Cricket 1898

Ate. 4, 1898. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 323 T h e four hundreds in the Derbyshire innings against Hampshire are not a record for an innings. In the match between Yorkshire and Warwickshire, at Birmingham, in May, 1896, Mr. Jackson scored 117, Wainwright 126, Peel 210, not out, and Lord Hawke 166 in the Yorkshire innings. In a little over four hours, on Tuesday, the Old Shirburniaus put up a total of 511 for three wickets against Dorset­ shire. The fallow ing is the score:— O i . d S b ir b u r n ia n s . L. C.

As a boy he was engaged on the County ground, and even then used to bow l fairly well. For some years he had been lost sight of, and it was only this summer that he turned up at Leyton during the Warwickshire match. His bowling at the nets created such a favour­ able impression that the Essex authorities immediately set to work to secure his discharge from the Navy, in which he had been and was then serving. The Admiralty, like Barkis, being willing, the matter was arranged without diffi­ culty, with the result that Y oung made the earliest possible debut for the County, which was in the Derbyshire match. There is, too, the additional satisfaction for the Leyton public that he is Essex born and bred. A well-known amateur, anxious to represent the Gentlemen against the Players, had no alternative but to ask his chief, a distinguished member of an illustrious profession, for leave of absence to enable him to play. “ Oh ! yes, we can manage all that,” was the reply. “ I can let you off for the Tuesday and Wed­ nesday, all rig h t; but must have you here with me on the Monday ! ” A snapper-tjp of unconsidered trifles is responsible for the statement that thirty-eight minutes represented the actual time wasted over trial-balls during the three days of W .G .’s recent Jubilee Match at Lord’s. T h e Old Whitgiftians, who go on tour in Cornwall and Devon at the end of the week, have issued an exceedingly neat little book containing details of the tour. The opposing teams are Bodmin, Lord Eobartes’ X I., Bude, Holsworthy, Laun­ ceston, and Tavistock. N o tts ’ innings of 574 for nine wickets, at the Oval, yesterday, I may remark, is not the highest total against Surrey, as some seam to have hastily concluded. It may be the best performance of late years, and, no doubt, is. But, as far as I know, and I speak with bated breath with so many reliable statisticians about, the record belongs toY orkshire. A t least their score of 589, at the Oval ia 1868, is the biggest against Surrey up to date to the best of my belief. I n any case, Surrey will have good reason to remember their outing, which extended over two full days and a “ bittock.” In another way the match was noteworthy as the third at the Oval sinca July 10. in which over a thousand runs have been scored.

[In the match between Haileybury and Cheltenham at Lord’s, Haileybury required two runs to win when C. B. Smith’s score was 95. After his partner had played a maiden over Smith placed a ball to leg for five and thus made his score 100]. Sing a song of Haileybury, A glance to leg for five ; Half-a-dozen fieldsmen Very much alive. When the five was over, The very birds chirped “ Smith ” ; Was not that a dainty hit To reach a hundred with ! The Scorers in the scoring-box To mark each run were ready ; The Critics in Pavilion Forgot to call out “ Steady.” The batsman at the wicket Han like a startled deer ; The foe in admiration, Could not forbear to cheer. The Haileybury boys cheered then, And cheered, and cheered again. E. L. Collins, W. Howison, F. E. S. Jackson, B. S. Brodie and G. Mataon did not bat. ANSWER^ TO CORRESPONDENTS.
