Cricket 1911

J u l y 1, 1911. CEICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 307 it was announced that, on the occasion referred to, he had made a hundred in each innings. At one time it was stated so frequently in published reports that Mr. A. R. Layman, who has been identified with the Granville (Lee) C.C. since 1875, “ did not bat,” that many people have thought the name was an alias adopted by Mr. A. N. Other. A very promising schoolboy cricketer is R. Knight, captain of St. John’s, Leatherhead. Against Christ’s Hospital on Saturday not only did he win the toss (!), but made 79 out of 138 and took six wickets for 46. Sydney Jas. Croft, of Gravesend, had a memorable outing on Coronation Day. For a Gravesend XI. v. The Granville (Lee) he made 225 with a life at 199. For a patient, persevering display Croft’s innings would be difficult to beat. He used the pull stroke and cut to great advantage, but made no effort to force the pace after reaching the century. He is a native of Gravesend, having been born there in 1883, and has been a very prolific scorer in local cricket. He was given a trial for Kent in 1902, appearing twice, and has often played with the second string. He has shown a great partiality for the Granville C.C. bowling, making 161 in May of this year v. the “ A ” team and a century against the club in 1910. His highest effort in club cricket is 261 not out, and in 1905 he made 1,400 runs for his club. E . F. Campbell’s 103 for Eton v. Winchester during last week was a magnificent effort; Eton took the field an unbeaten side, and, after being in a minority of 108 and following-on, snatched a splendid win by 58 runs. In some respects the game was similar to their memorable match at Lord’s last year. A fine batting performance was that of S. Platt (102) and J. O. Anderson (59) for the Granville (Lee) v. Charlton Park on Saturday. Going in first to make 180 in just over 100 minutes, they took the score to 160 in an hour and a-quarter. F. R. D’O. Monro, the Oxford Authentic and Hampstead cricketer, notched his second century of the season on June 22nd whilst playing for the M.C.C. at Neasden against University College School, hitting splendidly for 139. He is one of the very best batsmen playing for Hampstead at the moment, and is a very useful leg-break bowler. Sherborne School has just lost the services of Bowley, the old Surrey bowler and contemporary of Beaumont. Bowley had been at Sherborne for seventeen years and was one of the best coaches that ever worked. On the occasion of his silver wedding in 1905 the Sherborne masters gave him a Queen Anne silver tea service. Many sons of well-known cricketers have been coached by Bowley privately. The Rev. W . J. Kendle, one of the best bats ever turned out by Sherborne, who played for Hampshire for ten years in the seventies, thinks that Bowley’s place will be hard to fill. K. HAM PSTEAD v.
