Cricket 1911

J une 10, 1911. CJtilCKET : A WEEKLY EECOKD OF THE GAME. 239 Club Cricket. One of the finest feats accomplished this season thus far has come from the bat of young D. J . Knight of Malvern. Playing against H . K. Foster's X I., the School amassed 548, Knight con­ tributing 2 1 1 in brilliant style. Readers w ill remember his success­ ful appearance at the Oval last summer, when it was felt that, barring accidents, he would walk into the Surrey X I. a couple of seasons or so hence. In the two-day match referred to 119 8 runs were scored for twenty-four wickets— in all probability a school record, at least as far as En glan d is concerned. On Ju n e 3rd for Streatham v. Beckenham , Norman Miller added another century to his long list of successes. H is 114 was a lovely innings, the batsman showing confidence and brilliance in his execution. He drove, cut, and glanced with equal precision and skill. A long innings from Miller is always exhilarating to the spectators and his opponents alike, and it has been a thousand pities that his services have not been available for Surrey—especially on rain-affected p itch es! Ii. G. Cowley, the Incog.— Blackheath—Charlton Park cricketer, is in fine form this year, and he is making centuries with almost monotonous regularity. F o r Charlton v. Bexley his 16 1 was a splendid display of off-driving. H is favourite stroke is a particularly hard cover drive. He bowls a most useful ball and is a real good stumper. Cowley has appeared frequently for Kent 2nd, and is an ardent motorist. He has played a good deal of cricket in his time in the B exh ill district, and very rarely indeed without making his presence felt. It is pleasing to note some fine cricket again from E . M. Dowson. F or Uxbridge v. Old Manorians, on Saturday, the Cantab made 154. At Harrow and Cambridge his record was a brilliant one, and the general opinion was that, if he could devote himself entirely to the game, no place in the world of cricket would be beyond his reach. The claim s of business, however, interfered, to Surrey’ s, and possibly En glan d ’s, loss. Bowling for Eltham against Blackheath on June 3rd, Haywood took five for 46—a good performance on a plumb wicket. H is son is showing good form for Northants this year. Another noteworthy bowling performance was seven for 24 credited to H . Gale, of the Cyphers, v. Beckenham . To get the latter side out for 105 speaks volumes in favour of tbe Cyphers’ attack. R . N. R . B laker, the old W estm inster, who has apparently given up first-class cricket, hit finely for Mr. L . Robinson’s X I. at Norwich on Saturday. The ease and confidence with which B laker “ tonks ” good-length balls is very demoralising to the bowler, and the way in which he tackles bowling m akes it easy for the batsmen who follow him . H. C. Pretty was able to play for his old Club, the Wanderers, on Saturday, against E a lin g ; he signalised his reappearance by scoring 50. R . T . Crawford swerved more than half the side out and also did his share with the bat by running up 53 in a very short space of time. H. E . Thomson for the Granville (Lee) hit brilliantly for 1 12 (not out) on WThit Monday against Lessness Park. The Granville totalled 330, J . O. Anderson (54) and C. E . C. Kendle (74) helping to swell the total. In Jenner, the Lessness P ark C.C. possess a young bowler above average m erit. Bowling a medium-paced ball, accurate in length, Jenner frequently makes it whip back in no uncertain fashion. A consistent scorer for Hampstead this year is H . S. Maclure ; playing on Saturday he made 48 out of 136. He is a dashing cover-point and gives but few runs aw ay to the opposition.
