Cricket 1898

M ay 19, 1898. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 131 have an ending. But a thousand memories remain, memories of the un­ bounded kindness and hospitality shown to us by the many kind friends with whom we have parted so regretfully and by the kind and good fellows who inaugurated the tour, and who have been at once the hosts and the life and soul of our party. And, since history repeats itself, with these pleasant memories there mingle, perhaps, a few equally delightful hopes. THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN 1898. (Continued from page 119.) Seven old colours remain for C h a r t e r ­ h o u s e in W . L. Moss, the captain, S. Heaton, C. C. Doll, H . N. Hole, G. Crosdale, Y . G. Harmsworth, and A. H . Tompson. Of these, three—Moss, Hole, and Harmsworth — were last year’s bowlers, so that the attack ought to be good. W ilh Messrs. Dawes, Longworth, and C. B. F ry to supervise the practice, and three professional bowlers, the cricket ought to have every chance of fall development. MAY. 21. Broadwater, v. Broadwater 26. House Matches, first round 28.

Though C h e lt e n h a m has only four of its eleven of 1897 remaining, there are six of the second eleven available. That there is considerable promise among the rising talent may be judged by the fact that the second team has just opened the season auspiciously with an easy victory over a strong eleven of E jst Gloucestershire. F . Kershaw is captain. MAY. 21. Cheltenham, v. Hertford College 26. Cheltenham, v. Clifton Club JUNE. 3. Cheltenham, v. Liverpool C.C.* 10. Cheltenham, v. Incognili C.C.* 15. Cheltenham, v.

West left of last year’s team. There are great expectations in the bow ling line of D. G. Schulze, who bowls right hand slow, with break either way. In batting, J. Boss and B. O. Stovey show the most promise. G. B. Howell, who has been at Fettes some years, retains his position as pro­ fessional. MAY. 21. Fettfs, v. Geo. Heriot’s F. P.’s 21. Fettes, v. 2nd Geo. Heriot’s F.

W. Wordsworth, J. Bruce Kerr, and J. H. Gillespie of the eleven of 1897 to help him. Kerr was exceptionally successful last summer as a bowler, and alio did fairly well as a bat. So far, Loretto has only played two matches. Still, both (v. Brunswick and Carlton) have been won, so at leastthe start has been suc­ cessful. B . Tomlinson and Montague are the professionals.

Gathorne Hardy to help him. Mr. A. C. M. Croome, the old Oxonian, looks after the practice with Etphick of Sussex as professional. It is hoped that G. C. Oakley, S. H. Banner and B. D. Hodgson will be of use as bowlers. Of batting there is a fair amount of promise too, so that the prospects generally are far from bad. MAY. 25. Radley, v. Magdalen College* 28. Radley, v.

Of its eleven of 1897 R e p to n retains two of the best all-round cdcketers in VY. F. Luinsden, the captaiD, and G. C. Beloe. There are only two others remaining, H . Jameson and R. C. Franklin, so there are seven places to be filled up. Present appearances suggest that the chief want will be a wicket keeper. In any case, Repton has begun well by winning its first match against Wolverhampton with something to spare. MAY. 26. Repton, v. Bmton-on-Trent 30. Repton, v. Incogniti* JUNE. 7. Repton, v.

Uppingham School* •Two-day matches.1 If it has lost its two best all-round cricketers of 1897 U p p in g h a m retains for this year H. F. Terry, one of the best batsmen of last year, as well as C. E. Winter, H . Willey, G. H . S. Fowke, and G. W. Harris. As far as can be seen if there should be any weak point it will be in the bowling. Still, great things are expected of Fowke, who was so success­ ful in 1897, aud is likely to be i f the greatest assistance. Among the promis­ ing new players are J. H. Hull, a fast right-hand bowler, and T. Adkins, a steady bat. Louis Hall, of Yorkshire fame, is coach, and in his charge the coming cricketers are sure to be seen to the best advantage. The Malvern match is an interesting addition to the card. MAY. 26. v. S. Christopherson’s X L JUNE. 1. v. Incogniti 9. v. Quidnuncs 17. v. Malvern (at Uppingham) 23. v. Old Boys JULY. 6. v.
