Cricket 1895

D e c . 26, 1895. C R IC K E T : A W EEK LY RECORD OF THE GAME. 467 M r. Evershed, like all his brothers, is passionately devoted to sport in all its branches. H e says that he has done a little o f everything w ithout d oin g any­ thing particularly w ell, but that is his m odest w ay o f puttin g the matter. H e has w on innumerable prizes for row ing, running, and swimm ing. In football he is not quite so w ell know n as his brother Frank, w h o was, perhaps, the most brilliant forw ard in the open of the fo o t­ ball o f some years ago, and w ho several times played for E ngland. L ike S. M . J. W oods, he could play alm ost equally well at three-quarters, bu t had a reputation of w in gin g a bit when he m igh t have been in the pack. Sydney Evershed captained the Burton R u g b y football club fo r m ore than ten years, and fo r several seasons held the same post in the M idland Counties’ team . Tw ice he played for the N orth against the South, Burton being rather m ixed geographically, sometimes contributing to the N orthern and some­ times to the Southern team. Y e t he never g o t his International cap, though on one occasion he w as first reserve for E nglan d as half-back. H is height is 5 feet 8 f inches, and his w eight 12 stone 6 lbs. It njay be regretted, from the cricketers’ point o f view , that this able batsman was for some years n ot p layin g in first-class matches. I t is quite possible that w ith his help the county m igh t have avoided its d ow nfall in 1887. E ven now he does not find tim e to p lay in all the matches, iu fact, his innings last season were 17, as against 28 b y Chatterton. D erbyshire has a splendid sextett o f professionals in Bagshaw , Chatterton, Storer, Davidson, Sugg, and Porter, and w ith Messrs. Evershed, W right, and W alker always available, the team w ou ld need on ly tw o m ore first-class m en to make it really the m ost form idable antagonist to the present leading county. In fact, those w h o were privileged to w atch the splendid bow lin g and fielding w hich D erbyshire show ed against Surrey at the O val last autumn, could bu t feel astonished that such a team should have been in name second-class though in fa ct stronger than m any o f the first-class counties. A n d for this g row in g strength as w ell as for its p ublic acknow ­ ledgm ent b y the authorities o f cricket, the county owes its deepest gratitude chiefly to its captain, S. H . Evershed. W alter Humphreys, the famous Sussex lob bow ler, has retired from county cricket, and has been nom inated to stand umpire next season in coun ty matches. Maurice R ead and R . A bel (Surrey) have been engaged to coach the prom ising y ou n g cricketers o f Essex at the early part o f n ext season. B . Y . Scrym gour, p layin g fo r H in d- marsh Square C ongregational Church against S tow Belvedere, in Sydney, on O ctober 12th, carried his bat through the innings fo r 141. The total o f the side was 183. C R IC K E T R ep ort Sheets, lOd. per do 2 e n ,p o st free. O rder o f G oin g -In Cards, 7d. per dozen, p o st free.

SOUTH SYDNE y V .I e AST SYDNEY. S. E. Gregory’ s score of 253 was the most striking feature of the match between these Clubs, begun at Sydney on October 12 and finished the following Saturday. This is the highest innings Gregory has ever played, his best previously being his 235 against the Warwicks four seasons ago. Burton only gave one extra in the South’s long innings.
