Cricket 1911

A u g u s t 12 , 19 1 1. C R IC K E T : A W EEK LY RECOKD O F THE GAME. 421 CRICKET IN SCOTLAND. The Indians commenced their tour by easily beating an eleven of the Northern Counties at Inverness; but cricket is not a strong force so far North. They afterwards proceeded to Galashiels to meet the select of Scotland. At least, it ought to have been the select, but a few apparently did not appreciate the honour of repre­ senting their country and the team that took the field differed greatly from the original choice. However, the playing strength of the side was not seriously diminished and in the end the Indians were lucky to escape with a draw which another half-hour would probably have turned into a victory for Scotland. The visitors were disappointing as much more was expected of them ; and, indeed, except in the taking of catches and at the wicket, where SeshaChari gave an exceeding smart display, the Scots with justice might claim a superiority. J. A. Ferguson, of Perthshire, was the outstanding success of the match. His 47 in the first innings was perhaps the finest exhibition of batting in the game, and before that he had taken five of the Indians’ wickets for 36. T. P. Herriot also did splendidly in this, his first big match, and It. G. Tait as usual gathered a lot of runs in his wonted breezy style. The bowling showed a marked improve­ ment compared with that seen in the Irish match, and the introduc­ tion of J. H. Bruce Lockhart, the light blue, and Ferguson was mainly responsible. Lockhart, though expensive, paid his way and always kept the Indian batsmen from settling down, and D. Chapel at length justified his inclusion by dismissing five of the Indians for 34 in the second innings. Financially, the match proved another failure though it was no worse than the Irish International at Glasgow. No matter where these matches are played there is never likely to be a large balance. Carlton finished a most successful season on Saturday by beating Clydesdale by a substantial margin. This club has won some three- fourths of its matches, generally with consummate ease, and suffered defeat only once. Unfortunately they did not meet the other highly successful combinations of the season with the exception of Perth­ shire, when a draw resulted. The Western Union Championship was practically decided when Uddingston got off with a draw in their match with Poloc, at Shawholm on Saturday. J. Grieve, the mainstay of Poloc, was assisting Scotland at Galashiels, and this fact was expected to ensure an easy victory for Uddingston; but for once they were caught napping and they probably had the rain to thank for escaping defeat, as at the finish they were 28 behind and had only two wickets to fall. Uddingston have won this championship almost every year since its inception, but this season they would experience little satisfaction seeing that several of the most important clubs in the west had dropped out. The real championship of the West was decided the previous Saturday, when Uddingston overcame Drum­ pellier for the second time this year. Broadbent, the Uddingston professional, will probably be found in the ranks of Aberdeenshire next season as an amateur. A cricketer whose fame is widely known will shortly be announced as having filled his place. DRUMPELLIER v. WEST OF SCOTLAND.—Played at Langloan on August 5 and won by Drumpellier.
