Cricket 1899

Aug. 3, 1899. CBICEET : A W E E K lY HECORD OF THE GAME. 519 H a y w a r d was out in an unusual way on Tuesday in the second innings of Surrey v. Kent at the Oval. Mr. Patter­ son went on with lobs of the skyward variety, patented by Dr. E. M. Grace, and in attempting to play one of them as it dropped, Hayward stepped on to his wicket. It was doubtless very reprehen­ sible of the crowd to freely express their opinions about this class of bowling, but no crowd has ever yet been educated up to it, and probably never will be, although it is difficult to see any reason for this. If Mr. Patterson were to bowl in the same way at Canterbury it is long odds that the Kent sportsmen would express their annoyance, although, of course, this style of bowling is perfectly legitimate. F o k the benefit of our foreign and colonial readers, the County Champion­ ship table (up to to-day) is appended :— Pts. Finished Per- P. W . L.

Unfinished gameB are left out of the reckoning entirely, and the county which during the season shall have obtained in finished matches the greatest proportionate number of points is reckoned the champion county.

No man sturdier or bluffer— With the bat he’s proved a cuffer, And his firm defence makes gruffer Every bowler who’s a huffer. With the ball he makes them suffer, Downs the wicket of each duffer— Good all-round is A. D. Pougher. We admire his steady cricket, With the ball, or at the wicket, Bowling with an artful trick it Puzzles batsmen how to lick it. See him drive the ball or snick it— Past the fielder flies so quick it, From the ground he fails to pick it— “ Cut to boundary ? That’s the ticket! ” He would be a surly chuffer Who could find a fault with Pougher; Let our praise serve as a buffer To defend him ’gainst each snuffer.* Fortune prove for him a stuffer With good things—life never rougher ; Year by year may he grow tougher— Best of luck to A. D. Pougher ! F. B. N. * “ One who sniffs in contempt.” — N u t t a l l . GRAN VILLE (Lee) “ A ” v. AU D LEY HOUSE SCBOOL (with Masters).—Flayfd at Lee on July 24 and 25. G b a n v il l e . G.
