Cricket 1904

262 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u ly 14, 1304 ETON v. HARROW. Played at Lord’s on July 8 and 9. Eton won by an innings and 12 runs. It was evident from the appearance of the ground at Lord’s on Friday and Saturday that there is little likelihood that the Eton v. Harrow match will be deposed for some time to come from its position as the leading event in the Society season. The weather was perfect, and during the periods of prom­ enading the scene was fascinating in the extreme. The cricket on the first day was very one-sided, for whereas Harrow were disposed of for 102, Eton made 375 for six wickets. For the most part the batting of the Harrovians was hesitating, and the players seemed disheartened by the loss of the first three wickets for 16 runs. The only man who rose to the occasion was Bolton, who played the bowling with the ease of a finished batsman. The Eton innings was chiefly noticeable for the fine display of D. C. Boles, who, going in first, played a careful and scientific game until he had made his hundred in three hours and three-quarters, when he began to hit out with such vigour that he made his next 80 runs in about three-quarters of an hour. Towards the end of his fine innings he made 19 off an over from Boles —four 4’s and a 3—and 16 off the next over from Reunert—four 4’s. His hits included twenty-seven 4’s. His total of 183 is a record for these matches. The straight drive by which he beat the previous record—152 by Sir Emilius Bayley, in 1841, was a very hard hit which the bowler just managed to touch with his fingers—the sort of hit which much more frequently results in a damaged finger than a catch. The partnership between Boles and W . T. Tod, who hit with great power, produced 143 runs in two hours, while that between Cumberbatch and Boles pro­ duced 175 in an hour and a half. Cumber­ batch was not out 42 at the close of play. R. E. H . Baily, the Harrow captain, was hit in the eye by a rising ball when keeping wicket and had to retire. On Saturday the remaining Eton batsmen sacrificed their wickets in the effort to make runs as quickly as possible, and Harrow went in a second time at a quarter to twelve with a balance of 297 against them. Har­ row made a most plucky effort to bring about a drawn game, and very nearly accom­ plished their object. They lost their first two wickets for 38, but Baily, who pluckily came out to bat with a shade over his eye, and Eiloart increased the score to 92, and things began to look a little better. Baily played a beautiful game for two hours and three-quarters, but when he was dismissed at 134 five wickets were down. As the next wicket fell at 145 the game seemed nearly over, but Crake then joined Brandt, and a stubborn resistance was offered to the bowling. The partnership produced 101 runs in two hours, and while it lasted Harrow always seemed to have a chance of saving the game. Both men played the right game, and their plucky stand was deserving of the very highest praise. When Crake was out, seven wickets were down for 248. The eighth wicket fell at 253, and the ninth at 268. When the last two men came together 39 runs were still required to avoid the innings defeat, and an hour and a quarter remained for play. For three-quarters of an hour the two plucky Harrovians, Morris and Hum­ phreys, held out, and their efforts to stave off disaster will long be remembered by the boys of the two schools. H arrow .

For this match Cambridge had to take the field without Napier. Payne, McDonell and Eyre, while Quaife, Lilley and H^rgreave were absent from the Warwickshire eleven. On the first day Warwickshire made 361 for seven wickets. The tail did very little on the next morninsr, and when the second day’s play ended Cambridge had made 820 for eight wickets, and were thus 62 runs behind. Keigwin played a strictly defensive innings, and was not out 116 when stumps were drawn. On the other hand Godsell. who also made a hundred, played a most attractive game. The two men between them made 227 out of 320. Tbere did not seem much chance that the match would be finished on Saturday, but Warwickshire declared with half their wickets down in the second innicgs, leaving Cambridge to make 291 in two hours and a-half. The result was a drawn game. In the course of his fine innings Fishwick made four 4’s and a 2 off an over from Hopley. W arw ickshire . First innings. Second innings. T. S.

I'layed at Blackpool on July 7, 8 and 9. England Eleven won by eight wickets. This was the second match of the Blackpool Week, the first having been a match in which the various Lancashire Leagues figured. As the game was not taken very seriously in the Lancashire seoond innings when there was a danger that the match would not last until tt>e Saturday, the change bowlers were tried wi’ h great Buroees, as far as prolonging the game was concerned. The success of the thr^e veterans, Peel, Abel and Ward, who have a’l dropped out of county cr.cket, was very marked. Ward did not bat in the first innings, but in the seoond was allowed to take the place of Poidevin. L ancashire . First innings. Second innings.
