Cricket 1900

242 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 5, 1900. College with a fine reputation as a bats­ man with many good strokes. In 1895 bis average for the school was 39, and in 1896 it was 46'3, when he was head of the averages, with Mr. 8. H. Day a good second. Two or three times in the University match he has made runs when the Oxford team looked like mak­ ing a bad collapse, while for Worcester­ shire he has done exceedingly well; last year, when the county first appeared in the championship, he was second only to his brother, W. L., in the averages, with 40 75 in 18 completed innings. It is the general opinion of good judges of the game that he is one of the very best of the coming men. No description of Mr. Foster’s batting would be complete without reference to certain remarkable performances of his. Last year, at the end of July, he made 134 and 101 not out, for Worcestershire against Hampshire, in the same match in which his brother, Mr. W. L. Foster, made two hundreds. The double feat is, of course, a record. Again, this year (on May 18th and 19th), he accomplished the same feat—two separate hundreds in a first-class match. This time he made 128 and 100 not out, for Oxford University against Mr. Webbe’s Eleven. Thus, in consecutive years, he has twice made two separate hundreds in a first-claps match, and, with the exception of Dr. Grace, who has cccomplished the feat three times during his career, he is the only man who has ever placed his name on the list more than once. Two days after plajing his second innings against Mr. Webbe’s Eleven, he made 169 against the London County team, and thus accom­ plished the rare feat of scoring a hutdred in each of three successive innings in a first-class match. In other games Mr. Foster has made a great reputation, notably in Association football and rackets. In the latter he has represented his University, while in the former he is one of the most prominent forwards of Ihe day, and deservedly was chosen to play for England againstWales in the last Internatioi al match between the two couiitrit s. He is very difficult to step, beir g quite able to hold his own in any charge, while his pasting, displays consummate judgment. W. A. B e t t e s w o r t h . IN fO GN ITI v.

[Talks with Old English Cricketers. By A. W. Pullin. William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London. 6s.] This book consists of a series of inter­ views with the following famous cricketers Mr. Herbert Jenner-Fust, Mr. Y. E. Walker, George Anderson, Mr. David Buchanan, John Jackson, Canon McCormick, Luke Greenwood, Mr. Richard Daft, Mr. Edward Dowson, Tom Emmett, Alfred Shaw, Edward Pooley, Mr. Arthur Appleby, William Oscroft, Mr. R. A. H. Mitchell, George Freeman, George Wootton, Rev. E. S. Carter, Alec Watson, Mr. W. Yardley, EphraimXockwood, Mr. C. I. Thornton, R. G. Barlow, George Ulyett, E. Peate, and W. A. Woof. Each interview is illustrated by a small portrait of the subject at the beginning of the chapter about him. Perhaps Mr. Pullin is at his best when relating the experiences of the Yorkshire profes­ sionals, and if their diction is more polished than one usually finds in profes­ sionals, this was perhaps unavoidable. Needless to say the book is full of anecdotes; in fact some of Mr. Pullin’s subjects have saved him any trouble in arrangement by relating anecdote after anecdote with hardly any intermission. In marking passages for quotation one is bewildered by the multitudes of anec­ dotes of all kinds ; but the following, as told by Ephraim Lockwood, is one of the best. “ As a side incident in this match (Players v. Australians, 1882) I may repeat a story which my wife still chuckles over. She was sitting, in com­ pany with her sister, in the reserved seats at the pavilion, near where three gaily- attired society young ladies were seated. The young ladies criticised the poor players with unblushing frankness. *Do you know who that is ?* said one. ‘ Yes; that’s Punch,* was the reply. Punch was Tom Emmett. ‘ Who’s that one there?* ‘ That’s Big Feet.* ‘ Big Feet ’ was your humble servant, whose wife was taking the conversation all in. ‘ Who’s the other ? * ‘ That’s the dashing young Yorkshireman.’ The player thus favoured was the late Billy Bates. My wife enjoyed the situation hugely when Punch, Big Feet, and the Dashing One walked from the field to the pavilion to talk to her. The young ladies made a hurried departure.” CROYDON (2) v.
