Cricket 1892

50 CKICKET: A WEEKLY BECOBD OF THE GAME. APRIL 14, 1892 defence he does not lack power, hitting hard particularly on the off side. He has, too, a very safe pair of hands and is a sure field anywhere. Though he played the Rugby game in turn for St Edward’s School, St. George’s Hos­ pital, an 1 the United Hospitals, and the local team known as the Trojans, his fancy has latterly led him to Association football. As president of the St. Mary’s Football Club, Southampton, he has shown his interest practically in the “ socker ” game, of which he is now a keen supporter.

TWENTY-TWO OF ORANGE FREE STATE. B loem fontein , M arch 3, 4, and 5. After leaving Port Elizabeth, the team had a journey of 450 mile3 to Bloemfontein. Beautiful weather greeted their arrival at the capital of the Orange Free State, which was en fete owing to the opening of the first Horticultural Show by President Rectz. The match, which began on March 3, was played throughout in oppressive heat. As the English team had the disadvantage of fielding out for two of the three days, they were hardly seen at their best. The batting of the Twenty-two, who won the toss, was chiefly noticeable for the display of Hopwood, who contributed 32 in really good style. Mr, Ferris proved far too much for the majority of the team, and his analysis showed thirteen wickets for thirty-one runs. This time Chatterton was unlucky to be dismissed without a run, and the bulk of the run-getting was done by George Hearne, Mr. Read, and Pougher. Hearne was batting two hours and a half for his 44. In their second attempt the local players made a very creditable show, declaring itheir innings with a respectable total of 130 for nine wickets. The hero of this performance was C. Fichardt. He was in three hours and played throughout with confidence and judgment. His runs, too, were got without a chance. The match was eventually drawn, the English team wanting 97to win with eight wickets in hand. M r . R ead ’ s T eam . ■ Chatterton. b Du Toit 0 A. Bearne,b Hopwood 5 Mr. W. L.

K im berley , M arch 7, 8 and 9. The result of this match was a drawn game in favour of the English team. The Twenty- Two, who went in first, made a fairly good show, chiefly through the good cricket of Judge, Powell, Grimmer, and Vigne. Mr. Brockwell,bGraham 13 J. T.

Hearne again bowled un­ changed, the former with rather the better average. Chatterton’s batting was the feature of the first innings of the English Team. Going in first he was eighth out, having contributed 43, including five fours. Going iu a second time with a lead of 22 runs the Twenty-Two were seen to much better advantage, and the innings was closed with the total 136 for the loss of fourteen wickets. This left the Englishmen with 159 to win and only two hours and a half left for play. With twenty-two in the field this was an impossible task, and when time was up 96 had been got for the loss of three batsmen. M r . W. W. R ead ’ s T eam . First Innings.

EIGHTEENTH M A T C H -v. FIFTEEN OF WESTERN PROVINCE. C apetown , M arch 12, 14, 15, and 16. The Fifteen was a fairly strong side, including several cricketers well known on English grounds, among them Frank Hearne, of Kent; C. Mills, of Surrey; H. H. Castens, the old Oxonian, W. II. Milton, T. Routledge, and the brothers Richards. The Fifteen, who went in first, only made a moderate show against the bowling of Mr. Ferris and the two Hearnes, realising an average of just ten runs. Frank Hearne made 23 in good style, and Mills got 17 by steady cricket. The highest scorer, though, was G. Cripps, who played freely in each innings. At the end of the first day the English Team had made 4.5 with one wicket down, and this number had been raised to 142 for the loss of three more batsmen when rain stopped play on the second afternoon. Only an hour’s play w h s possible, owing to rain, on the third day, and in this time the innings was closed for an addition of 62 runs. Mills bowled with great success, taking six wickets for 60 runs. Chatterton’s 77 was an excellent display ot' steady cricket. Pougher bowled with great effect on the last day, and except by A. Richards, Mills, and Cripps, who was again seen to advantage, no serious opposition w hs offered to the Leicestershire bowler, who took eight wickets for 21 runs. Left with 48 to win the English Te.tm ha;l no difficulty in getting the number for the loss of one wickct.
