Cricket 1901

438 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. q c t . 31, 1901. quet, who was the top scorer with a freely hit 44, was missed when he had made a few. The honours on the New York side fell to Kelly, who took eight of the ten wickets at a cost of 56 runs. The only feature of New York’ s second innings was the steady batting of Dalton, who was in an hour and a half for his 19. The English captain was this time the most successful bowler. His seven wickets were got at an average of just over three runs apiece. With only 55 runs to win and an hour left, the hitters on the English side were sent in. Mitchell and Crawford knocked up 30 in a quarter of an hour, then both were caught with the total at 36. Dowson and More were soon dismissed, but Schwarz stayed until the match was finished. The Englismen won by seven wickets and with a quarter-of-an-hour to spare. K n ic k e r b o c k e r A t h l e t ic C l u b First innings. S. B.

The weather, though fine, was rather cold when this match was begun at Mannheim on October 4th. Unlucky enough to lose the toss again the English­ men had to field while the Philadelphians batted on an excellent wicket. Bohlen and Morris took full advantage of it, and the first wicket put on 93. Lester, who played so well in the first match was soon dismissed, as was his successor, King. Brown, after a bad start, settled down, and with Graves another stand was made. Jordan, who followed the latter, stayed with Brown, while 50 runs were added, and at the end of the first day the latter was still in with 84 to his credit. On the following morning Brown added 19, including two fine hits to the top of the stand, and was then out. His 103, a fine innings, is the only score of a hundred made by an American cricketer against a visiting team since 1892. The innings eventually closed for 312, The batting of the English team was very disappointing. King not only bowled well, but made the ball swerve a good deal from the off. The only stand in the early part was by Bosanquet and Mitchell. The former played the better cricket, and was out to a fine catch at extra cover. The best innings on the side was that of Schwarz, who carried out his bat for a really good 33. When the Philadelphians went in a second time no serious resistance was offered to Dowson and More till Lester and Brown got together. They both put on 70 runs while they were together by excellent cricket. Lester’s 69 included a fine hit over the ropes for 6. With 333 to win the Englishmen had no easy task. As it was they never looked like making a fight of it, and Mitchell, Hollins, Dowson and Schwarz alone got into double figures. Schwarz again played really good cricket, and Hollins hit freely. Clark’s bowling this time did the mischief. He got his last five wickets in seven balls. G- e n t l e m e n o p P h il a d e l p h ia . First innings. Second innings. O. M. R. W . O. M. R. W.

On the first night the English team were the guests of the Knickerbocker A.A. at a dinner, and also witnessed a water polo match between the K.A.C. and the Union B.C., got up for their entertainment. T H E C A N A D I A N M A T C H . ( f if t h o f t h e t o c r .) P layed at Toronto on O ctober XI and 12. E nglishm en w on b y an innings and 7 runs. On October 10, the team without Mitchell, who had left for home with a view to return to South Africa, reached Niagara, and after inspecting the falls, &c., went on to Toronto. The Duke and Duchess of York were there at the same time, so that the match suffered considerably by the counter attractions. The Canadians won the toss, but the majority failed before the bowling of Dowson, who took seven wickets, for 51 runs. When the Englishmen went in Hollins hit freely, and at the end of the day Bosanquet and Crawford scored fast, being not out 92 and 33 respectively. Bosanquet was badly missed when he had made 45, a costly mistake. The second innings of the home team was only noteworthy for a freely hit 40 by Lyon. More was unable to play owing to illness. In an exhibition game to fill up the afternoon Crawford did some sensa­ tional batting. He sent three balls over the club’s house, two a long way over the grand stand, one into it, one into the club-house, and one into the grand stand beside it. The score book showed, 4, 4, 6, 6, 4, 6, 6, as his seven last hits. He made 66 in about fifteen minutes. C a n a d a . G en t l e m e n o f P h il a d e l p h ia . C. C.
