Cricket 1902

A u g . 14, 1902. CRIOKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 339 luck to get 99. I enjoyed the novelty of I. the dissecting room very much, for I take a ' great interest in anatomy—having passed two examinations in first aid and attended several operations, amputations, and post­ mortem examinations. I do not want you to think that I have actually used the knife on these occasions, nor would I have you get the idea that I have simply been an idle spectator. My duties to the doctors were verymuch the sameas those of a scene shifter to a theatrical company. I would advise every one to make a study of the human body—the knowledge is so useful both on and off the cricket field.’’ Mr. Frank tells of an amusing circum­ stance which occurred in a match at Inver­ ness. “ A ball was hit into the long field,” he said, ‘ •when Frank Sugg brought off a very fine catch near to the ground ; he made no demonstration about it, but threw the ball to Storer (our wicket-keeper) who put down the wicket and appealed for run out, the decision being given against the batsman. Briggs, who was always allowed to do a bit of clowning, even in first-class cricket, was the bowler, and he appealed for the catch, which was also given against the batsman. In other words, the men were given out together. We all grasped the situation, and remarked that we had never seen a case like it before, The umpires seemed to place great dependence upon the decision of Chatterton as a way out of the difficulty ; his ruling was that if the umpires had given their decision, the rules of the game were distinct on the point ; they could not withdraw it. So both batsmen started for the pavilion. It seemed very absurd, especially as one of the batsmen wore his braces over his cricket-shirt. There were several English officers on the ground when this occurred and we thought they would enjoy the joke, but I am sorry to say that they took it the wrong way and thought the match a mereburlesque. Of course, after a little consultation, one of the men returned and the game proceeded.” “ Have you any ideas as to the cause of the great success of the Yorkshire team?” “ I attribute it chiefly to the profound interest taken by Lord Hawke in his men both on and off the field. A man cannot be a successful captain unless the members of his team have such a respect for him and his judgment that they are prepared to makeany sacrifice he wishes even if it be against their interests and averages. You have doubtless often heard the Yorkshire team referred to as ‘ The Happy Family,’ and such isthe case. They are a good lot of fellows, independent of their cricket. On the evening of the annual gathering at Wighill Park about September 20th, when Lord Hawke invites the team to spend the day with him, it is almost pathetic to hear his lordship’s farewell speech to those with whom he has striven so hard during the season to successfully retain the laurels of county cricket. It is easy to comprehend the whole team look forward to the great event, for a more enjoyable, peace ful and happy day it is not possible to imagine. Ceremony is conspicuously absent. Tennis, croquet and billiards are the order of the day. These games are played with equally as much zest as even county cricket. For instance, imagine Jack Brown and David Denton at croquet! I should like to know who ever saw the former give any thing away at any game? After having enjoyed a most sumptuous repast, John Tunnicliffe rises to propose the toast of the evening, viz., “ The health of Lord Hawke.” It is not generally known that John (the walking encyclopedia) is a bom orator. He surprises everyone by the amount of pathos which he puts into his oration, especially when he refers to the fact that the cricket season is over—for the time being they must part and say good-bye. His lordship’s reply is brief but pithy, and is delivered in a tone of honest sincerity which always characterizes his speeches. When he comes to the point, that his career as captain must in thenear future cease, his utterances become grave and sad, for it is well known that cricket has been part of his life. It will be a sony day for Yorkshire when he resigns the captaincy. Let us hope that hemaywith all celerity followthe exampleof his colleague, Mr. F. S. Jackson, and take to himself a partner who will make himhappy for the rest of his days.” W. A. B e t t e s w o r t h . S T R E A T H A M v. U P P E R T O O T IN G .—Played at Streatham on A ugust 4.
