Cricket 1902

400 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. S ept . 4, 1902. ATHLETES AT BOW STREET. The following is from last week’s Punch , which also contains another cricketing case at Bow Street in the person of the Australian captain, and a cartoon representing the Lion and the Kangaroo. This week’s Punch also has a cricketer at Bow Street, and some verses on Trumper’s b a t:—- On the Bm ch : Mr. A. G. Steel, K.O., Mr. Andrew Lang, Mr. A. J. Webbe, Mr. John B ill, Junior, Mr. N. L. Jackson, and Mr. Thomas Morris. The following cases were heard : - William Gilbert Grace, 54, doctor, was charged with the heinous offence of perpetual youth. Sir Robert Giffen, who appeared for the prosecution, said that the prisoner persisted in getting younger every year, to the confusion of all statistics, and the despair of honest bowlers. Only a few days ago the prisoner, in defiance of all consideration for the feelings of the young men who were playing and looking on, had made his two-hundredth century in first-class cricket; while his attacks on the wickets of his enemies were con­ tinuous and successful. Mr. L. B. W. Schooling, who said that he was an actuary employed by the Boyal Blob Insurance Company, stated that that Company had been founded with a capital of 50,000 runs to insure cricketers against making ducks They refused, as a rule, to take anyone over forty-five. [The prisoner wasan exception. Dr. Andrew Gaukrodger, medical officer for Sydenham, said that since the prisoner came to reside in the neighbour­ hood, he had set such an example of health that the incomes of the general practitioners in the district had fallen at least 50 per cent. Sir James Crichton Browne stated that in his opinion, after a long study of the subject, the proper age for a cricketer finally to exchange the field for the pavilion chairs was forty-three, unless, of course, he wts addicted to Harris tweeds, in which cate he would be useless much earlier. For a man to make hundreds when he was fifty-four was a menace to the medical profession. Mr. Wullie Park, manufacturer of golfing implements, said that the usual age at which a man turned from the frivolity of cricket to the sairiousness of gowf was thirty-seven. They still waited to take the” prisoner’s order, but in vain. It wasna’ fair to trade. Mr. Melchizedek Jones, a solicitor, representing the family of Old Parr, speaking for the defence, stated that old as that impressive figure had grown to be, there was no evidence that he ever gave up cricket. In spite of this interesting parallel the Bench unanimously condemned the prisoner to many more years hard labour in the field. (Applause in Court.)
