J u ly 25, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 293 D eath has rem oved in the person of Charles H amm ond a cricketer of th e very old school. H is fath er was John H amm ond, w ho p artici­ pated in all the great m atches at the end of the eighteenth and the comm encem ent of the nineteenth century, w h ilst E rnest H amm ond, whose nam e is found in the Sussex elevens of 1870, 1874 and 1875, w as nephew to the deceased. “ Scores and Biographies ’ ’ says of Charles : “ W a s a fine and pow erful hitter, and v e ry successful for his county d urin g the few seasons he played. A fte r 1849, how ever, he seldom was engaged in a m atch, ow in g to (at least the com piler w as so inform ed) his being a bad field, but could throw in w e ll at the distance of 70 or 80 ya rd s.” H is battin g averages for Sussex are appended :— Matches batted Not Highest Year. in.

H amm ond made his score of 92 again st the bow lin g of W illiam C larke and Sam uel R edgate, and he was unfortunate to be dism issed when so near his hundred. In the same m atch tw o other players missed th eir century b y a few runs only, C . H aw kins m akin g 95 for Sussex and John G ilbert 92 fo r N otts. One of H amm ond’s bats can be seen in th e collection at W isd en ’s in Cran- b oum Street. H amm ond was born at Storrin gton on Septem ber 6th, 1818, and died at his native place last week. In the fam ous Sussex v. K en t engraving, issued by M ason, of B righ ton , and other publishers, Charles H amm ond is to be seen fielding at cover-point. T h e latest fashion in the cricketin g w orld is for a batsm an to be dismissed w hen one short of a hundred, K n ig h t, Shrew sbury, B roughton , Charlesw orth and M r. E . W .

Played a t N ortham pton on J u ly 18, 19 and 20. South A frican s w on b y five w ickets. When the South Africans went in for the fourth innings of the match they had to make 172 runs, and lost five wickets for 58, so that their position was pretty desperate. But then Mr. Sinclair was joined by Mr. Murray Bisset and the runs were hit off without further loss. It is very pleasant to see that the former has at last begun to show his true form, and better cricket could hardly have been played than his two fine innings in this match. He and Mr. Bisset made nearly all the runs in both innings, while the bowling of Mr. Rowe and Mr. Kotze had not a little to do with the success of their side. N ortham ptonshire . First innings. W .
