Cricket 1896

290 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 16, 1896. very popular American Cricket Annual. H e took 5 wickets and made 25. The top score was made b y R . A. J. Goode (Fettes), while S. G. Tovey (Welling­ borough), W . D. Pagan (Fettes), and W . P. Ward (Rugby), the Yice-President of the club, who used to play for the United Service, also did well. The other schools which were represented in the team were Harrow (A . L . Hassard-Short and C. F. Gourand), Sherborne (D. E. Burrows), Cheltenham (H . P . Powell- Kees), Dulwich (J. Gourand), Welling­ borough (S. G- Tovey), and Foyle College (W . A. M. Goode). Wellington and Haileybury are represented in the list of officers of the club. B o a r d has been paying Storer and L illey the sincerest flattery of imitation in the matter of high scoring, to a limited degree, at all events. Not, that the Gloucestershire stumper’s abilities as a batsman have been unknown or unrecognised. If any proof had been wanting of his power to force the game, those who were at the Oval when, with Wrathall, he performed so severely on the Surrey bow ling, would have been able to produce it. But in his performance for Gloucestershire, against Warwick­ shire, he went one better. On Saturday he punished the Warwickshire bowlers to the extent of 124 out of 177 runs. Sixty runs an hour is not a bad rate of scoring for a side. But Board outdid this, and “ off his own,” for he made his 124 in an hour and fifty minutes. S e v e n wickets with consecutive balls in any class of cricket is a rarity almost akin to the black tulip. The credit of the latest instance of the kind belongs to Tom Richardson, Surrey’s fast bowler. It was done for Andover against Basing­ stoke at Basingstoke on Saturday week. In Basingstoke’s first innings he took ten out of eleven wickets— the match was twelve a side. Seven of these were got with successive balls, and the last six of them clean bowled. L io n e l P a l a i e e t ’ s 292 for Somerset­ shire against Hampshire, at Southamp­ ton on Thursday, has the distinction of being, so far, the highest individual innings of a run-getting season in first- class matches. Moreover, there have only been five better scores recorded in matches of the same quality. RICHMOND v. OLD WESTM INSTERS.—Played at Richmond on July 11. O l d W e s t m in st e r s . H . R.

They went in first and started badly. On Burrow joining Bennett the score increased rapidly, Burrow hitting vigorously all round. Their total realised 137. Gibbons bowled well. Short and White opened our innings. For us White played a fine innings of 57. Day played well for his 43. We eventually beat them by 6 wickets. After this match W hite and Gibbons received their colours. On Friday and Saturday we had an excellent match with the Free Foresters. W e batted first. Short made 21. Foster and Day made a long stand, the former being out first for a fine 43. Day played a beautiful not out innings of 76. Total 179. The Foresters started their innings with some dashing cricket, Hayhurst hitting well for 25. The next two wickets went down for a very little. Toppin partnered Archer, and ^carried the score to 135, when the former was caught at the wicket for a fine 46; [Archer left soon afterwards for 41. A t the close of the innings they were one to the eood. Next morning we opened well. Day and White together laised the total to 110 for one wicket before White left, having contributed 45. Day followed shortly afterwards with 57. Foster now began with some hard driving; his partners, however, did not stop long, till Wadlow came. Foster’s innings of 56 consisted of some fine drives. After Wadlow and W right had put on a few we declared at 361, leaving the Foresters 361 to win. Hayhurst again played well. Lambert made a few, Toppin also played well, and Felton added some. A t the end of the day’s play we had seven of their wickets down and 80 odd runs in hand, leaving the match a draw. The following are some o f the latest hundreds :— K illic k , S ussex v.
