Cricket 1894

140 CRICKET: A WEEKLY BECORD OF THE GAME. MAY 17, 1894 THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF 1894. At M a r l b o r o u g h they have three old choices—Graham, Cheales, and Beloe, In addition there is Ainsworth, a good left- hand bowler, andSandford, an excellent bat, who will be of grfat use to the eleven. The School professional is A. Hide, who hasPar- menter, Young, Pink, and Smart to help him. C . C . Carter is captain at L ancin g C o l l e g e , and as he has only two old choices besides himself to rely on he will have rather a hard task togeb together an efficient eleven before the first match. E. H. Cave Browne - Cave and M. Cooper are the two other colours. The formfer, to a great extent, lost bis bowling last year. It is much to be hoped that he will regain it, as he and Carter will have to bear the brunt of the attack, though A. H . Goodall—slow left—who was tried last season, ought to get wickets if the ground is at all “ sticky.” Besides thcse three there does not at present seem to be much material. M. M. Knight might be useful with lobs, but R. V . Bostock and W. H. Follett are scarcely strong enough yet to do much hard work. In batting, Carter and Cooper should both make runs, and Cave might with care. Of the rest Maryon-Wilson, S. Luc is, T. Simpson, L. G. K. Edward, and Goodall are the most likely. A new wicket keeper is wanted for the team, and T. Fowler h a4 a reputation, though it is as je t too early to speak confidently as to his powers. Simpson also “ keeps.” The new ground is at present not quite ready for play in the centre, but when it has really settled down it promises to be second to very few, if any, school grounds. R o ssa ll have had two or three “ sides” games during the past ten days, and consider­ able promise was shown by several players, Cosdon (55) Whiston(54). Matthews (44 not out) and Phillips and Gibb (30 each),the latter not out. showing up best, whilst ten oth rs topped 20. Of the bowlers, Andrew.*, Matthews, and Whiston have done well. Andrews is quite up to last year’s form, whilst Whiston has taken a number of wickets. A junior, Adkins, has been un­ earthed and promises to make his mark as a bowler. The House Matches begin this week, and there is a heavy list of matches towards the end of June. There are five old colours back at R u g b y , T. N. Sample (capt.), D. Christopherson, W. E. Gowers, A. L. Alien, and P. W. Nickalls to wit. The prospects are fairly good, as in bowling the eleven should be strong, while there is plenty of batting talent in the twenty- two. Three professionals are engaged at the school under the supervision of that most genial of veterans Tom Emmett. The first match was on Tuesday against New College, Oxford. T o n b r id g e can hardly expect to have as strong an eleven as last year, since eight of t ie eleven have left— Bannon, the captain, Hubbard, Carlton, and Hilary (who was pre­ vented by ill-health from taking his place last year) remain; Bannon will be the mainstay of the eleven, as he was last year up to the present he has been absent from school. Hubbard is improving as a bats­ man, aud will be useful with the ball. Carlton will have to bear the brunt of the bowling. Hilary will be the same useful change bowler that he was two years ago, and ought to score well besides. Of the candi­ dates for the vacant places it is difficult to predict anything at present, but an oppor­ tunity will be given of testing their capabi­ lities next Wednesday, when they play against the second eleven of the town. However, we hope Camming wiil not dis­ appoint us this year, as he is showing good form as a batsman. Kennington promises well as a change bowler. Cosser is coming on both as a batsman and a bowler. Maw or Nicolas may fill the difficult post of wicket keeper. Rashleigh may be useful as a change bowler. The want is a promising batsman. Field shows signs of becoming a cricketer. Two or three others may work their way to the front. The professionals engaged are G. Webb (Kent), F. Needham (Notts), and W. Martin. W ARW ICKSH IRE v. KENT. The Warwickshire eleven secured their third consecutive victory of the season at Birming­ ham on Tuesday, when they defeated Kent with eight wickets to spare. This time War­ wickshire lost the toss, but Pallett’s bowling on the slow wicket puzzled a strong batting side of Kent to such an extent that the innings was over in less than an hour and three- quarters for 58 runs. With the ground to help him, Pallett did a remarkable performance. In 62 balls he dismissed seven batsmen at a cost of only 13 runs. When they went in to bat Warwickshire made a very bad start, losing five of their best batsmen for only 21 runs. Mr. Bainbridge, however, received useful assistance from Mr. Docker, and in a lesser degree from the later batsmen, so that the total after all reached 113. Mr. Bainbridge saw the whole side out. He might have been caught just before he had got fifty, but otherwise his innings was without a fault. With the wicket in better oider for rungetting on Tuesday, Kent, who had lost three batsmen overnight for 52, were seen to better advantage. Most of the later batsmen did fairly well, so that 105 were added by the seven outstanding wickets. Pallett 8gain bowled with success. This time he delivered forty-nine overs for sixty-five runs and six wickets. W ith 103 to win Warwick­ shire opened badly, losing Mr. Bainbridge and W. Quaife for twelve. W . G. Quaife however played carefully, while Diver scored all round with great freedom and in quite his best style. The result was that the runs were knocked off by the two batsmen, so that Warwickshire gained a brilliant victory. Walter Hearne took nine wickets for Ken" at a cost of ten runs apiece K e n t .
