Cricket 1903

CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. O ct . 39, 1903. have been sent out over the hills, and the rivers have been scoured, but without success. Mr. Marshall has had a brilliant career as an athlete, for, in addition to btiog a very fine cricketer, he has also represented Canterbury on the football field, and has held the lawn-tennis championship of the colony. T he bawling of W. M. Bradley in the match between the Kent team and New York aroused the enthusiasm of the Brooklyn Eagle . Thus: — Not a little entertainment was furnished by W. M. Bradley, the fast Kent bowler, who was put on for a few overs late in the after­ noon. His delivery is on the circus order and tends to discomfit the batsman even more than the speed of his ball. Taking a long start back of the crease, he runs, with the aid of some jerky skips, to the wicket. There he raises himself to his full height, crosses his outstretched arms above his head and propels the ball in the direction of the shivering batsman. His effectiveness is clearly shown by his figures of yesterday. He bowled in all nine­ teen balls, secured three wickets, and gave in return a solitary run. THE NEW COLONIAL SECRETARY. With the political record of the Hon. Alfred Lyttelton, who has succeeded Mr. Chamberlain as Colonial Secretary, cricketers, as cricketers, have nothing to do, but it may be interesting to them if we refer briefly to Mr. Lyttelton’s career in tbe cricket field. For Eton he played four times against Harrow, but it was not until he went to Cambridge tbat he began to shew what a great player he was. He gained his Blue as a Freshman, and represented Cambridge against Oxford for four years, in the last of which he was captain. He was quite as good behind the wicket; as with the bat, and he speedily gained the reputation of being the best amateur wicket-keeper of bis time. His batting was delightful to watch, for it was graceful, and he never allowed the grass to grow under his feet; one could be) certain of seeing many beautiful hits and hard drives if he remained for more than a few minutes at the wicket. His partnership with Mr. I. D.Walker, which produced 324 runs for Middlesex against Gloucestershire in 1883, at Clifton, a record at the time, will long be remem­ bered by those who saw it. No Gentle­ men’s eleven was considered complete without him, and in 1884 he deservedly gained a place in the England eleven against Australia. During the match he twice went on to bowl lobs, his place at the wicket being taken by Dr. W. G. Grace, who caught Midwinter off his bowling. Pressure of work prevented Mr. Lyttelton from playing regularly in first-class cricket, but he was one of the few men who can bat successfully with­ out any practice, and any team would have been glad to welcome him even if he had not held a bat in his hands for months. At Cambridge he gained his blue for tennis, rackets, football and athletics, as well as at cricket. He held the M.C.C. gold racket many years, was amateur tennis cham­ pion, and gained his cap for Eogland in Association football. He is a son of Lord Lyttelton, and a brother of the Hon. Edward Lyttelton (the present head master of Haileybury, who shared many of his triumphs on the cricket field), General Sir Neville Lyttelton, and Lord Cobham. CRICKET IN UNITED STATES.

Though none of the Philadelphian cricketers who had been to England were assisting, the United States had a very easy victory in this match, the thirty-sixth of the series played at Toronto on August 24 and 25. The scoring was surprisingly small, con­ sidering that it was an easy wicketj no batsmen on either side getting into the forties. Norris and O’Neill bowled throughout the two innings of Canada. The fielding of the United States Team was very good. U nited S tates . First innings. J. L. Evans, b Baber ... L. A.
