Cricket 1901

260 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uly 11, 1901. on the side proved how deadly the bowl­ ing was and how difficult a matter it was to obtain runs. Mr. Warner played a very fine defensive game for his side, but he was quite overshadowed by Fry, who was in his most brilliant form. When the Gentlemen had 200 on the board for the loss of only one wicket, everybody expected they would exceed the total of the PJayers, but after lunch Hirst and Lockwood proved so difficult to play that the innings which had given so great pro­ mise of assuming huge proportions was summarily finished off for 245. Seldom, if ever, has better fast bowling on a perfect wicket, and against such excellent bats­ men, been seen than that of Lockwood and Hirst on this occasion. The Players placed themselves safe from defeat on the opening day, Tyldesley, Lockwood and Hirst scoring freely off the not very effective bowling of the Gentlemen. Tyldesley’s innings of 140 is the best he has ever played on a London ground, his strokes all round the wicket being of a very high order. On the last day of the match the Players added considerably to the lead they held on the first innings, and although it did not appear likely that a definite result would be arrived at the Players won easily.

Whatever “ D u x ” writes on cricket is so practical as well as so sound from a literary standpoint that it is difficult to understand why, to the volume of sketches from his pen just published by Methuen and Co., has been added quite a super­ fluity of naughtiness in the person of an editor. Himself a useful cricketer and a good judge of the game, Capt. Philip Trevor is more than capable of appealing to the reading world of cricket on his own merits. The articles he has produced in collected form have several of them at all events appeared in the daily Press. Still, cricketers will be glad to have them in their present and more convenient shape. Capt. Trevor’s versa­ tility as a writer on cricket subjects is shown by the variety of the subjects he deals with in the twenty-one chapters which form the volume. The Pavilion Cricketer, Soldier Cricket, Second-class Cricket, Literary Cricket, Country House Cricket, Suburban Cricket, Indian Cricket, Public School Cricket, and Cricket for Women, and Cricket Tours, are all dealt with and well-treated in a critical and Catholic spirit. The other topics, such as the Morality of the Cricket Field, County Cricket Committees, the Future of the Bowler, Early Cricket, Training the Leading Batsmen, Fielding and Wicket-keeping, Australian Influence upon English Cricket, and Cricket as a Profession, hardly suggest ‘ ‘ The Lighter Side of Cricket.’* But that is rather a matter of taste. The book itself is a valuable as well as an interesting addition to cricket literature, and we commend it heartily to Cricket readers. The “ Ode to Dr. W.
