Cricket 1910

A p r il 14, 19 to. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 59 It will be seen that, whilst many good run-getters are included, the chief strength of the side is its bowling. It was expected that the Hamilton O.O. would be met on March 15th and 16th, the Garrison or Army and Navy on March 17th and 18th, and All Bermuda on March 19th and 21st. T h e American Cricketer announces that H , J. Heygate, the captain of the Ottawa C.C., and the best batsman in Canada, will be unable to play any cricket this summer. He has left Ottawa for Northern Ontario and will remain in the northern wilds for nearly eight months, where he will have charge of a survey party in connection with the work of construction on the Grand Trunk Pacific. M e . J, H . G o r d o n , the Winchester, Oxford University and Surrey cricketer, was recently married in Philadelphia. S ir T hom as L ip to n has given a five hundred dollar cup to be competed for by the Atlantic Steamship Athletic Associa­ tion, which comprises the Cunard, White Star, Anchor, American and Atlantic Transport Lines. All the games will be played in New York, but it will be impossible for all the teams to meet each other. REN EW ING THE FEU D . P l a y in g for Quilmes v.

I remember your visages well; Though somehow it seems that the rust and the must Have strangely affected your smell. Hullo, Mr. Turf! You look lovely and green, And your creases are square-cut and white. But where are those patches and footholds and rubs ? You strike unfamiliarly quite. Hullo, M»*. Wicket! I hope you don’t bow, Nor screen a cantankerous rot, For I’m bent upon tickling your stately old ribs As soon as I hit on a spot. One short at the tip you’d make a fine slip If I pitched on some silly point in you. Or if off-break of mine made you break a mid-off, So I hope a long-on you’ll continue! Hullo, Mr. Bat! You are looking quite fa t; Your surface seems ready for stroking. (No wish to offend !—you cannot intend To cut an acquaintance for joking. If chestnuts I crack, you can surely play back, Not stick your stiff neck up so high. You fine polished blade, so upright aud staid, Keep the wax to your neat twisted tie!) ’ THE BAT. “ You fast, jumped-up fellow, please keep in your place, Or your cover I’ll fetch such a clout! If your plebeian hide comes in contact with me I’ll knock all your stuffing clean o u t! I give you fair warning. My mission in life Is to cut short the flight of such bounders; I’m filling a book up with scores upon scores Off you bowl’d little upstarting grounders.” THE SEQUEL. “ That for your mission ! ” said Leathery-nob, As the bat’s chilly shoulder he leapt at. “ That for your bounce! ” said the elegant snob, As the impudent trimmer he swept at. “ A zat?” cried a voice, as the buffetted ball Sought the sheltering Glove’s embrace; And the cross-grained bat got finely caught out, And was carried away in disgrace. And then such a dressing they gave him before He was cast into Greenbaize Gaol, Where he lay while the umpires called over and over, Then sadly stumped out on bail! P ott . THE CRICKET CARN IVAL IN BR IT ISH GU IANA .* In October last Mr. W. C. Sheppard cap­ tained a touring team in British Guiana for the third time, and a record of the matches played by the side has been issued by The Argosy Company, of Georgetown, in a pam­ phlet of 76 pages. In one respect, at least, the visit proved noteworthy, inasmuch as it enabled British Guiana to run up a total of 529 and thereby establish a West Indian record. * The Cricket Carnival; being an Account oj Shep­ pard's Third Tour in British Gv.iana.
