Cricket 1904

162 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 2, 1904 seen. Every Malvern boy will remember seeing Mr. Toppin walking round the ground during a match tossing a five- shilling piece from one hand to the other, and watching every stroke with the greatest keenness. One could easily tell b y the pace at whioh the coin moved from one hand to the other how the game was progressing.” “ This is not the first year that you have umpired in first-class cricket ? ” “ N o. I was appointed umpire three years ago, but before the next Beason the M .C.C. decided that no umpire who held a school or college appointment should be eligible for first-class county matches, and Louis Hall and I were accordingly left out, he because he was coach at Rugby, and I because I had an engagement at H ighgate School. Afterwards I left H ighgate School and went to Eastbourne College, where my engagement expired at the end of last season.” Comparing the duties of a cricket umpire and a football referee, M illward sa id :— “ I should say that the task of the referee is more difficult than that of the umpire. In the matter of decisions it is absolutely necessary to be prompt both in cricket and football, but as the players are rushing about in a football match, while the ball is kicked in all directions, it is perhaps less easy to see just what is happening than at cricket. I find that at football a prompt decision counts for a great deal, and that you must stick to your decision, otherwise players would naturally lose their confidence in you. M y experience is that if the players have confidence in a referee they give him no trou b le; it is the hesitating referee who has sometimes to put up with unpleasant­ ness. The more important the football m itch the easier are the duties of the referee, and I have been through league matches in which there have only been three or four stoppages in the entire game. One of the great differences between refereeing and umpiring is that the referee must keep in the very strictest training. F or myself I may say that in the winter I pay special attention to training, for, as a matter of fact, a referee has to cover more ground than any man on the field if he wishes to keep up with the ball. I am glad to say that I have never had any trouble with the players, and I have never had occasion to report any club or officials.” W . A. B e tt e sw o r tii . LONDON JOINT STOCK BANK (2nd XI.) y.

SCHOOL M A T C H E S * To Old Marlburians and Old Rugbeians the appearance of a book containing all the scores of the matches between tbe two schools will be most welcome. The scores are printed in clear type, and the book is a credit to the publishers as well as to the author, who has succeeded in obtaining the full bow ling analysis except for two or three of the earlier matches. Occasionally the author makes a footnote to a match, but only when something very unusual occurred during its progress. In his preface Mr. Andrew states that since 1854 Rugby has had 39 representatives in the University elevens, 22 of them at Oxford. Marlborough has had 28 representatives, of which 17 were at Oxford. H e adds that “ In the Cambridge eleven of 1858 there were four Marlburians. The Oxford eleven of 1868 contained five, and the spare man of that year was a Marlburian. Rugby has not had so many blues at the same time, but has been represented more con­ sistently. Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Marl­ borough and Winchestr have, in that order, given the University elevens of the last fifty years the largest number of members.” * “ Scores of the Cricket Matches between Rugby and Marlborough.
