Cricket 1900

314 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ug . 2, 1900. T h e West Indian cricketers, if report is correct, are to leave England on or about the 22nd of this month on their return home. Altogether they have had a good time of it. The tour, too, has had such a beneficial effect on their cricket that they all speak hopefully of a repe­ tition of the first visit in the very near future. They are to be guests of the West Indian Club at a dinner to be held in London on the 14th inst. It was hoped that Lord Hawke would be able to preside. But as Yorkshire is playing Middlesex at Leeds that day the York­ shire captain is hardly likely to leave his team. ------ F. N. T o w n s e n d , who re-appeared in the Gloucestershire eleven against Lan­ cashire last week, and met with such success as a wicket-keeper, has only just returned from Johannesburg. He scored heavily during his stay in the Transvaal. ------- I n a small way the record of the Hazelrigge Road School, who have just landed this year the Silver Cup given by the Surrey County C.C. some years ago to the South London Schools Cricket Association, is worthy of perpetuation. The Hazelrigge Road youngsters won all the twelve matches they played. P. J. Cox, who played a fine innings of 142 against Surrey at the Oval, on Monday, is the baby of the West Indian team. He was bom in the West Indies, and it is very much to his credit that his cricket, like that of most of his comrades by the way, is self-taught. He had only once before got into three figures, and his score of 142 at the Oval this week is his highest in any match up to date. As he is only twenty-one now, there is plenty of time for him to develop into a really first-class batsman. At all events he has good reason to remember his first experience of the Oval wicket. T h e number of young amateurs to take part in the match to be played at the Oval, on August 9th and 10th, between young SurreyAmateurs and Professionals, is so large that it has been decided to have a return later on in Ihe mouth. This has been fixed for the 24th and 25th. A CONVERSATION after a match in which two famous players, X . and Y, have made a splendid stand together:— A. “ Which would jo u prefer to have on your side, X . or Y . ? ” B. “ Ranji.” A. “ Who was talking of Eanji. ? ” B. “ I was.” A. “ That’s absurd. What I asked was would you rather have X . or Y . on your bide, if you had a choice ? ” B. “ And I said Ranji.” A. “ Pooh ! That’s not logical.” B. “ Perhaps. But it’s common- sensical, my boy.” I n the Sportsman of yesterday (Wed­ nesday) “ Wanderer ” writes : — “ The ‘ Avondale Castle,’ on which Mr. F. S. Jackson is returning invalided from the Cape, is due before the end of the week, and I am indebted to his father (the Right Hon. W. L. Jackson, M.P.) for the fact that the latest information men­ tioned that he was making good progress, and that it was hoped the voyage home would restore him.” L ast year, Trott, Mr. Townsend, Brockwell and Lockwood each took over a hundred wickets and made over a thousand runs. No one has yet accom­ plished this feat in 1900, but Lockwood, with 1079 runs and 93 wickets is within a little of it, while Trott, with 136 wickets and 742 runs, is in the running. T he following are some of the latest hundreds:— JULY. 26. W a r d , L an cash ire v . G- loucestebsh ibe .. 2*. G unn (W .), N o t t s v . W o r c e s te r s h ir e 26. A E.
