Cricket 1909

A u g u s t 19, 1909. CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 347 “ This, w hen interpreted,” says M r. H am ilton, “ means that one side was dismissed for 26, and that th e ir opponents ran up 135 for seven wickets. B u t,” he adds, “ I do not quite understand w hy the defeated side should be called “ A m b i­ tion.” A n o t h e r correspondent, w riting from Poona, sends me a second interesting piece o f descriptive w ritin g in the shape o f the appended letter to an Indian jo u rn a l:— CORRESPONDENCE. A SCHOOL BOY'S COMPLAINT. To the Editor of the Daily Telegraph and DeccanHerald. Sir, —I beg through your medium to draw the kind attention of the Secretary and others of the Athletic Sport Club for boys with respect to “ Umpires.’ ' In tho Shield-match either Senior or Junior generally the teachers of the respective schools or often boys or men with little knowledge of Cricket-rules become Umpires and when often dispute arises it turns out a serious matter and grumblings of the injured party have 110 limits. For however upright and angel­ like Umpires may be, but when there is an exciting game only exerting for 2 or 5 runs to win, their hearts are voluntarily melted to show partiality and arc tempted to decide in their own side’s favour anyhow. And thus the other party is greatly wronged and loses the game also. So cannot the authority redress this grievance by kindly appoint­ ing two neutral Umpires, who have no concerns whatsoever with any of the contending schools and who must possess knowledge of the cricket rules, when both the parties will be satisfied and no more grumblings afterwards about being duped. On the fixed day those appointed umpires only should be invited to watch and decide the game. I trust the heads of other schools, whether wronged or otherwise, will join and concur with my opinion and suggestion. Yours obediently, K. S. D o c t o r , Student. The reference to “ upright and angel­ like um pires” w ould have delighted the heart o f “ F .G .” D u r in g the interval in the match between Derbyshire F ria rs and L in co ln L in d um , at D erby on Monday, M r, George Bainbridge B arrin gton was pre­ sented w ith a tea and coffee service and silver salver in recognition of his record for the F ria rs from 1878 to 1908. D u rin g that period he scored 20,010 runs w ith an average o f 38'62, m aking forty-four centuries. H e was 85 times not out. R . G.

White Horse jumps clear and “ Go hard ! ” holloas Kent, Clapping with volleys like the pelting hail, “ Go hard ! ’’— and hard he goes— “ but don’t go stale! ” The Roses twain, close jostling for place, May either, if he cracks, still win the race ; But that’s not likely, and they’re 2 and 3, Or Red or White, for moral certainty. Fo r 4 the Hove and Oval fav’rites fig h t; The Prince’s horse is plainly far from rig h t: His bit seems bothering and he, indeed, Looks more a champing than a champion steed. And so the lack-leg Martlet, spite that sign, Keeps drawing on (and creeping like a vine) Yet dawd.ing, still, may earlier arrive Than one who runs ten steps to prance back five. Strange clim ax! But not stranger than the shout The charter’d bookies constantly give out, As “ 73 point 33 to none ! ” Or “ Minus 84 point 61! ’’ But, heeding not these fearsome cryptic odds, The public marks tbe finish, and applauds, Coutent—whatever M.C.C.’s decide on— To watch the gee-gees as they gamely ride on.

Perrin, died on the 12th inst. at Suffolk House, Woodberry Down, Finsbury Park, in his forty-fourth year. He was a hard-hitting and free-scoring batsman, who would have made a name for himself had he elected to devote his energies to first-class cricket. In club matches he made many large scores, including 209 not out for Tottenham v. Wanstead in July, 1899, and 247 not out for Crouch End against Lauderdale in June of the following year. The latter innings was played on the Crouch End ground after Lauderdale had been dismissed for 100. He and A. E. Crang (123) made 363 for the first wicket, the first three hundred runs being obtained in 105 minutes. Crouch E n d ’s final score was 390 for one wicket. SUFFOLK v. BEDFORDSHIRE.
