Cricket 1898

J u n e 30, 1898. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 243 Spanish club. In the course of the game the American "batsmen were nonplussed by the Spanishbowling, which was of a particularly accurate description. As the batsmen had hitherto been opposed to the weakest possible bowling, they were placed at great disadvantage. They began to use swear words. Thereupon, the captain of the team, who probably caught a glimpse of the Archbishop of Canterbury during the Jubilee procession last year, made a remark which deserves to be for ever enshrined in the hearts of all true players. He said, with a calmness which struck his hearers with awe, “ Don’t swear, my lads! Hit ’em! ” The effect was instantaneous. The bats­ men at once found that there was very little in the bowling. The Senate has decided that the beautiful exclamation of the captain shall be included in all future American Sunday school books. New York , alittle later. As amatter of fact, the U.S. touring team is really very strong, while the Spanish club is of a very third-rate kind. Indeed, the materials used by the Spanish are so old- fashioned and worn out, that an ordinary third-rate club would despise them. Washington. The Americans talk of sending a touring teamto visit the towns on the coast of Spain. It is unfortunate for the Spaniards, that the only teamworth anything at all which they had at home—it was not of much use—has itself gone on a tour, nominally to Manila, but probably to Margate or Great Yarmouth.

[At Trent Bridge, Mr. Fry was no-balled by West for throwing, and at Brighton, by Phillips. For the same reason, Hopkins was no-balled at Tonbridge, by Titchmarsh]. There was terror in the land, When the dread no-ball went forth, When the small umpiring band Travelled South and travelled North. Then the “ chuokers ” fearful grew ; Then they trembled, one and a ll; Mene, Mene, Tekel, U— pharsin glared upon the wall. Then the grim Crusaders stalked Through each once contented shire, Bringing woe where’er they walked, Trying all men in the fire. Ere the conflagration paled (Umpires now at nought connived), One by one the bowlers failed, Till but three of them survived. One had fled to far Tralee, One had wandered to Stamboul, And one, the wisest of the three. Had coached a Scottish private school. LANCASHIRE v. SOMERSET. Played at Taunton on June 20, 21, and 22. Lancashire won by 260 runs. Owing to an accident the scores in this match were not given quite complete in our last issue. L ancashire . First innings. Second innings. C. R. Hartley, c L.

AND GROUND v. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. Played at Lord’s on June 27 and 28. Oxford won by nine wickets. This match was limited to two days, as usual, and as play did not begin on Monday until very late, there did not seem much chance of any result beicg arrived at, except a draw. For twenty-five minutes it was possible to play on Monday afternoon, DuriDg this time Mr. Wright and Dr. Grace put on 15 runs with­ out being separated. On Tuesday morning the Oxford bowlers carried everything before them, Mr. Stocks meeting with great Bucce.«s. The M.O.C. were weak in bowling, but Roche and Handford got rid of Oxford pretty cheaply, although the University had a lead of a few runs on the first innings. When they went in again, the M.C.C. did so badly that there was a good prospect of finishing the match. Dr. Grace alone met with anything like success. Oxford won very easily. Mr. Champain took his place in the Oxford team, and batted remarkably well. M.C.C. and G round . W . G. Grace, c Foster, b Wright .....................16 c Foster, b Lee... C. W .
