Cricket 1894

JULY 19, 1894 CRICKET s A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 267 ETON v. HARROW. T he con tin u ou s r jin during th e earlypart o f Friday had saturated the tu rf at L o rd ’s so thoroughly that it w as n ot p ossib ’e to com m en ce the S ch ool m atch o f the year till the follow ing m orning. T he con sequ en t lim itation o f the cricket to one day m ade the ch an ces o f a definite result very rem ote, and though the gam e extended from 10.30 till seven o ’clo ck on Saturday, the certain ty o f a draw deprived the m atch o f m ost of its interest. As the w icket w as, the toss w as o f cotsid era ble im portance, and H arrow , w h o w ere fortunate enough to get the ch oice o f innings, naturally w ent in first. T hanks, too, to a little lu ck they m ade an excellent start, the telegraph at on e tim e show ing fifty runs w ith only on e w icket dow n. Stog­ don,w h ) w as in an hour and a quarter, th e ssm e tim e as V ibart, played the b est crick et of the innings, th ou gh h e gave one chance. A fter a tim e, though, the g rou n d began to help th e ball, and Cunliffe, a left-hand bow ler, proved so saccessful. th a t the later batsm en, excepting Bradshaw, w ho knocked up 16 ou t o f -22. on ly helped to raise the total to 129. In spite o f som e exce len t cricket by P ilking­ ton, E ton on ly m ade a m oderate start, and half the side w ere ou t fo r 56, o f w h ich H lk in gton had con tribu ted 33. C uoliffc and L u bb ock , b y c ic k e t of a very different kind, how ever, gave another appearance to the gam e. F orty-on e had been added w hen L u bb ock , w ho had been in an hour and a h a lf, w as caught, and after K ettlew ell and T . W . P ilkin gtoa had been dism issed, Cunliffe w as stum ped fur an excellent score o f thirty, m ade in a little under an hour and a h alf. Still, though a g ood stand w as m ade b y the last batsm en, M itchell and B aird, E ton ju st failed to reach H arrow 's total b y tw o runs. As th e second in nings o f H arrow did n ot begin till 5 30, and co n ­ sequently on ly an h ou r and a h a lf rem ained for play, a draw n gam e w as assured. Still Cunliffe and P ilkin gton b ow led their very b est, and, sup­ ported b y excellen t fielding, E ton succeeded in dism issing their opponents fo r 80 ju st before tim e w as up. S togdon w as the on ly batsm an to get dou ble figures, and his aggregate o f 51 for the m atch w as a lon g w ay th e best on the H arrow side. T h e result w as, as already stated, a draw, and E ton w ould have had to m ake 83 to w in if a fou rth innings had been possible. T h e fielding of H a rrow w as better than that o f E ton , and in w icket-keeping they also had an advantage, B u l­ lo ch being superior to B aird. T h e best all-round crick et o f th e m atch, though, w as show n t y C un­ liffe and P ilkin gton. C unliffe bow led w ith great success, takiDg altogether thirteen w ickets in the m atch fo r 91 runs. S till P ilkin gton struck us as the better cricketer. H is five w ickets cost 5t runs, b u t h is b attin g created a very favourable im pres­ sion and w e shall be greatly surprised if he does n ot turn ou t to be a first-class cricketer. T he P rin cess o f W ales, h er daughter the P rincess V ictoria, and the D uke o f Y ork w ere present for som e little tim e on Saturday afternoon. H arrow , fir s t Innings. R . F .

Seven w ickets w ere then dow n, and, thanks to th e vigorous hitting of Mr. H ill, and som e useful crick et by T yler and M r. E van s, 35 w ere added on th e follow ing m orning.

A fter th e latter’s dism issal, G unn continued to play in m asterly style, and w hen play ceased on F riday night, he w as still in, w ith the t o iil 210 fo r nine w ickets On S aturday m orning M ee added three ou t o f tw elve a n d w as then caught so th a t G ur.n w as n ot ou t at the close o f th e innings G oin g in first w icket dow n he h a d seen the w h ole to ta l of 222 scored.
