Cricket 1892

APR IL 28, 1892 CBICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. 9 but rather that, like Somersetshire, many a minor County will by sheer pluck and merit work its way up into the best company. CAMBR IDGE UN IVERSITY - The cricket season at Cambridge was practically opened on Monday last, when the Trinity College Freshmen’ s match was begun. Among the new men were several of the most successful Public School players of last year. Of them, the best known were five captains, R. C. Norman of Eton, C. G. Pope of Harrow, E. Field of Clifton, E. J. Whitting of Rugby, and W. G. Druce of Marl­ borough. S. D. Corbett of Clifton, and A. T Agar of Westminster, both of whom took part in the match between the Gentlemen of Surrey and the Public Schools on the Richmond Athletio Ground, last August, had also the advantage of a good School reputation. The two sides were captained by H. F. Wright and G. A. T. Foljambe respectively. The former went in first and were dismissed for a total of 169. Of 151 from the, bat, the Eton and Harrow Captains as will be seen contributed more than one half. Both played well, Norman, who made fifty, in particular batting in free style. Illness, it will be remembered, last'year compelled him to retire in the middle of the Harrow match, depriving Eton not only of the valuable advice of their captain but also of one of their very best batsmen when most wanted. Mr. Foljambe’s side were only able to make 75, and, consequently, had to follow on. In the second innings Whitting, who had been the principal scorer in the first, was again seen to advantage, making 46. Though no** so successful at Rugby last year as was hoped and expected, he proved himself a good all­ round cricketer. Tom Emmett, who is coacfr at Rugby, has formed a high estimate of his capacities as a batsman, and as he has plenty of power, there is every reason, we believe, that he will justify Emmett’s opinion. Whiteway, of Sedgbergh, contributed 45 in promising style, so that the pair were responsible for 91 out of 123 from the bat. As Mr. Wright’s side got the 34 wanted for the loss of one batsman they won with eleven wickets to spare. Pope and Corbett, on Mr. Wright’s side, were the most successful bowlers. The former’s six wickets in the first innings of Mr. Foljambe’s side cost 22 runs, Pope' seven in the second 46. The score is given below. M r . W r ig h t ’ s S id e . First Innings.

Home-bound—a breeze, Pine-scented, murmuring ’mid the trees; Home-bound, those two, at laggard pace (’Twixt Joy and swift-winged Time the race), Mingling their talk with hum of bees. Dwell they on “ singles,” “ twos,” or “ threes,” Or mighty hits of W .G.’s (Perchance her name is written “ Grace ” ), After the match ? I trow not. Little else he sees But her soft eyes—nay, only these ; And even if he’ s “ bagged a brace,” He careth not in present case. And so their footboy strolls at ease After the match. C.P.
