Cricket 1911

232 CEICKET: A WEEKLY EECOKD OP THE GAME. J un e 10, 1911. 211, F. C. G. Naumann 76 and extras 51. Mr. Foster’s side scored 396 and 254 for four wickets, W. B. Burns making 85 and 115 not out, G. N. Foster 95 and 38 and H. K. Foster 61. Altogether, 1,198 runs were obtained in the match for twenty-four wickets. I n the match between Prahran and Northcote in Melbourne on April 22nd, one of the umpires, through a miscount, allowed C. Rogers to bowl twelve balls. T. Rush caught O’Leary off the fifth ball, and seven more were sent down before ‘ ‘ over ’ ’ was called. M e . F. F. K e l l y writes :— ‘ ‘ On May 20th, F. Hawley> playing for Cameron C.C., at Van Courtlandt Park, New York, against St. George, played an innings of 190, the highest individual score ever made in New York. The previous best was H. Tyers’ 170 not out for New Jersey A.C. v. Elizabeth in 1893, when he and M. R. Cobb (126 not out) put up 305 without being separated for the first wicket. In the match in which Hawley so distinguished himself, the Cameron C.C. made 332 for seven wickets after dismissing the St. George C.C. for 21.” M b . A r t h u r R. M o r r i s o n , Hon. Secretary of the Winnipeg Cricket Association, in a letter dated May 15th, kindly writes : “ You will be glad to hear that the pros­ pects are bright for a very successful year, and I have no doubt the game will go ahead in the West this year as it never did before. In addition to our local fixtures, a Philadelphian team will visit Winnipeg in August and the Western Canada Tournament takes place at Indian Head in the first week of August. We hope to make the latter a very pronounced success, as there appears every possibility of British Columbia sending in a team for the “ Week.” We propose sending, at the conclusion of the Tournament, a side representative of the West to Toronto to try conclusions with the East, and it will be on the form shown in these games that the team to represent Canada against the United States will be chosen. This scheme is the result of the formation of the Western Association, and was the policy laid down by their representative at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Association.” F o r the second time in his career Harold Thomas William Hardinge has made two separate hundreds in a match for Kent. The previous occasion was against Essex at Leyton three years ago, when he scored 153 and 126. It is testimony to the strength of Kent cricket during the past few seasons that a player of such skill should have been unable to make his position in the side secure. He was bom at Greenwich on February 25th, 1886, and was only sixteen years of age when he made his first appearance for Kent. In minor cricket he has made some very large scores, including 202 not out for Mote v. Stoics in 1903 and 251 not out for Tonbridge v. Wanderers at Tonbridge in 1910. H a m p s h ire are to be very heartily congratulated upon the splendid manner in which they saved the game against the Champions on Wednesday. No one for a moment expected they would succeed in the heavy task set them, and probably only one person in a thousand considered it likely they would prove equal to playing out time. The number of runs scored— 1,446—is the largest ever made in an inter-county match, and Hampshire’s 468 for eight the highest fourth innings obtained in the same class cricket. It was a remarkable game, and one to which both sides—Hampshire especially—will be able to look back with satisfaction. A r n o l d , the Worcestershire cricketer, met with an unfortunate accident on Saturday which is likely to keep him from cricket for some time. He was motor-cycling at Worcester when his machine skidded on the tram lines, throwing the rider heavily. A whistle which Arnold held in his mouth penetrated his jaw, and his legs were injured, particularly his knee, which had been damaged previously. This is Arnold’s benefit season, and the accident, in addition to robbing his county of a valuable player, is specially unfortunate for him. B . Y. B a r d s le y , of Shrewsbury, was awarded his blue during the progress of Oxford’s match against the All Indian team. He is known to the general public chiefly as a batsman —and a very capable one, too—and therefore it may come as a surprise to some to know that he can bowl a very good slow ball.
