Cricket 1901

362 CRtCfcET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ug . 22, i901. generations back the Haywards were well known in Surrey cricket. The grand­ father of the Surrey cricketer of to-day was born at Mitcham, and not only played for his village but also represented Surrey in a few matches, in the early days of the County Club in 1847, or there­ abouts. T h e South African College cricket eleven for 1900-01 has made a record, ays thejCape Times. They went through he cup sMsjn without a defeat, winding up by defeating Cape Town and the Western Province, thereby winning the Club Championship of the Western Pro­ vince. They played ten matches and won every one. They scored 1,335 runs for the loss of 96 wickets, an average of 133'5 runs per innings, or just under 14 runs per wicket. Ttieir opponents in twelve innings, or 120 wickets, scored 795 runs, at tbe rate of 66-25 runs per innings, or 6'63 runs per wicket. I t is stated that the Basuto chief Lerothodi appeared a short time ago in Capetown attired in a frock coat, khaki trousers, patent-leather boots, and a cricket cap with red, yellow, and green stripes. On Tuesday evening the irreverent artist of the Sun drew a picture of Lord Hawke endeavouring to hold back Hirst and Bhodes, who are about to precipitate themselves into the sea. He entitled his picture : “ By the sad sea waves,” and appended the following legend :— “ Children, children ! D on’t he foolish ! ” saith a stern voice at the close of the first d ay’ s p lay. “ D on ’t do an yth in g rash. Eem em her th ere’s to-m orrow .” “ T h a t’s ju st it, p a,” groan tw o saddened voices. “ 307 fo r one w icket, and F r y not out and R an ji not in . H ere goes.” yesterday, and Mr. A. C. von Ernsthau- sen 88 not out. Norfolk made 107, and Surrey Second 402 for five wickets, so that the day’s cricket produced 509 runs. A NORTH COUNTRY SIDE .

UnFORTUNATlLY there is no direct cable between England and Canada, so that Canadians have to depend for their European news upon the cablegrams via New York. They come through “ The Associated Press.” My correspondent suggests that it should be re-named “ Tbe Associated Mess.” T h e international match between the United States and Canada, I hear, is to be played next month. T h e Americans have this year to visit Canada, and Toronto or Ottawa will be the scene of action, which of them is to be the favoured one had not been decided when my cor­ r e s p o n d s wrote from Toronto on August 8th. A n o t h e r correspondent located in a different part of Ontario writes hopefully on the subject of Canadian cricket. Cricket seems to have taken a new lease of life in Ontario from the number of new clubs springing up, and the resuscitation of old clubs. “ I had. hoped to have gone to Philadelphia with a team got up by Major Straubenzee,” he says, “ but was unable after all. The team won one, lost one, and drew two matches in Philadelphia, besides beating New York by an innings and 112 runs. Booke and McGivern were the most successful with the ball, and J. M. Laing, J. L. Counsell, and W. A. Henry with the bat. Laing scored 103 against New York. A k e e n West India cricketerwriting from Charlotte Amalia, St. Thomas, on July 10, .in sending particulars of two matches played there early in the summer, mentions the possibility of an All-Island Match between St. Thomas and Antigua. If it comes off it will take place at St. Thomas in November next. THOUGH the South Africans have only just completed their present tour it is already stated, and on the authority of some of the players now here, that another team will in all probability visit England during the summer of 1904. A well-known South African sportsman, prominently identified with Johannesburg sport, is mentioned as the moving spirit. I t will interest the older generations of cricketers and our good friend, “ the Old Buffer,” in particular, to hear that B. G. Pilch, who played for Norfolk against Surrey’s second eleven yesterday and got Hayes’ wicket, is a grandson of Fuller Pilch, of immortal memory. Fuller, as everybody who knows anything of cricket lore is well aware, was bom in Norfolk, though he played for Kent during his cricket career. His first appearance at Lord’s, indeed, was for that county eleven, which also included his two brothers, Nathaniel and William. T he Committee of the Surrey County C.C. have promised Hayward a benefit match next summer in appreciation of )ii8 brilliant services for the county. Two O ne of the contents bills of the evening papers on Tuesday night struck oil, possibly without intending to do so, for we have reason to believe that the head­ lines at the top referred to a tragedy in the East End. But the result was as follows:— G H A S T L Y D I S C O V E R Y . YORKSHIRE FIND FRY AND KILLICK AT HOME. T he South African cricketers concluded their tour with a victory over Glamorgan­ shire. Their record is as follows :— Won. Lost. Drawn. Tie. Total.

Banjitsinbji himself has at present scored 2 ,2 4 9 . F. C. H olland scored 2 0 6 not out for the Surrey Second Elevenagainst Norfolk T h e following are some of the latest hundreds :— JULY 1 8 . G .
