Cricket 1894

MAY 10, 1894 CRICKET : A WEEKLY .TtECOED OF THE GAME. 128 THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF 1894. W e st m in st e r S ch o o l . — The prospects at Westminster for the coming season seem fairly good. There are four old Pinks left—J. F. More (capt.), C D. Fisher, A. R Severn, and A. Whit tow. The batting should be good if More, Severn, and Fi«her play up io their form, and there is plenty of material to fall back on. Fisher and Whittow are two good bowlers, and there are besides plenty of changes. Altogether the outlook is decidedly hopeful. The lost plac* s will be very hard to fill. The School played its first match against Lo ds and Commons on Saturday, May 5, after only one day's practice,and were defeated by an innings and 3 runs. Westminster went in first, but only made 58, J. More and Robertson getting 12 and 10 not out respec- ti\ely. The visitors replied with 143, Went­ worth and Lord Willoughby playing well for 43 and 3*2respectively, while Bromlev Daven­ port hit hard for 19. At the School’s second venture,Moon and R. More were the only ones to get into double figures, the foi mer making a careful 17, ani the latter a fine innings of 43, which included a 5 and two 4’s. The t tal eventually realise 1 8*2. Moorhouse b -wled splendidly for the visitors, getting thirteen wickets for 49 runs. Fisher, six for 42 ; Wl.ittow, three for 21; and J. More, two for 14, bowled best for the school.

The proceedings were invested with more than usual interest, owing to the recent elevation of Essex to the rank of a first-class county. The chairman reported that the M.C.C. had appointed the whole of the Essex County professionals grouudmen at Lord’s. His allusion to the meeting held at the head-quarters of cricket, when it was decided ttat Essex should rank as a fi'st-class county, also elicited loud cheers. He hoped that now the sport-loving community of the home county would come to the fore, and by supporting the cT.ub, prove that Essex was not to be Jeft behind. The report and balance sheet were adopted. In the evening a dinner was held in the Pavilion, also under the presidency of Mr. C. E, Green. SURREY v. WARWICKSHIRE. Fresh from their victory over Notts the Warwickshire eleven appeared at the Oval, on Monday last, to commence their second match of the season. The only difference in their team was the substitution of Santall, who made his first appearance for the County, for Mr. H. G. Hill. Surrey, too, except for the absence of Mr. J. Shuter, was well represen­ ted. Further the wicket was in excellent order, so that the match took place under the most favourable conditions. Though they won the toss, the commencement of War­ wickshire’s innings did not give any indi­ cations of a large score. Four of the test batsmen were out for 57, of which Mr. Bainbridge had contributed 34. Some excellent cricket by the younger Quaife and Mr. Hill changed the aspect of the game materially. Of the 72 added during the partnership the amateur was credited with exactly one half, the result of free and stylish batting, with one rather difficult chanced Quaife, who had gone in second wicket down at 19, was out eighth wicket at 234. He was in altogether three hours and a quarter for his 92. He watched the ball carefully, and his play, particularly on the Ug-side, was very Kood. After a time, too, 1e showed no small freedom, and with the exception of ore chance thfre was nothing to mar a most creditable exhibition of cricket. Surrey’s show when their turn came to bat was no better than their out crioket had been. Abel, who went in first, scored very freely at the outset, and forty wan up with only Hayward out. Abel unluckily played on nineruns later, and then things went so badly with the Surrey batsmen, mainly through Whitehead’s bowling, that at the finish of play on Monday six wiokets were down for eighty-two. On Tuesday morning, too, Whitehead bowled with great success, and in half an hour the four outstanding batsmen were dismissed for an addition of only sixteen runs. Surrey were thus out for the small total of 98, a result due chiefly to the effective medium fast bowling of Whitehead, who took eight wickets for 49 runs. Being in a minority of 144 runs, Surrey had, of course, to follow on, and again they fared badly,losing half the sideforonly 43 runs. The imminent danger of an innings victory for Warwickshire was, however, removed by the stand of Maurice Read and Mr. Key. Both batsmen played well, and 44 runs had been added in half-an-hour when a piece of really bad luck dismissed Read. He had backed up for a very hard hit by the amateur to mid off, and was unable to get back before his wicket vas put down, the ball having been well stopped and returned by Mr. Hill. With Brockwell as his partner Mr. Key continued to bat in his best style, and runs came fast. Some of the amateur’s off hits were particular­ ly fine, and he seemed to be in for a big score, when in trying to get one round, he was bowled. His sixty were got in exactly an hour, and among the chief hits of an admirable innings were three five’s and seven four’ s. At the finish Richardson hit freely, and when he was out the innings closed for 207. Brockwell carried out his bat for an excellent 49, the result of an hour and a half’s batting. This time Santall, who bowls fast, was the most successful bowler. He varied his pace with judgment besides keeping an excellent length, and for a first appearance and on a good wicket his perform­ ance was one of great promise. With 64 to win Warwickshire started so badly that three wiokets were down for 25. A chance by Mr. Bainbridge was allowed to escape, or the result might have been closer. As it was, the Captain and Law soon knocked off the remaining runs, bo that Warwickshire were left with a very creditable victory by seven wickets. W a r w i c k s h ir e . — F irst Innings.
