Cricket 1896

244 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 25, 1896. SURREY v. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. Played at the Oval on June 22, 23 and 24. Oxford » on by 8 wickets. Inasmuch as six of the usual Surrey team were not playing iu this match (Hayward, Abel, Richardson, and Lohmann being in the England Eleven at Lord’ s, and W . W . Read and Wood taking a rest) it was not very surprising that the University had the game in their hands. There was not very m u'h variety or strength in the Surrey bowliDg, but it was a fine performance on the part of Oxford to make 406 against it. As on so many other occasions this year, the tail did the greater part of the work. Bardswell and Waddy particularly distinguishing themselves. As Brockwell and I.ockwood did not come off in either innings of Surrey, there were very few men who could be relied on to make runs. Holland and Street did well in the fir.-t innings, and in the second Braund distinguished him elf, but at the time of drawing stumps on Tuesday Surrey were hopelessly behind. Nevertheless the captain played so finely and was so well backed up by Ayres and Lees that after all Oxford had to go in again. O x f o r d U n iv e r s it y . G. R.

The Cambridge eleven did themselves great credit in this match. They were decidedly fortunate to get Sussex out for only 129; only two men, Mr. Newham and Killick made the slightest stand against their bowlers. A good start was made for Cambridge by Mr. Burnup and Mr. Grace, junr., and afterwards Mr. Marriott played fine cricket, but there was no prospect of a very big score until Mr. Hemingway began to play a most beautiful game, hitting all the bowling with ease ; he made a hundred in less than two hours. Mr. Jessop exceeded even this rate of scoring by making 93 in an hour and a quarter. Mr. Mitchell was also in great form, for a change, and it is pleasant to find him making a big score again. Hopelessly in arrears, Sussex began fairly well in the second innings, but ut close of play required 202 runs to save the innings defeat. Mr. Cobbold bowled ex­ ceedingly well on Wednesday.

It was not to be expected for a moment that Somersetshire on their present form could make a close fight with Lancashire, and by making only a small total when they won the toss, they put them­ selves out of the running. In both innings Mr. W oods and Mr. Lionel Palairet made good scores, but they were aided by nobody else. On the other hand, the Lancashire batting was pretty even, with the exception of that of Ward, who outshone his companions by making a fine 77. There was never any reasonable doubt that Lancashire would be easy winners. S o m er set First innings. L. C. H.

SnERBORNE. —The School played the M.C.C. on June 19th and 20th, and were defeated by 6 wickets. The visitors had a strong team, including Storer, Pickett, and G. G. Hearne. The School won the toss, but were all disposed of for 87, Prichard (21) and Whinney (20), being top scorers. The M C.C. replied with 131, Rev. F. YVestcott making a very good 40, and Storer 25. Martin took 6 wickets for 46 runs. The School’s second innings realised 128, Prichard again playing very well for 28 ; however, only four others reached double figures, and the M.C.C. left, with 85 to win, hit off that number for the loss of 4 wickets. Pickett’s fast deliveries took 5 wickets for 30, G. G. Hearno 7 for 58, while Storer’s leg- broaks accounted for 7 for 104. M a l v e r n . —LaM; Tuesday we had a most exciting match with Oriel College. We batted first. Short played very well for his 4S. but fell to a reckless stroke. Foster and Johnston made 22 and 21. Apthorp hit up a few at the end. Our total was 168. Bardswell and Isaac started for Oriel, the former being lbw. for a small score, but the latter mastered the bowling, and contributed a finely played 70. which proved invaluable to his side. A t the call of time they wanted 10 runs to win, with two wickets in hand. In the first round of the House matches. School House have beaten Fabers; Toppin’s beat Foster s; and Lyon’s beat House’ ". Swann’s have yet to play Spear’s, to complete the first round. M a r l b o r o u g h .— Cirencester Town played us on our ground on Thursday, June 18. They won the toss, and were represented by C. O. H. Sewell and S. Boulton. The former was soon out, Moir judging the catch nicely. Boulton carried his bat for 103 ; his innings was steady, though not faultless. E. B. Haygarth made 50. and E. M . Beecham 40 (not out). The innings was declared at 273 for six wickets. W e had a little over two hours’ batting, and totalled 1S6 for eight wickets. Runs c ime very f*st at the beginning, Sandford (40) and Prest (25) forcing the pace. Later, Eogers hit hard for 39. At the end, Lewis (25) and Streatfeild (16), both not out, deserve praise for the plucky way in which they played out time. The semi-final House Match is being played, and Littlefield have scored 223 against Madden’s (Mitre) 58. How ell was responsible for 79. C r o i i £ § p o n t ( c n r e . CRICKET SCORES & BIOGRAPHIES. To the Editor of C r ick et . D ear S ir , —In your kind notice of Vol. xiv. of the Cricket Scores and Biographies , you have made a somewhat large mistake as to the number of pages in that volume, which I hasten to correct. There are certainly 1,126 pages of the Scores and Biographies, but there are also 111 pages of Errata Addenda, &c., prefixed, which I consider far the most important part of the vol., making the total number 1,237 pages, instead of 1,126 as stated. There are, I may add, now,in the whole of the fourteen volumes, 9,989 pages (10.000, less 11), of which Vols. i.—iv., which I did for the late Mr. Miller, contain 2,615 pages, and the remaining ten vols, 7,374, I have done to the best of my ability for the INI.C.C. In my own biography, in vol. xiv., in page 25, line ten, of the Errata and Addenda, the word “ fast” has, through a misprint, been put “ last,” for which I am sorry but it cannot be helped now. Yours truly, ARTHUR HAYGARTH.
