Cricket 1894

266 UIBiOlLETs A WEEKLY BECORC OF THE SAME, JULY 19, 1894 which Lord Byron took part, and which was certainly not a match between two elevens of Harrow and Eton in statu pupillari at the time. Omitting both the disputed games, those of 1605 and 1857, out of the account, last week’s feature may be fairly taken as the sixty-eighth annual match between the schools. Of these Harrow has won 29, Eton 27, and twelve have been drawn B u t to leave contentious matter and deal with things whioh concern all interested in public schools or amateur cricket generally. Harrow, will, as far as I can hear, retain Stogdon, but will lose six of the eleven which represented it at Lord’s last week. J. H. Bulloch, the captain, goes up to Tiioity College, Cambridge, A. H. W. Bentinck and F. Symes-T. ompson to Oxford, the former to Balliol, the latter to Christchuroh. J. L. Fisher, who is goiDg into the Army, C. D. Williams, and J. Bradshaw are the other three who are leavirg. T h ough he had not represented Sussex prior to Monday, Mr. R. W. Kentfield was not then new to County crioket. He was tried foi the young players of Sussex both in 1886 and '87, but apparently did little to impress the authorities at Brighton. The cricket fathers of Lancashire, though, must have had a better opinion of him about that time, for he repre­ sented that county four times in 1888, under the residential qualification, and with fair guooess as a batsman as well as a bowler. He was born at Bognor, so that he has a perma­ nent qualification for Sussex. He bowls, I may add, left-hand medium pace.

P la y w as only p ossib le fo r an hour and five m inu tes on M onday, and in that sh ort tim e, Sussex did w ell, under the circu m stan ces, to score 73 fo r th e loss o f B ean and M arlow . A s w as to be expected, the w ick et helped the bow lers on T u esday to such a degree in fact, th a t the th irty w ickets w h ich fell during th e day on ly produ ced 254 runs. M essrs. M u rdoch and N ew ham , w ho w ere n ot ou t overnight, added eleven, bu t a fter th eir separation Mr. B ath u rst and H earne carried everyth in g before them , and th e last six rem aining batsm en on ly added 37, o f w h ich P arris claim ed 12.

F ord ’s dism issal eight w ickets fell fo r 32. Mr. K entfield, a left-h an d m edium p a ce bow ler took six w ickets, like Mr. B ath arst, and at m u ch the sam e cost. Sussex, w’h o had a lead o f 30 runs o n the first innings, began m ost disastr usly in their second, and h a lf the side w ere out fo r on ly fifteen. Mr. A rlington, m issed before he h a d scored, how ever, im proved th e appearance fo r Sussex b y som e lively hitting, and as B u tt and Shaw , the last B atsm en, added 17, the tbt'al eventually reached 65 Mr. BathU tst b ow led w ith even greater success than in the first innings. In the m a tch he took tw elve w ickets fo r 63 runs, an excellent perform a n ce even as the w icket was. W ith 98 to w in, M i dlesex, thanks to the free hit­ ting o f M essrs.

W hen play did teg in ion T uesday, too, th e result w as som e rem arkable cricket,w ith in th e resu lt an easy v icto ry fo r L a n ­ cashire before th e day w as over. S om ersetshire, w h o w on the toss, w ent in first, w ith a com p lete failure, w h ich even on th3 slow w ick et cou ld never h ave been expected. M e?srs. P alairet and E ldon opened the batting,and sixteen had been got before the latter w as bow led. Tliis, as events proved, w as th e com m en cem en t o f an extraordinary run o f success fo r M old. W ith three su ccessive balls he g ot rid o f th e b roth e s P alairet and C aptain H edley. N or was this all, as after M essrs. F ow ler and H ill had fallen to B riggs h e g ot three w ickets in an over, bow lin g N ich o'ls and M r. E van s w ith the first and secon d balls and T yler w ith the fourth. T he score at th e fa ll o f th e ninth w icket w as 21, and a f er M essrs. W ood s a n d W ickh am had added ten, the innings, w hich had lasted on ly fifty m inutes, ca m e t o an end. M old’s figures w ill speak fo r them selves. A s w ill b e seen, in forty-five b alls he took seven w ickets fo r ten runs. B esides th e h a t trick, h e took three m ore w icke s in fou r balls. B a ttin g o f quite a different ch aracter w as seen w hen L ancashire w ent in. M r. M cL aren w as ou t at 19, bu t Sugg, w ho follow ed, h it in his m ost resolute style In a little over an hour he added 133 run s in con ju n c­ tion w ith Sm ith, and o f these Sugg’s share w as 105. H e ought to have t een caught tw ice a fter he had m ade seventy, b u t none the less his innings w as a rem arkable display o f fearless and resolute h it­ ting. ju st suited to -t h e w icket. S m ith w as in altogether an h ou r a nd three-quarters fo r his 50, an invaluable in n iog s w ithout a ch an ce. B aker h it freely, but a fter his dism issal th e end soon cam e, the last three w ickets only adding six ru n s. Som ersetshire, w ho w ere 200 behind, did n ot begin their second in nings in very prom ising style, in spite o f som e g ood . crick-1 b y th e brothers P alairet H a lf the side w ere ou t f o r e * , w hen M r.

Mr. F ow ler follow ed im m ed iately, and then th e end soon cam e, on ly nin e run s being added after M r. P alairet’s retirem ent. M old again bow led w ith great success. H is figures fo r th e m atch show ed thirteen w ickets fo r 60 runs, a very rem arkable perform ance.
