Cricket 1894

270 ©EK3KET § A WEEKLY BE COED OF TE ® SAME ; JULY 26, 1894 THE SONG OF THE BALL. From the Pall Mall Gazette. Leather—the heart o’ me, leather—the rind o’ me, O but the soul o’ me’s other than that! Else, should I thrill as I do so exultingly Climbing the air from the thick o’ the bat ? Leather the heart o’ me : aye, but in verity Kindred I claim with the sun in the sky. Heroes, bow all to the little red ball, And bow to my brother ball blazing on high. Chorus —Pour on us torrents of light, good sun, Shine in the hearts of my cricketers, shine, Fill them with gladness and might, good sun, Touch them with glory, 0 brother of mine, Brother of mine, Brother of m ine! W e are the lords of them, brother and mate, I but a little ball, thou but a great! Give me the bowler whose fingers embracing me Tingle and throb with the joy of the game, One who can laugh at a smack to the boundary, Single of purpose and steady of aim, That is the im in for m e; striving in sym ­ pathy, Ours is a fellowship sure to prevail. Willow must fall in the end to the ball-- See, like a tiger I leap for the b a il! Chorus. Give me the fieldsman whose eyes never stray from me, Eager to clutch me, a roebuck in pace; Perish the unalert, perish the buttery, Perish the laggard I strip in the race, Grand is the ecstacy soaring triumphantly, Holding the gaze of the meadow is grand, Grandest of all to the soul of the ball Is the finishing grip of the honest brown hand. Chorus. Give me the batsman who squanders his force on me, Crowding the strength of his soul in a stroke; Perish the muff and the little-tin-Shrewsbury, Meanly contented to potter and poke. He who would pleasure me, he must do doughtily,— Bruises and buffetings stir me like wine. Giants, come all, do your worst with the ball, Sooner or later you’ re mine, sirs, you’ re C h o ru s — P o u r on u s to r r tn ts o f lig h t, g o o d sun, Shine in the hearts of my cricketers, shine, Fill them with gladness and might, good sun, Touch them with glory, O brother of mine, Brother of mine, Brother of mine I W e are the lords of them, brother and mate, I but a little ball, thou but a great!

A fter having altogeth er the w orst o f th e first part o f the gam e in th eir return m atch, *egun on T hursday at L eicester, the L eicestersh ire eleven played up so w ell th a t tlir gam e ended after all ia their favour. T h e w icket at th e outset show ed tra ces of the recen t rainfall, and L eicestershire, w h o w on the toss, w ere out in tw o hours fo r a sm all total o f 95. H olla n d w ent in first and w as n o t ou t at th e close o f the innings. E is 46 (not ou t) w as the on ly d ou ble figure on the side, and as a display of w atch fu l and, on occasion , free cricket w as w orthy o f th e highest praise, burrey, w ith tw o short in terruptions from rain, occu pied the w ickets fo r th e rest o f the day. T h e com m en ce­ m en t w as none to o prom ising, and in spite o f som e good cricket b y L o ck w o o d h a lf th e side w ; re out fo r 66 L o ck w o o d , w h o had played exceedingly w ell, w ith M r. K ey added 29, and then the form er w as caught, to be follow ed 8ix runs later b y B ald­ w in. H ayw ard and M r. K ey, how ever, w ore down th e L eicestersh ire bow lers steadily, and 84 had been added w ith b oth batsm en still in w hen play ceased fo r th e day. On F riday m crn in g w itn eleven added M r. K ey and H ayw ard were b o th d sm issed, and after M arshall had m ade fou r th e innings closed fo r 200. Mr. K ey and H ayw ard had pu t on 95 fo r th e eighth w icket in an h ou r and a h a lf, and by excellen t cricket. M r. K ey w as in ju st tw o hours fo r his 80, a ca p ital display o f free battin g. P ough er’s figures w ere particu larly n ote­ w orthy. H e took eight o f the ten w ickets at a cost o f five runs apiece. In a m in ority o f 105 L eicester­ shire began their secon d innings badly, losing Mr. D e T rafford and H olland fo r on ly fifteen runs. A fte r this thin gs w ent w ell w ith them . M istakes in the field gave T om lin tw o lives, and w ith his v ieorou s crick et and useful assistance from M r. H illyard, Mr. R u d d, and W alton th e total eventu­ ally reached 174. E xcep tin g L ock w ood the Surrey bow ling, w ith R ich ard son away, w as only m oder­ ate. L ock w ood ’s six w ickets cost 54 runs. O f these he took five, a fter going on a 'secon d tim e, in fou r­ teen overs fo r 23 runs. W ith 70 to w in Surrey’s victory seem ed to b e assured. A s it was, A t el and B rockw ell, th e first tw o batsm en, w ere soon dis­ m issed, and a nasty blow on th e arm fro m Mr. B illyard caused M aurice R ead, th e only batsm an w h o had shaped w ell, to retire hurt. A fter this noth in g w ent right w ith them , and, in fact, the la ter batsm en m ade such a sorry show that w hen th e last w icket fell the total w as on ly 35. L eices­ tershire w ere thus left w ith a very fine v ictory by 34 runs. M r. H illyard’s bow ling at th e finish w as very deadly. H e dism issed five batsm en at a cost o f on ly eighteen runs. In the m atch P ough er to o k eleven Surrey w ickets for 57 runs. L e ic e st e r sh ir F irst Innings. M r. C.
