Cricket 1895

140 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M ay 16, 1895 CRICKET AT CAMBRIDGE UN IVERSITY . CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY v. SOMERSET. Some excellent all-round cricket marked the first match of the University’s season, finished at Cambridge yesterday. Somerset, who were without Tyler, missed his bowling greatly, so much so, that they were fielding all the first day. The University’s innings, which lasted till a quarter past six o'clock, realised a total of 39U. Though seven of the eleven got double figures, just one half of the runs were made by one batsman. That bats­ man was F. Mitchell, who in three hours and a half scored 191. He played faultless cricket, and his strokes, particularly on the off side, were very full. Mindful of his remarkable performances in the early part of last season, it is hardly necessary to add that this brilliant performance has given the greatest satisfaction to cricketers of all classes. Among his hits were twenty-six fours. The only other innings of note was that of the captain, W. G. Druce, who was batting two hours and three quarters for his 67, and helped to put on 152 for the sixth wicket. On Tuesday, Lionel Palairet, who opened Somersetshire’s innings, was in his best form, and with useful assistance from the Colt, Slo- man, andRichardson, a Cambridge undergrad­ uate, 200 was at one time up with only three batsmen out. After Palairet’s dismissal, an extraordinary rot set in, and Wilson, last year’s Uppingham captain, bowled with such remarkable success that the total after all only reached 221. Wilson took seven wickets for 24 runs. Following on 169 to the badT Somersetshire made a different show, thanks to the brilliant hitting of the captain, R. Palairet, and Sloman, each in turn stayed, so little over sixty were added, and by the end of the day, 148 had been made for the loss of two wickets, of these Woods, who was not out, had contributed 104. Continuing yester­ day, A. G. Richardson, the Corpus freshman, who had done so well in the first hands, again played well, andWoods added 76 to his score, the county in the end setting the Cantabs 162 to win, which, thanks chiefly to Studd and N. F. Druce, they easily accomplished with seven wickets to spare. Score and analysis:— C ambridge U niversity BOWLING ANALYSIS. C ambridge U niversity . Nichols Bucknell W oods... L.

CORPUS COLLEGE v. EMMANUEL COLLEGE. The match between these two Colleges on Wednesday and Thursday of last week, merits reproduction in full from the mere fact that A. G. Richardson, a Freshman from Canter­ bury, accomplished the rare feat of scoring a hundred in each innings of Corpus. C orpus . J. A . Stevens, lbw, b Wetley ...................10 A. G.

It was splendid cricket weather on Tuesday, when Hornby andGrace commenced their task, and a capital days’ play was witnessed. There was no individual score larger than Attewell’s 43, but of the ten men who were out eight made double figures. Ver­ non and Grace played extremely well while to­ gether, and De Trafford was unfortunately run out after making his first decent score of the season. Attewell was batting 75 minutes for his 43, a patient innings, and the side were out for 197 leaving the county with the easy task of getting 63 to win. At 19, Wain­ wright was bowled by Martin, off whom no runs had to that point been scored, but Brown andMilligan, the latter thrice hitting Attewell for four in one over, soon settled matters, and the game came to an early termination, York­ shire winning by nine wickets. The Northerners will certainly be a very strong side especially when Messrs. Sellars, Jackson, Smith and Mitchell are able to assist. Score and analysis:— M.C.C. Mr. A. N.

Whilst large scores were being put on in first-class matches elsewhere, this game at Lord’s in its earlier stages gave little promise of good batting performances. The club was strong in bowling, but was short of first-rate batsmen. Nevertheless it was a fine perform­ ance on the part of the Yorkshire bowlers, of whom Peel had six wickets for less than ten runs apiece, to dismiss a side including Grace, De Trafford, Bean, and Vernon for 105 runs. On Yorkshire taking their turn at the wickets, Brown was soon out, and Woodcock fora time bowling in his best form it seemed as if the county would fare even worse than their oponents, five of the best wickets actually g o in g down for 23. Nor was this the worst, although Peel put a slightly better appearance on affairs by his valuable innings of 43, yet the seventh wicket fell at 78. Thun, how­ ever, the character of the cricket changed, for Moorhouse and Mounsey put on 61 for the eighth wicket, and the former and Hirst, 70 for the ninth partnership, the last three wickets of the Northerners realising 162 runs, thus giving the club a deficit of 135 runs to wipe off in the morning. The wicket had greatly improved as the afternoon wore on, and quite recovered from the effects of the In the second innings Brown scored not out 28, Wainwright, b Martin, 11, and Mr. F. W .

There was very little remarkable in this game, which, after three full afternoon’s play, resulted in a tie, in which Leveson- Gower’s side owed their position to G. J. Mordannt closing his second innings almost too soon. One of the hest displays was that of the old Etonian, W. E. Harrison, who followed up a not out 13 with a capital innings of 90. On each side there was some very fair batting, and E. Mortimer, who ran up a good 61, also bowled well in Mordaunt’s second innings. Like the Seniors’ match, this was played thirteen a side, In Leveson-
