Cricket 1893

180 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OE THE GAME. MAI? 18, 1893 of the attack on that occasion was limited to three balls, but each dismissed a bats­ man, Morley being run out off the third. Though he represented the University in 1883 against Lancashire, it was not until 1885 that he really had a chance of appearing in the eleven. That season he was in great run- getting form, and three centuries were credited to him in seven days in inter-college matches. Still, he was out of luck in the matter of getting his “ blue,” which he would in all probability have obtained had he not been severely handicapped by a bad foot. Vlthough several times asked in 1882 and two f jllowing seasons to play for Sussex, Q.roumstances prevented his acceptance of the invitation. Since then up to last year he has helped the county off and on occasionally, and wiGh great success, e.g. against Yorkshire in 1390, when he took live wickets for 21 runs Taking his degree in 1885 he became an assistant master at the Philberds, where he was invaluable as well in the football as in the cricket team. Having meanwhile taken unto himself a wife in 1889, he took over Audley House School, Lee, and with the best results both in work and athletics, to judge by his in­ creasing responsibilities. Space will nob allow an enumeration of the many clubs he has helped by his excellent all-round wicket of late years. It will be enough to mention that at different times he has done good service to Hastings, South Saxons, Tonbridge Wells, Sidmouth, Inoogniti, Horsham, Winchester, Wokingham, Surbiton, and Brighton. His general record will best be shown by the fact that since 1881in club cricket he has taken over 2,500 wickets and made over 13,000 runs. In all he has scored twenty-four centuries, and three times taken all ten wickets, once eleven out of twelve. Even in his early days he was quite oneof the fastest bowlers iu England, aud on one occasion in a match between Magdalen College School and Hertford College he sent a bail a distance of 59 yards. His best per­ formance in the way of scoring was in 18->7, in the first Hastings Week. Flaying for H. Pigg’s eleven against Hastings, he helped E. Matheson to add 191 runs, which were made in forty-eight minutes, giving a rate of 238 runs in the hour. The two mist curious incidents the Granville captain has witnessed while playing cricket are (1) Playing for The Lindens v. Hastings in July, 1885, H. Pigg was batting and God­ frey himself at short slip. The latter appealed for a catch at the wicket, and simultaneously the wicket keeper appealed for stumping. The bowler’s umpire (Foster) gave Pigg out, and some time after, the scorer asking Foster how Pigg was out, the latter replied lbw!! In this case Pigg was out of his ground to the stump, though the short leg umpire gave not out! not hearing previous appeal for a catch, in which case he should have waited for the first appeal to be decided. There was no doubt that the ball hit the bat and was a patch, though Foster gave lbw for a previous hit on the knee,which no onenoticed, and would not nave given the catch out. So both umpires were mistaken re catch and stump, but Foster sawwhat others did not. (2) F. W. Stratford was fielding as a sub for East Sussex at St. Leonards, against the Nondeseripts, though really playing for the latter. Within fifteen minutes from the start of play he caught at mid-off wi h his left hand, off precisely similar strokes off the same bowler, the three firstmen. As far as Godfrey remembers, they were three of the brothers Ford. (3) Last summer, in a match at Catford—Granville v. Panther—one of the latter hit a ball back, which struck his partner, and mid off naught it. The injured man retired for on », so two men got out off one ball. But C. J. M. Godfrey’sclaim to distinction in athletics takes a wider range than cricket alone; In his time he has represented Sussex under both codes of football, though perhaps better known at the Association game as a member of the Berks and Bucks eleven from 1885 to 1888. At the Magdalen College School Sports in 1881, he threwthe cricket ball 114 yards. In the following year he also landed the same prize at the Oxford University sports with a throw of 108 yards.
