THUBSDAY AUGUST IG th , 1894 J ja b iK f f n f c s t j i , abstract and brief dbzonlola of th« time.— __________ _________________ M om ltt, T hough not until the season is on the verge of completion, Brockwell has at last been asked by Mr. Stoddart to form one of the team he is to take to Australia next month. Still, in spite of the inexplicable delay—inexplicable for the reason that the Surrey player has been from the very commencement of the season, not only the most successful batsman, but also as he was last year quite one of the best all­ round cricketers—the publio will be glad to learn that Brockwell has not only been asked but accepted the invitation, to go to Australia this winter. A player of his physique is quite the right sort to do English orioket, as well as himself, j ustioe on Australian grounds. T he Granville Club of Lee, now on tour in Sussex, defeated Eastbourne last Saturday in very fashion, mainly through the exception­ ally fine bowling of F.G.Bull. That promising cricketer,who took five wickets in Eastbourne s first innings for ten runs, quite outdid even that good performance when the local team went in a second time. In that innings he actually secured the whole ten wickets at a oost of only sixteen runs. This made his full recoid for the match, fifteen wickets for twenty-six runs—a bowling achievement I should say very hard to beat. Bull is quite a youngster, not yet nineteen years of age in fact. He has great command of the ball, with a break both ways, and when the wicket helps him is almost unplayable. On Saturday the majority of the Eastbourne eleven were quite powerless against him, and at one time he dismissed seven batsmen, inoluding more than one of considerable local repute, for seven runs. C r ic k e t “ as she is wrote ” in Chicago is not without its humo rous tide. At least some of the newspapers there evidently have a funny man in oharge of the cricket department. An old C k icb e t reader, none other in fact tban J G. Davis, who will be well-remembered as once an aotive member of the Charlton Park Club, sends me a copy of the Chicago Record of July 26th, containing a speoial account from their Toronto representative of the play in 1he match between the Toronto Club and the Gentlemen of Philadelphia on the previous day. Speaking of the visitors’ play, the Special says it “ was replete with features.” So it must have been, to judge from the sentence that follows, whioh I reproduce verbatim et lilte r- atim . “ Balston made eight runs off one hit, and Brewster did what cricketers call the cat trick, taking fo u r wi:kets fo r three balls.'' The play indeed must have been “ replete with features." The cat triok will be quite a new study for cricketers.
