T H U R S D A Y AUGU ST 23 kd , 1894 fainKm? <&0ss% g&» tb«trust and bri«f sitmmioi* of th . time.— _________ ____________________ ______ Samlfe A l e c H e a e n e was the unfortunate cause, perhaps I should say the innocent victim , of a cricket curio of a peculiar kind, in the match between Surrey and Kent, at the Oval on Tuesday. It was in this wise. Opening the batting eaoh tim e for Kent, he was bowled by Lockwood in both cases with the first ball of the innings. F or a batsman to be bowled with the first ball of the innings twice in a match, and by the same bowler, is something of a rarity in the way of cricket coincidences. T iie Norwood Club has found salvation'this summer in the batting of A . P . R oe. His performances for N orwood, in any oase, are worthy of, to use the expressive phrase of the counter, “ a special line,” in C b ic k e t . The following list gives details of the twelve inniDgs he has p la y e d :— May 5—v. Carshalton ................. ................... £9 May 12- v. A d d iscom be.......................................... 4 May 1 9-v. Kenley .................................................. 68* May 20-v . N orthbrook .......................................... 12 June 2—v. Forest Hill .......................................... 8 June 9—v. S u rbiton .................................................. 45 June 16—v. Caterham .......................................... 43* June 28—v. Spencer .................................................. 72* June 30—v. Sarbiton.................................................. 46* July 7—v. Addiscomfce .......................................... 0 August 11—v. Spencer .......................................... 98 August 18—v. Northbrook .....................................113* Total .......................................537 As the above will show, he has been five times not out, so that his average for seven com ­ pleted innings is 76.5. GOLF AND C R ICKE T. A R e p ly t o P. H . Golf and Cricket, games of skill, Nerve and brave endurance, E ye to judge, undaunted will, Cool and strong assuranoe. W rists of iron, shoulders strong, Muscles in full tension, Ball sent truly straight along, Aptest comprehension. If T>e make our men true men, That is oricket’s g lory; Trained to quick decision then, Let foes tell the story, And if golf aspire to share The honours of the willow, Teaoh men brave assaults to dare, Or rule the raging billow : W hy should we be jealous, say ? W ere not the Frenohmen beaten By training in the m im ic fray On the playing-fields of Eton. Boldoourage, strength, and swift decision, Trained eye and iron nerve ; These are a Britisher’s ambition, These Sport will e’er preserve. Whether from tee or bunker driven W ith shoulders opened for the smite, W hether by cleek or brassey given The vigorous impulse to the fligh t. Or whether, opposed to ourly twist, The wary batsman drives the sphere, And with the play of practised wrist Makes the proud oentury appear. B y whatsoever game of skill, The youth of England learns that she Expects that every Briton will H is duty do on land or sea ; L et us with open minds that fit The sportsmen who are really such. Applaud full generously the hit From tee or crease, or kick to touch ; N ot rear foul envy's evil brood On cricket-field or putting-lawn. The games are brothers, never should Brother’s flag be by brothers torn. Ih e n hand in hand to self-same end, Bat, ball, and stumps, niblick and cleek, Let friend encounter manly friend, In playing fields true training seek. And healthy Sport for e'er proolaims, No envy foul shall come between Cricket, which is the K ing of Games, And lusty Gplf, the orowned Qneen. W . C. P.
