Cricket 1905

110 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y 4, 1905 SU R R E Y COUNTY CR ICK E T CLUB . The follow ing is the report of the comm ittee: — The committee regret to have to state that the record for the county eleven in 1904 was of a very disappointing character. Hayward’s brilliant batting throughout was a conspicuous feature of the cricket season. Hayes’ play was of a consistently high order, and Lees’ bowling most effective. The hopeful feature of the season was the promising cricket displayed by some of the younger players in the later matches, the exceptionally fine all-round play of Mr. J. N. Crawford and the good form shown by Nice, Gooder, Davis and Goatly among others, justifying the belief that there are young players in the county worthy of the best traditions of Surrey cricket. As the result of the Testimonial Fund in recognition of Robert Abel’s distinguished services during the many years that have passed since his benefit, a sum of £464 12s. 3d. was raised. The thanks of the members are eminently due to Mr. H. B. Chinnery, who captained the eleven during the first six weeks of the season, and to Mr. J. E. Raphael, Lord Dalmeny, and the others who undertook the captaincy on later occasions. Notwithstanding the want of success of the eleven, the great interest shown by the public in the matches at the Oval was very satis­ factory, testifying to the continued popu­ larity of county cricket. The accounts show a profit of £364 15s. 4d. During the year 90 new members were elected. Up to date 3,173 members have paid their subscriptions for 1905. Home and home matches will be played in the County Championship with Essex, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Sussex, Notts, Warwickshire, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Middlesex, Derbyshire, Worcestershire, Yorkshire, Kent, and Northamptonshire, as well as with Cambridge University. One match with Oxford University will be played at the Oval on June 26, 27, and 28. The committee regret that owing to the action of Somerset in engaging W. Montgomery, they have felt unable to arrange matches with that county. Two matches will be played against the Australians, besides one against the Gentle­ men of England on Easter Monday. The fifth Test match between England and Australia will take place at the Oval on August 14th and following days. In the event of a tie at the end of the fourth Test match, this game will be played to a finish. The Gentlemen will oppose the Players at the Oval on July 17th, 18th and 19th. The match between the Champion County and England will take place at the Oval on September 14th, 15th and 16th, the whole proceeds being equally divided as last year between tho Cricketers’ Fund and the London Playing Fields Committee. Lord Dalmenyhas undertaken the captaincy for the early part of the season. The committee have decided to appoint a cricket coach for young players, and have selected Mr. W . W. Read for the coming season. The committee deeire to place on record their high appreciation of the valuable services rendered by Mr. W. T. Graburn, during the many years he acted as cricket instructor. The following members of the committee retire by rotation, and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election :— R . K .
