Some phenomenal hitting was done by W. Cameron at Howe Park on King’s Birthday. The match between Waverley- Paddington and Singleton had concluded aud the visitors sent Singleton in to have another hit. After two or three wickets had fallen W. Cameron walked to the creases, and, speedily getting a sight of the ball, com­ menced to bang the bowling. In one over from Howard, who was bowling with the wind, Cameron hit the whole six balls clean over the fence—36 runs. The metropolitan men asked Howard to continue bowling, and said to Cameron, “ Go on Billy, have a hit.” Meanwhile the fieldsmen went outside the ground, which is as large as the Sidney Cricket Ground, and stationed themselves on fences and trees to see if they could catch him out. Cameron “ let himself go,” aud hit Howard clean out of the ground 17 times from 19 balls. The 102 runs were scored in less than ten minutes. As the ball went soaring over the fences, the Sydney men shouted their delight in unison with the spectators, and, finding they could not reach it with their hands, threw their hats after the ball. After twenty minutes at the creases, during which he scored about 140 in boundary hits, and hit two balls where they could not be found, Cameron was still unconquered, and was escorted off the field by his admiring comrades. The Sydney men regard Cameron as a marvel, and A. C. K. Mackenzie, the captain of the visitors, says he has never seen such clean and consistent hard hitting in all his experience of the game. “ Billy ” Cameron, who lives at Rouchel, travels between 50 and 60 miles to play with Singleton C.C., and is one of the most popular and unassuming cricketers in the State .—Singleton Argus, Nov. 17//?, 1909. [The above performance cannot be accepted as a record, inasmuch as the laws of cricket were not recognised during its accomplishment. Howard delivered nineteen balls in succession, pitching them as nearly as possible on the spot most favour­ able for hitting.—Ed. Cricket 1 GEORGE LEW IN & Co., (Established 1869.)
