Cricket 1898

90 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A p r il 28, 1898. w it, £1,198 13*. 6d. But it was closely approached by the Lancashire match which brought in £1,195 9s., a better record considering that there was no holi­ day to increase the crowd. According to rumour there is not to be a contest for the Committee this year, and as no candi­ date has been nominated, the eight retiring mfmbers will have a walk over. The annual general meeting will be held in the large club room of the new pavilion on Wednesday, May 11, at 5 p.m. A p r o p o s of the interview, in another place, it. is worthy of remark that, during the last five seasons Parson Crawford and his son, Frank (V. F. R. of that ilk), have scored upwards of fourteen thousand runs, and taken over eleven hundred wickets ! C le m H i l l , for whom the South Australian Register justly claims the title of the champion batsman of Australia, reached his majority on the 18‘.h of last month. The occasion was utilised by “ Point,’ ’ the cricket con­ tributor to the S.A.R.y to place on record the young cricketer’s scores of a hundred, as well as his averages in first- class matches. The figures cannot fail to interest Cricket readers on this side. Here they are :—- H undreds . March, 1895 - S.A. v. Stoddart’s Team ..........150** February. 1896-S.A . v.

In addition to his record in 1897-98 the 1 Register claims that Clem H ill is the first cricketer under twenty years of age to make a thousand runs during an English season. To a very large number of Cricket readers the news of ihe death of J. Sandford Robinson will be received with the deepest regret. F or a short time it looked as if he was going to make a great reputation as a batsman. Oddly enough though, with plenty of good cricket in him he never got into the Eleven at Harrow, or later into the Cambridge team. His performances for Notts in 1891 and 1892 made his omission from the Cambiidge Eleven all the more sur­ prising. One of his best innings, his 71 for Notts v. Yorkshire at Nottingham, in July, 1892, is still vivid in my recollection. With more robust health he would certainly have taken a high place among amateur batsmen.
