L a n c a s h ir e cricket and cricketers have fustained a heavy loss in the death of S. R. Platt, of Oldham. The deceased who was a Vice-President of the Lan­ cashire County C.C., will always be held in grateful remembrance by Lancashire cricketers, as he was .one of three trus­ tees—Messrs. F. H. Hollins and J. Stanniug being the other two—of the Old Trafford Ground, the three having advanced the large sum necessary for its purchase. T h e next issue of Cricket will contain a sketch of the doings of the “ Incogniti Club,” during the seison of 1902—by “ K. T.” In this sketch “ R. T.” will summarise what the various members have done - and also make a reference to his own career—with an anecdote or two, so as to make the record an historical one in the pages of Cricket. The last match of the Incogniti season was played on Saturday last at Woolwich against the Royal Fusiliers. D r. C. T. A v e l i n g , whose name will be familiar to a great many Metropolitan cricketers, met with a tragic end on Friday last. Whilst bathing at Helston, Cornwall, he was answering the appeal of a nervous lady for help, when he died of heart disease. He was well known in connection with the Clapton Club, and had been for some years a member of the Surrey County C.C. A t Hastings yesterday Trumper obtained his eleventh century during the tour. Until the present season Mr. W. L. Murdoch had always been regarded as the finest batsman ever produced by Australia—a distinction which many good judges are now claim­ ing for Trumper. Personally, remember­ ing Murdoch’s great deeds, we consider the two names should be bracketed together. It is difficult to conceive any player showing finer form than Trumper has done during the past season. Y e s t e r d a y ’ s Evening Standard contained the following interesting remarks concerning the amount of success attending the efforts of “ the veterans ” during the past season:— “ Shrewsbury, who last year was thought hardly good enough to play for his county, is actually at the top of the list with an average of 50, a quite unusually high figure for such a season of rain. Shrewsbury was playing first-class cricket before some who have now given up the game were born, and his associa­ tion with Lillywhite in the getting up of the early visiting teams to Australia seems to take us a long way back. Abel, the next veteran on the list, has made more runs than any other English batsman, and W. G. Grace, who finished up with a very fine innings on Saturday, made when everyone else was failing, has a higher average than any of the Australian team, except Trumper. Perhaps the reason is that on slow wickets experience counts for more, and some increasing slowness of wrist or eye for less, than when the ball comes quickly from the pitch.” G o o d reports reach me of the batting ability of Arthur Howard, of Haileybury. He appeared this year in the Wellington match, but did nt.t play against Chelten­ ham. A short time ago he played a not - out innings of 160 against Hastings Club and Ground—a capital performance for a lad of seventeen. A FEW OF MEHTA’S BATTING AND BOW ­ LING PERFORMANCES.
