Cricket 1907

A ug . 15, 1907. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 345 I n each of their matches last weak— against Surrey at the O?al, and Glouces­ tershire at Gloucester — Notts cime perilously near defeat, but drew the former match and won the other with only a couple of wickets to spare. They have now but three more games to play, against Derbyshire, Middlesex and Lan­ cashire, and it is only by being defeated twice that it will be possible for them to lose the Championship. They have per­ formed so well throughout the season, and have played the game ia so sports­ manlike a spirit, that the great majority accepted a scholastic appointment in Canada. For some little time past he h id been an assistant master at Colchester Grammar School. In a match at Cambrilge last Friday, between Caius Fellows and Trinity Fel­ lows, the former made 2 0 2 for six w ic k e t s (R. C. Punnett, 110) in an hour and then declared, leaving their opponents half- an-hour ia which to make 95 to w iD . The match was won off the last ball of the day with seven wickets to spare. against Harrow and the Woodbrook Club and Ground, in Ireland. This is an excellent record, and was brought about by all-round cricket of a high order. As many as six members of the side averaged over twenty runs an innings, whilst Hordern and Goodfallow are probably unmatched by any pair of Public School bowlers in England. Hordern, indeed, was the most useful man on the side, for, in addition to taking 110 wickets at a cost of 9'68 runs each, he occupied third place in the batting averages with the capital figures of 22 94.

They have undoubtedly been favoured by the many wet wickets ex­ perienced this year, and on a hard and sound pitch are certainly not so strong as Surrey. But they have beyond doubt shown the finest cricket of any side in the country, and are to be heartily con­ gratulated upon their success. M il e s T o w n se n d , who, with his brother “ C. L .,” has played for Glouces­ tershire on several occasions, has recently I t is announced that Braund, of Somerset, is to be accorded a benefit next season, but which match will be played for that purpose has not yet been decided. T h e tour of the Pennsylvania Univer­ sity team has passed into history, and, seeing that the side won 7 of the 15 matches played and lost only 2 , it must be acknowledged that they invaded England with most satisfactory results. They beat Clifton, Cheltenham, Marl­ borough,Winchester, Tonbridge, Charter­ house, and Dulwich, and succumbed only Their doings have been carefully chronicled in Cricket, which has, in fact, been the only paper—on this side of the Atlantic, at least,—to record their matches in full.
