friend made his first appearance for the Jamaica Garrison, who won on the first inniugs by 37 runs. K in g st o n . First Innings. C. P. Hurditch, b Drury... 0 J. F.

Captain Jackson, for the Regiment, took six wickets for 13 runs, and Lieutenant Drury four for nine. The result was an easy win for the Regiment, as will be seen. W e st I n d ia R e g im e n t .
