Cricket: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME, 168, UPPER THAMES STREET, LONDON, E.G. THURSDAY, JULY 8 th , 1897.. :pa\ult 01 l 0O50tp. The abstract and brief chronicle of the tim e.- Hamlet . The bowling of Richardson in the Surrey v. Yorkshire match was a good deal better than the mere analysis would show—although that is good enough— against such a team on so good a wicket. It was a great feat to bowl nearly all through both innings without being really collared. A l l cricketers must have been delighted to see that Mr. G. S. Patterson, the Philadelphia captain, has at last got into form, and that he only missed his hundred against Hampshire by 12 runs. He has had a most discouraging experi­ ence, very similar to that of Iredale last year and Mr. Newham this year. Mr. Patterson’s scores are 5 ; 18 and 5; 0 and 14; 4 and 4; 3; 88 and 5. T he fall of the Surrey wickets early on Friday morning, when the ground had presumably been affected by a heavy dew, was so remarkable that a record of the total may be interesting. When the game was resumed three wickets had fallen for 94. The scoriDg board read as follows for the next five wickets :— 112, 3, 34 (Hayward). 112, 4, 25 (Baldwin). 114, 5, 1 (Chinnery). 115, 6, 1 (Key). 116, 7, 1 (Read). I t is the misfortune—the great mis­ fortune—of a county like Surrey, with such a number of good cricketers at the command of the committee, that they cannot afford to keep a man in the team when he does badly for three or four matches. The chances are that he would soon get into form again and be as good as ever; but there are so many other men in form, that he has to stand out, and thus many good cricketers are practically lost to the side. The task of the committee will be harder than ever now, for how is it possible to leave out Mr. Jephson or Mr. Druce ? It is decidedly a case of an embarras de richesses. T he schools were represented in the University match this year as follows :— Eton and Malvern, three each; Charter­ house and Uppingham, two each; and Harrow, Marlborough, Wellington, Ton­ bridge, Cheltenham, Repton, St. Peter’s (York), Wellingborough, and Clergy Orphan School (Canterbury), one each. Two of the three old county cricketers, who reappeared in matches at the end of last week, Mr. Crosfield and Mr. Jephson, both played two very steady and very useful innings, and both made between
