Cricket 1911

AUGUST 12, 1911. CEICKET : A WEEKLY EECOED OP THE GAME. 435 Club Cricket. One of the largest individual innings of the present season is the 268 not out made by H. Harrison on the 2nd inst. for Broughton Wednesday against Swinton and Pendlebury on the Clifton ground. He hit four 6’s and fifty-five 4’s, and contributed his runs to a total of 363 for three wickets. Swinton and Pendlebury were all out for 10 1. Lord H arris, playing for Band of Brothers v. K oyal Artillery, at Woolwich on Friday and Saturday, scored 3 1 not out in his first innings and 76 in his second. He was the heaviest run-getter for either side, and had a great deal to do with the B . B .’s success by three wickets. Some fast run-getting was recorded in Saturday’s match between Dulwich and Charlton Park on the latter’s ground. The Park, for whom W illiam MeCanlis made 55 not out, declared with eight wickets down for 2 17, and then saw Dulwich run up 2 3 1 for four in 95 m inutes. S. J . Goodall, going in first, scored 129 and carried out his bat. The Beddington C.C., whose Week concluded on Saturday last, has for several years been recognized as one of the strongest in Surrey. The date of its formation is uncertain, but it is believed that it was evolved from a club formed by the choristers of Beddington Church. At that tim e—about fifty years ago—the Rector of Beddington was Canon Bridges, a great enthusiast of the game, and the father of Mr. J . H . Bridges, who was for four years in the W inchester Eleven, and is the President of the Club. The early records of the Beddington C.C. have not been preserved, and the oldest score available seems to be of the match against West Kent at Chislehurst in August, 18 6 3—a game, curiously enough, not mentioned by Mr. Philip Norman in his Annals of the West Kent C.G. It is not surprising to find that Beddington were defeated on that occasion, for among their opponents were several Normans and Lubbocks, Herbert Jenner and the Hon. Spencer Ponsonby. The home of the Beddington Club has always been Beddington Park, thanks to the generosity first of Canon Bridges and, afterwards, of his son, Mr. J . H . Bridges. It was there that, in 1876, was played a match which is often referred to by old players. It was against Marl­ borough Nomads, and Beddington stayed at the wickets the whole of the day, scoring 586 for nine wickets—a very large total in those times. Many well-known men appeared for Beddington that day, among them being F . H . B irley (68), the late H . R . Webbe (28), Vernon Boyle (136), J . H. Bridges (51), W. Lindsay (116 ), H . A. Hodgson (45 not out), the present Bector and for several seasons captain of the club, and the B ev. R . E . Lee, whose lobs frequently played havoc among opposing batsmen. Mr. Bridges led the side for a dozen years and Mr. Hodgson for an even longer period. The present captain is Mr. L . W . S. Rostron, another Old Wykeham ist, who was a contemporary of Mr. H . D. G. Leveson-Gower. Undoubtedly the best-known cricketer the club has produced is Robert Henderson, who played for Surrey for m any seasons and has been for more than thirty years a member of the Beddington Church Choir, but there have also been other players—such as the brothers Gilbert and W ilfred R e a y—who needed only experience of first-class cricket to make a name for themselves. A remarkable performance has been accomplished by J . C. Davies, a member of the Towyn School team. Playing against Aberystwyth, Davies dismissed the first four batsmen for a few runs, and later, in one over, took the remaining six wickets with consecutive balls, thus securing all ten in the innings. He is the son of Mr. W alter D avies, of London House, Lampeter, South Wales. A m atch was played at South Croydon on Monday between tbe ten brothers Parris, whose ages range from 20 to 47, and the Brighton Road C.C. The m atch resulted in a win for the brothers by 54 runs. Percy P arris and W alter P arris obtained 40 of their runs in a quarter of an hour. This is the fourth annual match between the two sides, the Fam ily having won all the three games which have been finished. CARMARTHENSHIRE v.
