Cricket 1907

234 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 27, 1907. S et 217 to win in 90 minutes, after Charlton Park had declared their innings closed at 216 for nine wickets, Blackheath made 232 for six wickets in 85 minutes on their opponents’ ground on the 19th inst. H. D. Banning, with 64, obtained the highest score. Three days later, Blackheath, playing on their own ground against Bickley Park, declared their innings closed with the score 500 for six (Banning, 127*)- I t is reported by the New Zealand Cricket Council that the guarantees received in connection with the recent tour of the M.C.C. team totalled £2,850. The net proceeds of the matches realised £1,579, and other receipts £99. The expenditure upon the tour amounted to £■2,600. D e tails have just reached me of a good bowling performance at Man- cbioneal, Jamaica, on May U tb, by A. Gale. Playing for Port Antonio against a combined team of the Morant Bay, Ross Craig, P. G. River, Darling, and Bell Castle Clubs, the cricketer named took all ten wickets in an innings of 44 at a cost of but ten runs. The f >llowing is the score: — C o m b in a t io n T e a m .

T h e following anonymous post-card came to hand on Monday morning last:— “ Curious that in the Surrey v. Middlesex match at Lord’s last week Warner should have made so many runs on a ‘ Plum ’ wicket, and that Crawford should not have been put on to bowl in either innings until the batsmen were well set. Possibly Lord Dalmeny thought it better for Crawford (in spectacles) to wait till the ‘ Hayes ’ cleared off.” I am glad my correspondent did not go so far as to ask, “ What did C. B. Fry at Liverpool ? ” P l a y in g for St. Edmund’s, Canter­ bury, against Wye College on Saturday last, R. H. Spooner had some useful practice. He hit twenty-eight 4’s in an innings of 126. In the last issue of Cricket it was men­ tioned, on page 220, that in the second innings of Sussex against Yorkshire, at Sheffield, a shower fell, and that the ball was rendered so greasy that a towel was used to wipe it. In many quarters the event has been stated to be unprecedented, but, if I mistake not, C. T. Studd, whilst bowling in the Eton v. Harrow match of 1879, received assistance in a precisely similar manner. I may take this oppor­ tunity of also remarking that H. T. C. I Blackwood’s 159 for Stade Franoais v. Racing Club de France, on the 9th inst., does not rank as a French record, as many have supposed. So far as I am aware, Captain Greig’s 239 for Visitors v. Residents, at Dinard, still holds pride of place. M. G. B erwick , aged 13, has this reason taken forty-four wickets for 64 runs in the Elementary Schools’ League for the Boys’ British Sch<ol, Tamworth Road, Croydon. On one occasion he obtained four wickets in four balls, and has twice performed the hat-trick. W. E. B aths , a son of the well-known cricketer of the same name who played for Yorkshire from 1877 until 1887, was given a trial in the County’s 2nd X I. against Northumberland at Newcastle this week. He thoroughly justified his inclusion by an innings of 126 not out. P laying for Gentlemen of Worcester­ shire against Gentlemen of Staffordshire, at Worcester, on Tuesday last, W. B. Burns scored 171 in 115 minutes. He hit an 8 and twenty-seven 4’s. E. W. E lliot , who recently iejigne l the Captaincy of the Durham County Eleven, wib in a hitting vein on Satur­ day. Playing for Sunderland against Eppleton, on the latter’s ground, he scored 74 in 25 minutes, his hits being 4, 4, 6, 4, 6, 4, 4, 6, 6,4, 4,6, 4, 6,1, 4,1. M essrs .
