Cricket 1911

JULY 29, 1 9 1 1. CR ICKET : A W EEK LY RECORD OP THE GAME. 385 Heard on the S ou th ea s te rn . “ This ’Ubble, ” said the man in the corner, “ ’e’ s another Alletson, that’s wot ’e is ; another bloomin’ Alletson.” The man in the corner was red-laced and stout and optimistic. The man in the middle of the other seat was lean and lank and doleful, a pessimist born. He sucked in his thin cheeks as he listened. The red-faced man puffed out his cheeks as he spoke. Both had been at Tunbridge Wells that day, and each had evidently more than a nodding acquaintance with the form of contemporary cricketers. “ Alletson? Wot about A lletson?” retorted the thin man. “ ’E never done it before, an’ ’e won’t never do it agin. Thirty— that’s about Alletson’s bloomin’ mark.” “ He made 189,” piped up a boy of twelve or so. “ He made 189, Alletson did. And the last 142 of them in 40 minutes. I’ve got a little book here that says so.” The listener recognised the little book. It was “ Cricket’s Year-Book.” (No charge made for advertisement.) “ So did ’Ubble make 189,” said the red-faced man. “ But he didn’t make them so fast as Alletson,” answered the boy quickly. “ G arn! You’re too young to be so arguficacious. ’U bble,’e ’it thirty 4’s. An’ moreover, ’e made ’is bloomin’ runs when they was wanted—that’s what matters, sonny.” “ ’E won’t never do it no more. ’E ’s like Alletson. They done it once, an’ they’ll go on tryin’ to do it agin all the rest of their blessed lives, an’ never gettin’ nowheres near it,” spoke the pessimist. “ ’Ubble made 0 and 1 last match. I seen ’im. It was the Sussex bowlin’ wot ’elped Alletson an’ ’im too—rotten stuff as ever I seen, that was to-day, an’ I’ll bet it was the same at Brighton.” “ Hove,” corrected the small boy. “ You shut your jor, or you'll get a swipe of the ’ead—-se e ?” snarled the pessimist. “ Albert Belf ain’t no rotten bowler,” said red-face thoughtfully. “ An’ more ain’t his brother Bob. Leach, ’e ain’t what ’e used to was a year or two ago. But that young ’un in the light blue cap —wot’s ’is name?—pills or ointment or somethin’, it makes me think of— ” “ Holloway, you mean,’’ sniffed the small boy. “ That’Bit— ’Olloway.” “ Reminds me of quod,” said the pessimist. “ It would, I dessay,” rejoined red-face affably. “ That all depends, you see. As I was goin’ to say, I’ve seen worse bowlers than young ’Olloway.” Someone eke spoke. The dusty gentleman in the far corner, who had hitherto seemed too overcome with the heat—and the beer —to say anything, and had indeed appeared to be asleep, gave his opinion. “ ’Ubble’s all right,” he said. “ So’s Alletson. They're both all right. So’m I ! Jolly goo’ chaps, ’Ubbleson an’ Allets-—I mean Abbleson an’ ’Ulletts. But what I says is —give me Jessop ! Give me Jessop every bloomin’ time, an’ do what you bloomin’ well please with your Ubbsletts an’ your Allysons. Give me Jessop ! ’E ’s my mark! ” Pessimist and optimist find themselves in agreement. Even the small boy did not dissent. “ I dessay you’re right, cocky,” said red-face, proferring a bottle. “ ’Ave a sup, an’ then pass it to old long-jaw there.” “ Well, I dunno as I ain’t ’ad too much already; but—ere’s to Jessop!” said the dusty gentleman, and tilted up the bottle in a manner that made the pessimist’s face grow longer than ever.

The BANK OP NEW SOUTH WALES, the oldest Banking Institution in Australia, has removed from Old Broad Street to its new offices at No, 29, Threadneedle Street, London, E,C, SURREY v. DERBYSH IRE . Played at the Oval on July 24, 25 and 26 and won by Surrey by an innings and 214 runs. Some such result was foreshadowed at the end of the first day when the Surrey score was 522 for eight wickets. Hayward played confidently for four hours, hitting, twenty- six 4’s and offering only one chance —when 158. He added 144 with Hayes and 155 (in 75 minutes) with Bush. The last named, by free cricket, obtained his 135 in just over two hours, a 6, three 5’s and seventeen 4’s being his chief strokes. Goatly’s 110 was a brilliant and faultless display which lasted 110 minutes : he and Strudwick put on 99 for the ninth wicket and the total reached 576. In Derby­ shire’s first innings Hitch dismissed Slater, Forester and Rickman in an over, but Root helped Needham to add 88 for the eighth partnership. In the second innings Rushby’s bowling kicked awkwardly on a wicket becoming treacherous after rain and Surrey won as stated. Derbyshire were much handicapped by the absence of Warren and Morton.
