Cricket 1906

J une 21, 1906. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. twenty-four wickets, as the result of his first four appearances in county cricket can have had few, if any, parallels. A l t h o u g h by playing Dr. Grace’s team at the Crystal Palace Cambridge were by no means severely tested on their first appearance in London, they showed themselves to be a very capable team, with some good bowling. Napier would do better if his slips were nearer the wicket. During the Crystal Palacematch at least half-a-dozen balls arrived to them first bound, and at leist half-a- dozen more went only a few inches out of their reach over-head—all these hits would have been chances if the slips had not been so far back. In fielding some of the team are inclined to be careless, but on the second day there was very little fault to be found with anybody. Page is brilliant. I t is very seldom indeed that a score presents so remarkable an appearance as that which was made by Surrey on Mon­ day at Bristol. It will be seen that Haywarl scored 100 while four other men were making 25.

G. Steel and C. T. Studd appeared first in the score of I Zingari. C. T. Studd, the old Cambridge Blue, has been in India for some time since he left China, but is again iu England, while A. G. Steel is the K. C. who gained undying fame as a cricketer for England, Lancashire and Cambridge. Another well-known cricketer who has been in India for some time is now in England, namely Mr. R. Jardine, the old Oxford Blue. T he team which represented I Zingari in the Eton match contained the names of many well-known cricketers. Thus:— A. G. Steel, C. T. Studd, E. M. Dowson, C. P. Foley, P. J. De Paravicini and C. M. Wells all gained fame at Cam­ bridge, while R. E. Poster, H. D. G. Leveson-Gower, H. R. Bromley-Dtven- port and Lord George Scott are equally well-known as Oxford Blues. I n looking through the averages whioh were published on Monday one could not but be struck with the fact that in batting five out of the first six men are Southerners—Hayward, Perrin, Arnold, Bowley and W. M. Turner—while in the bowling all the first six are Northerners —Wass, Haigh, Cuttell, Hirst, Hallam and Bestwick. I t it reported that there was so heavy a hailstorm at Windsor on Saturday that the hailstones had to be swept away from the pitch in the middle of an innings. Presumably the in-side did not object to this little violation of the rules, but it is a pity that the incident did not occur in a league match. T h a t there is no lack of enterprise among the leaders of sport in New Zealand was proved conclusively by the thoroughness of all the arrangements in connection with the visit of the “ All Blacks ” to the Old Country last football season. In contrast with the remarkable financial success of that tour, one can only regretfully note the faot that the recent visit of the Melbourne Club team to New Zealand resulted in a loss of £111 to the authorities who have the control of cricket affairs there. My attention has been called, and by several correspondents, to a mistake in last week’s Pavilion Gossip. I was certainly wrong in stating, as I un­ doubtedly did, that Tyldesley’s 295 against Kent was the highest score ever made by a Lancashire cricketer. How, in view of A. C. MacLaren’s 424 for Lancashire v. Somerset at Taunton in July, 1895, which I remember full well, the mis-statement was retained in Gossip, it would serve no purpose to try to explain. The fact remains, and I can only repeat Peccavi. I n the match between Warwickshire and Hampshire at Birmingham four of the first five wickets fell on the Thursday to Ibw. This, in its way, is a curiosity. The score reads as follows:— W arw icksh ire .
