Cricket 1894

APRIL 19, 1894 UBXCKET & WEEKLY EE COED OF THE SAME, 67 the opposition for the first four day3 of the Bickley Park week, commeLcing on July 16. The last two days are not as yet filled up, so hat the Club is open for a fixture against a ajtrcng club to wind up the week. Among ocher important matches may be mentioned those against Crystal Palace,Granville, Black­ heath, Esher, Beokenham, Richmond, Ton- bridge, and Esher. All the best players of last year will again be available. The teams will be ohosen by E. R. Bouch, A. Boosey, C. V. B. Davy, C. T. Boosey, T. P. Hilder, jun., W. B. Pattisson, A. S. Gedge, E. Fisher, and C. M. Baker. According to all appearances, B l a c k h e a t h is likely to have a very successful season. In the in'ervals of county cricket J. R. Mason will be at hand, and with E. A. Philcox, who will again be available, R. B . Stewart, and such old Parliamentary hands as Stanley Christopher- son and C. E. Horner there will certainly be no lack of bowling. Ronald, a promising player from Tonbridge School, is joining the club, and there are in addition several other youngsters who ought to be of great service. The principal fixtures are witl U.A., B.B., M.C.C., Authentics, Inoo(r,?a. and most of the leading suburbar clubs. Blackheath does not go in cither for a tour or a week. Stanley Clr/istopherson will captain the eleven when pia; mg, and in his absence the senior playing member of the committee will undertake the duties. "When we say that Malcolm Christopherson, the hon. seo., will as usual get up the various teams, nothing more is required to s_ ow that every effort will be used to make the s&ason success­ ful, from a cricket as well as a social stand­ point. The C r o y d o n C.C. has again a long list of fixtures, 74 in number. On April 28 and on most Saturdays in May, June, and July there will be three matches. Commencing on July 26, the club has a fortnight’s cricket at home, when matches will be played with, among other clubs, Tunbridge Wells, Burlington Wanderers, M.C.C. and Ground, Norwood, Peripatetics, Brixton Wanderers, and Addis­ combe. Besides the fortnight, there are day matches with the Erratics, Granville (Lee), London Ramblers, London County Asylum, Reigate Priory, Epsom,Crystal Palace, Hamp­ ton Wick and others. H. R. Groom has again been re-elected captain, and R. Archer captain of the second eleven, and both are sanguine as to the results of the season now opening. Of the new members, several already show very good form. F. Beaumon t and Murrell are the professional bowlers. E aling have undertaken a somewhat longer programme than heretofore, having arranged two matches on most Saturdays throughout the season, in addition to Wednesday fixtures. The match list is on much the same lines as hitherto, Henley, Wycombe, Surbiton, and Essex C. and. G. being the chief of the new home and home fixtures. F. A. Dangar’s Australian X I. occupies the August Bank Holiday. Ealing won this match last year for the first time since its institution, as, with the exception of one tie, the Australians have been victorious on each occasion. A new departure is made this year in the shape of a week’s tour in Devon, from August 20 and 25, when Sidmouth, Exmouth, and Torquay are antagonized. T. N. Tyndale has resigned the office of hon. treasurer, as he is leaving Ealing, and his place is filled by E. Jowitt. The hon. sec,, D. R. Dangar, having been absent in Australia during the winter, the fixtures have been made by A. Moritz, who has arranged what may fairly be considered the best card the club has yet had. Though the card of the H onor O ak C .C. is not quite as extensive aone as in 1893, the clubs ? P^aye(^.are somewhat stronger than those of the previous season. So far the club has neither instituted a week nor a tour. The executive reserve their efforts for Saturdays and Bank Holidays, with two whole-day matches in addition, and five evening matches, which latter prove very acceptable to members. Amongst the opponents of Honor Oak for the season are Surrey Club and Ground, Surrey Colts, Clapton, Leyton, Buck­ hurst Hill, Beckton, Champion Hill, Townley Park, Brixton Wanderers, London and West­ minster Bank, Balham, and Thames Ditton. With much the same strength as usual, the executive are looking forward to a very successful season. Several of the old hands, indeed, have already given promise of being in form, whilst there are one or two new members who will undoubtedly prove an acquisition to the club. INTERCOLONIAL MATCH. SOUTH AUSTRALIA v. VICTORIA. The nineteenth intercolonial match between South Australia and Victoria, plajed on the Adelaide Oval on March 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, ended, after an exceedingly interesting game, in favour of South Australia, by 58 runs. The weather was splendid from start to finish and the wicket wore very well, although one end crumbled on the fourth day. bplendid attendances—in fact the best on record for intercolonial matches — were present every day. Giffen won the toss, and on the first day the South Australians lost 4 wickets for 290. On the following day the rest of the wickets tumbled, and the innings closed for 316. Reedman and Darling played n first-class style and Dyer batted well. Before stumps were drawn the Viotorians lost 7 wickets for 200. The inniogs soon cl'jsed on March 5 for 222. Harry played the best innings for the Victorians, but Stuckey and Laver also batted well. Again a fine start was made by the South Australians, 4 wickets falling for 244. Lyons batted brilliantly and Giffen played in his best style. On the following day again the tail end utterly collapsed, and the Victorians, who had expected to face over 400, had to make 371 to win. Hill having been inj ured, the South Australians suffered through having no wicket-keeper, the batsmen running out to hit the bowling with impunity. Only 3 wickets fell for 229. Then on March 7 came the finish. Jones began sensationally by bowling Laver, C. McLeod, and Walters in four balls. R. McLeod and Lewis made a stand, but directly after luncheon Jones finished the match by bowling Lewis and Carlton with successive balls. His bowling was terribly fast and a splendid length. The South Australians fielded splendidly, par­ ticularly Jones and Scrymgour, and beyond the faulty wicket-keeping, only one mistake was made. By winning this match South Australia obtains the right to hold the Shef­ field shield for twelve months. S outh A ustralia , First Innings. Second Innings. J. J. Lyons, b C. McLeod ... 21 c R.
