462 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. Nov. 28, 1907. University when he made the trip to Eng­ land. Lillywhite said of him :—“ A very good bat, watching the ball carefully. He has been regarded as a representative bats­ man. Bowls slow, with break from either side, and was at times very successful. Fine field.” In July he scored 125 against the Gentlemen of Liverpool and 142 in the match at the Oval with the Gentlemen of Surrey, coming out second in the averages to Mr. G. S.' Patterson with over 34 runs an innings. It was. in the last-mentioned game that the late Mr. W. W. Bead scored two separate hundreds, 105 and 130, and that the largest aggregate (1,150) obtained in a match' at the Oval up to that time was made. In addition to playing his great innings of 142 Mr. Scott took a dozen wickets, and it was no fault of his that it was found impossible to finish the match. For many years he was associated with the Belmont Club, for which he made some good scores. Mk. C. F itch K em p . Mr. Charles Fitch Kemp, the father of Messrs. A. F., C. W. M„ and M. C. Kemp, and the President of the Kent County C.O. n 1904, died at his residence, Foxbush, riildenboro, on October 31st, in his seventy- ninth year. He was born at Northwyck, Southminster, Essex, on June 29th, 1829, and was educated at Ongar Grammar School and the East and West India College. Mk. B. B. S w e et -E scott . Mr. Balph B. Sweet-Escott, a well-known Glamorganshire cricketer, Welsh inter­ national footballer, and representative lawn- tennis player, died at Johannesburg of enteric fever on the 10th inst. He belonged to a family many members of which had distin­ guished themselves in the world of sport. Mk. D. L. E vans . Mr David Linzee Evans died at West Down, near Bristol, on the 12th inst., aged 38. He was born in Gloucestershire in 1869 and was educated at Loretto, where he was in the Eleven for three years commencing in 1887 His best seasonwas that of 1889 when he averaged 24-73 with the bat and took twenty-eight wickets for 9 runs each. He was described in Lillywhite as “ An un­ certain bat, but vigorous and with plenty of “ go” : a steady, medium -paced to fast bowler, keeping them straight and fairly well- pitched ; a moderate field, but works hard the whole time.” In 1889, his last year at Loretto, he played a few times for Gloucester­ shire and, with a not-out innings of 50 against Sussex at Brighton as his highest score, made 70 runs in five completed innings. During the next two seasons he did practically nothing in the few county matches in which he appeared, and then, after an absence of two years from first-class cricket, he appeared for Somerset, for which he possessed a residential qualification. Against Surrey at the Oval in 1894 he played an innings of 60, and for the county that season scored 172 runs with an average of 17-20. The following year he made only 62 runs in the completed innings, and then dropped out of the game, though he con­ tinued to take part in minor matches. M r . L. M . M c L eod . Mr. Lewis Macdonald McLeod died at Cambridge on the 12th inst.,[as the result of an operation, at the early age of 23. He was in the Fettes XI. in 1901 aud two follow­ ing years, bis best season being that of 1903 when, in addition to obtaining a batting average of 23-25, he took 37 wickets at a cost 15-86 runs apiece. Proceeding to Cambridge, he appeared in the Freshmen’s match in 1904, when he scored 18 not out and took one wicket for 44 runs in the second innings. He was a Rugby football International, having appeared for Scotland againstEngland, Ireland and Wales ; he had also gained his Blue at Cambridge for Rugby and athletics. At his funeral, at Birkenhead on the 14th, it was found, after part of the service had been read, that the ground surrounding the grave had collapsed owing to the previous heavy rains. In consequence of this un­ fortunate occurrence the interment was post­ poned until the following day. A. P ik e . Arthur Pike, who kept wicket several times for Notts, in the mid-nineties, died at Key- worth, his native place, on the 15th inst., after a long illness. He was born on December 25th, 1862, and learnt his cricket with the Keyworth C.C., of which he con­ tinued a member for almost thirty years, although in the eighties he joined the Notts Commercial Club and afterwards accepted an engagement at Leyland. His best wicket- keeping seasons—he succeeded Sherwin and was followed by Oates—were 1896 and 1897, his record in the former year being 27 caught and 7 stumped and in the latter 23 caugth and 12 stumped. He scored freely when set, his highest innings being 66 v. Middlesex at Trent Bridge in 1896, 54 v. Surrey at the Oval the same year, and 50 v. Warwickshire at Edgbaston in 1894. His engagement at Lord’s dated back to 1895, and after his retirement from county cricket he frequently umpired in the great matches. J. A in ley .
