O c t. 3 1 , 1 8 9 5 . CR ICKET : A W EEK LY RECORD 0E THE GAME. 445 BOWLERS AND WICKETS. A valued correspondent sends us the subjoined interesting table, w hich shows the respective deadliness o f the b ow lin g o f the leading bow lers o f last season. This is, o f course, irrespective o f the cost in runs, and m erely shows the num ­ ber o f balls sent dow n by the several bow lers in order to gain a wicket. It w ill be seen that T ownsend and R ichardson are at the head o f the list, W oodcock and Mead com ing next, with M old in the third rank. One hardly w onders at the position o f K en t in the championship when it is remarked that M artin, the only bow ler from that county in the list, has to send dow n tw elve overs less a ball in order to capture a wicket. The perform ances o f the leaders are quite up to the best records o f previous seasons, w h ich under the favourable conditions for batsmen which marked the past summer N o. o f balls B alls.

A t first sight the connection between ballooning and cricket is n ot particularly obvious, bu t the follow in g proceedings o f the B alloon Society certainly demand record in the colum ns of Cricket :— “ S IX T Y Y E A R S I N T H E C R IC K E T F IE L D . “ A t the w eekly m eeting o f the Balloon Society, held at the Gallery, 9, Conduit Street, R egent Street, L ondon, W ., on September 17th, 1895, M r. Frederick Gale gave a sketch o f cricket in all ages, tracing the origin o f m ost o f our sports from the Greeks and the Rom ans. He touched on the rise of the old clubs in the days o f G eorge II. dow n to the old H am bledon Club a hundred and fifty years ago, relyin g on the accuracy o f his facts on an old print of a m atch in 1743 and a published score o f 1746. H e gave m any details o f matches played at the comm encem ent o f the present century, of which he had oral evidence from those who took part in or witnessed them . H a vin g entered W inchester C ollege in 1835, and comm enced his introduction to cricket as a fa g at longstop, and having passed out in cricket honours in 1841, after six and a half years in the school, and tw o years in the W inchester eleven, M r. Gale was enabled to give a practical history o f the gam e in all its details from the time when under-arm b ow lin g was superseded by round-arm , and as he had been on the cricket ground as a cricketer or spectator ever siuce 1842, when he came to L ondon, and has intimately known very m any of the leading ama­ teurs and professionals o f all ages dow n to to-d ay , he was qualified to tell the story o f M arylebone cricket and county cricket-, and the rise o f the gam e all over England dow n to the present day, in­ cluding P ublic S chool and University cricket, and village green cricket, which he claims as the nursery o f all our future great cricketers. H e drew a comparison between many points in the old and present systems, and spoke m ost strongly in favour o f the new m ovem ent o f having county championships, averages, and other details classed and regulated b y the M arylebone C lub.” LEATHERHEAD C.C.
