Cricket 1905

236 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 29, 1905. book there are very few mistakes, and the biographies have been brought up to the beginning of May of this year. The mere list of schools, with the menwhom theyhayeturned out, is of the deepest interest, and it is surprising how few men from some of the best known schools have played for their University, while other schools, less well known, have been exceptionally fortunate. Space will not allow us to make any further references to the book, which is as necessary to every old Blue, as is the Clergy List to a parson, while it is infinitely more interesting. Mr. Betham is indeed to be congratulated on the happy idea which has occurred to him. A CR ICKET H IS T O R Y * This book forms as attractive a history of the Cheltenham Week as could be desired. The score of all the matches are shown in full, with concise introductions, which give the reader all the particulars which are necessary to understand the progress of the game and any important points about it. There are not many statistics—just enough to be of interest. Mr. Taylor gives a short history of the Week, which has been a success from its institution in 1878. It is notable that no individual innings of 200 has ever been played during the Week, although among other innings which were played on the Chelten­ ham College Ground before the Week was originated, is the 318 not out by Dr. Grace for Gloucestershire against Yorkshire in 1876. The greatest amount taken during a Week is £1,095 10s. in 1899, when the Australians and Surrey played Gloucestershire; the greatest amount for a day is £374 15s., on a Thursday in 1896, Australians v. Gloucester­ shire. The book contains many interesting photographic reproductions referring to the Week, "end is well worth the price at which it is sold. Mr. Taylor acknowledges his indebtedness to Mr. Harry Bennett, the Sports Editor of the Cheltenham Echo and Chronicle. * The Cheltenham Cricket Week, 1878 to 1904. By Alfred D. Taylor. The Cheltenham Newspaper Co. Price 6d. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY v. M.C.C. AND GROUND. Played at Lord’s on June 26 and 27. M.C.C. won by four wickets. The Cambridge team gave a most disappointing display in this match against a very weak M.C.C. team. There were no fewer than six ducks eggs in their first innings, and Mann and Payne alone could make any resistance to the bowling. Most of the M.C.C. team did nearly as badly, but Captain Wyn­ yard played a great game for a couple of hours, making hay of the bowling, and Tarrant did well. At the end of the first day M.C.C. had made 227 for eight wickets against 109 by Cambridge. Yesterday Cambridge did better, Eyre and Colbeck especially distinguishing themselves. But the M.C.C. only had to make 81 to win, and in this easy task they lost six wickets. C ambridge U niversity . First innings. C. IL Eyre, b Mead .......... R. P.

Worcestershire won by an innings and 207 runs. The Leicestershire team were indeed unfortunate in this match, for after Worcestershire had made 442 on a perfect wicket rain mined their prospects on the next day. Bowley and Arnold put up 216 in a little less than two hours for the fourth wicket. Bowley was in brilliant form and made his 217 mns, his highest innings in county cricket, in four hours, his first hundred being made out of 167in two hours and three-quarters. He hit two 6’s and thirty-four 4’s. When stumps were drawn Arnold was not out 121, and nine wickets were down for 442. He increased this total by 13 on Tuesday morning, and his entire innings of 134—his first hundred for a very long time—lasted for three hours and-a-half. Leicester­ shire made an exceedingly bad start, and half the side were out for 22. Crawford made 32in a quarter of an hour, but when the total was 59 for six, rain came and there was no more play until after lun­ cheon. The innings came to an end on a wet wicket for 137, and as this meant a balance against them of 320, Leicestershire were made to follow on, with a result wliich was disastrous to them, although it enabled Worcestershire to win their first county match of the season.

Eight of the Derbyshire men made double figures in their first innings, but the highest score was 35, so that the total was not large. But Essex lost three wickets for 79 before stumps were drawn, with M’Gahey not out 38 and Major Turner not out 7. The latter played a fine game on Tuesday, and had the pleasure of making his hundred after a stay at the wickets of two hours and twenty minutes; his hits included fourteen 4’s. Tosetti helped him to put on 133 mns in an hour and a quarter. Essex had a lead of 34 on the first innings and as they then dismissed Derbyshire for 150 they had the very easy task of making 117 to win. There was quite a remarkable breakdown in the Derbyshire batting, for when 100 mns were up there was but a single wicket down. Ashcroft and Cadman both played a fine game. The last seven wickets fell for 24 runs against the bowling of M’Gahey and Tremlin. Before stumps were drawn Essex made 31 without loss, so that with all their wickets in hand they only required 86 to win yesterday. A little luck at last came in the way of Perrin and he carried his bat for 32. D erbyshire . First innings. L. G.
