Cricket 1893

58- CBICEET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF -THE GAME; APRIL 13,1893 the position should be a distinct advantage to the eleven, and his experience as well as his personal influence should tend to the general well being o f his side. The Granville C.C. has generally had one or more County players, past or present, in its eleven. W ith the Captain as well as A. S. Johnston, who scored very heavily for them last year, and other useful all­ round players, there should be no lack of good cricket in the team. T h e AdelaideObserver gives an interest­ ing illustration of the way in which cricket ability runs in families, as the Graces, the Walkers, the Lytteltons, the Studds, and others have shown in England. A ccord­ ing to the Observer , there can be turned out in Australia by three families strong elevens, each of which is well known in connection with South Australian cricket. They are the^Hills, the Chittleboroughs, and the Leaks. The Leak fam ily seems to give rise to some little confusion. There are three Fred Leaks playing cricket. The eldest, the well-known city missionary, a real good man in his day, and still very fond of the game ; his son Fred of the M iddlesex; and his nephew, F. N., of the Basket Ranges, and late of the Adelaides. They could raise a good team from F. Leak, F. N. Leak, W . H . Leak, E. Leak, S. Leak, H . Leak, H . Leak, R. Leak, D. Leak, E. Leak, and F. Leak. The first five have at different times scored their centuries. This last season Ern. Leak (a son o f F. Leak) put up 109, 113, and 103*, S. Leak scored 197, and F. N. Leak 109 and 102, and as to the averages Ern. Leak’s is 94.2 for ten innings (three not out), S. Leak’s 60 for ten innings (five not out), F. N. Leak’s 60.7 for 13 innings (three not out), Fred. Leak, ju n ’s 28 for six innings, and W . K. Leak’s 26 for two innings. Besides, in bowling, Fred. Leak has taken 47 wickets for 97 runs, average 2.3; F. N. Leak, 47 wickets for 203, aver­ age 5.8 ; and S. Leak nine wickets for 86, average 9.5. Matches between the Leaks, Chittleboroughs, and H ills would be interesting. THE GLOUCESTERSHIRE COLTS’ MATCH. In this annual match, begun on the County ground at Bristol on Easter Monday (April 3) and concluded on the following day, the advantage was all on the side of the Eleven. The Colts, who went in first,with one exception only made a moderate show against the bowling of Messrs. W. G. Grace and Ferris. The exception was Healing, of Clifton College, who made 42 of 114 from the bat. Thongli he was let off twice early in the innings, his batting showed undoubted promise. Nor was the Colts’ bowling of a much higherorder. W. G. was soon dismissed, and Messrs. Radcliffe and E.M. also gave little trouble. Mr. Rice, however, set the side a good example, and as most of the later batsmen scored freely the result was a total of 295. In their second innings, though Sainsbury played carefully for his 28, and Carter got 26, the batting of the Colts presented few features of real interest. The game in the end showed a majority for the eleven of an innings and 35 runs. One of the best features of the matoh was the bowling of Mr. Ferris. Altogether his figures showed nineteen wickets for 81 runs, T bk C olts . First Innings. E. 4.P.Sainsbury, c Board, b Ferris ........... ...........10 C. Butt, c E. M.

The Eastertide Colts match on the Trent Bridge Ground this year, it is to be feared, has not had the effect of introducing any youngsters of special merit to the notice of the County Club. Though the Twenty-two in­ cluded several by no meaus inexperienced professionals, their all round cricket was, on the whole, very disappointing. The chief cause for satisfaction, indeed, was in the excellent show of the eleven. When they went in to bat,Shrewsbury and Gunn offered a lengthy resistance to the mediocre bowling opposed to them. Before they were parted 116 runs bad been made, and as-itf Was, as often happens after a long stand, both followed in quiok succession, in this case in the same over. Shrewsbury’s 62 was a par­ ticularly good innings, anfl every one will be glad to see him open the season in such promising form Towards the end of the inn­ ings, Daft and Mee were both seen to advan­ tage. The latter showed that on oocasion he can bat as well as bowl. In the second inn­ ings the Colts made even a worse show. Flowers’ bowling wasf altogether too much for them, and except Pscroft, Wilkinson, and Cadoney no one shaped in any form. In the end the Eleven won by an innings and 63 runs. Flowers, as will be seen, bowled with signal success in the match. Altogether he took 19 wickets, at an average cost of just over four runs. T h e T w e n t y -T w o . First Innings. Second Innings.
