Cricket 1895

22o CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 27, 1895 mary loose ones. This fact he attributes to the colder climate of England and to the winds, which cause stiffness in the muscles of the arm. Nevertheless, both with ball and bat, Phillips has often been of great service to Middlesex, and as an all-round man there are fewmore reliableprofessionals in themetropo­ lis. Last year he accompanied Mr. Stoddart’s team throughout their tour in Australia, acting as assistant manager and umpiring, and his duties were so satisfactorily carried out that he has been asked to travel in the same capacities with the next English team that visits Australia. Nor is he quite free from literary entanglements, inasmuch as he was the special correspondent with the team for our contemporary The Sportsman, and also was special telegraphic correspondent for Reuters agency for all matches. In each case he was very gratified to receive full expression of the satisfaction of his chiefs. It may not be impossible that in the future Mr. Phillips will give to the world, in book form, an account of his varied and world-wide experiences, and it would be difficult to know who could have a fuller and more particular knowledge of the ins and outs of the game. One little piece of intelligence which my informant tells me is “ exclusive,” is that he is now studying photography under the supervision of Mr. R. W. Thomas of Cheap- side, so that if the above suggestion should ever become a fact, the volume might be illustrated from photographs taken by the author, which would just suit such a “ whole- hog man ” as Phillips. For he is certainly a very much all-round manwhose leisure hours must be few. Off the field he is deeply interested in commercial matters, his constant journeys to and fro between the old country and the Australian colonies having especially qualified him to act as an agent between various sporting and other commercial firms in the two countries. It goes without saying that the steady and well applied business capacity which characterises the man, has stood him and his principals in good stead in this as in other directions. It is said that Jim Phillips intends to continue for several years his semi-annual oscillation between London and the Antipodes, the Marylebone and the Melbourne Clubs, and, by the time he finally settles down, he may perhaps have exceeded his half-century of thousand miles in travel, not a very farfetched idea, when it is remembered that he travels some 24,000 miles by water and 7,000 by land during every twelve months of his life. From many sources it is well known that he isheld in high e.'teem in Australia, the leading papers in ail the colonies always writing of him with the highest respect, and there is no doubt that he is gaining an equal reputation in England. But it may not be well known in this country as illustrating his thoroughness, that when he first came to the front in Australian cricket, he went through a long course of gymnastic training, and that he can box, wrestle, fence, and swing Indian clubs with fair proficiency, and also is no novice at rowing. It may be well, before concluding this notice, to detail a couple of Phillips’ most remarkable per­ formances with the ball. For Victoria against New South Wales at Melbourne in December, 1890, he obtained 7 wickets for 20 runs. The analysis runs: 251 balls, 28 maidens, 20 runs, 7 wickets, but it should be noted that the overs consisted of 6 balls, the most striking (or from the batsman’s view, the least striking) circumstance being that of the 251 deliveries only 17 were scored from, indeed a performance with few precedents. Again in March, 1893, at Adelaide, against South Australia for Victoria on a perfect pitch in the first innings he took 6 wickets for 39 runs, dismissing Gr. Giffen, Lyons, Jarvis, and in fact all the best bats. He has rarely approached these performances in England, but his puzzling slow ball has often been too much for many a batsman, as even this week has shown in his performance against Surrey, while his patient and watch­ ful defence hasfrequently averteda threatened ‘ rot.” He is growing somewhat burly, and not so active as might be in getting to the ball, but few men on or off the field are so entirely to be counted upon all round as is ‘ Jim Phillips.
