Cricket 1911

454 CEICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g u s t 19, 1911. M r . J . H . R O B E R T S . M r. Jam es H arry Roberts died at Linden House, B exhill, on the 1 1t h inst, aged 46. He was in the Uppingham Eleven in 1882 and 1888, being a good bat, a useful field and a safe catch. In his first year he did little, but in 1883 he was second in the batting averages, with ju st under 20 runs an innings, and took fifteen wickets for 20*60 runs each. H e proceeded to Cambridge, but did not obtain his Blue. In December, 1888, he assisted M ajor W arton’s team against X X II. of Western D istricts at Newlands—the first m atch ever played by an English side in South A frica—and scored 20 and 4 : in his first innings he made a fine on-drive for six off A shley. In 1889 he became a member of the M .C .C ., and his name w ill occasionally be found in I Zingari and Uppingham Rovers m atches. At one time he was a good Rugby footballer, and for some years was a follower of the Pytchley Hounds. M r. H. H . S E C R E T A N . Mr. H . H. Secretan, an Old M arlburian, died at Fen Jalton, Canterbury (N. Z .), on Ju n e 16th. He learned his cricket at M arl­ borough, and was a stylish batsm an, a useful bowler and an active and energetic field. He had been settled in New Zealand for almost forty years, and was for several seasons a member of the Canterbury team. In his last big match - against A uckland—he scored 75, but perhaps his best innings, taking into consideration the bowling against which it was played, was his 35 for Canterbury v. Murdoch’s team of 1882. T. M YC RO FT . Thom as Mycroft, for twenty-two years a much-respected member of the M .C.C.’s ground-staff at Lo rd ’s, and for several seasons a well- known umpire, died on Sunday at Derby. He was born at Birm ing­ ham on March 28th, 1848, and was therefore in his sixty-fourth year at the time of his death. A brother of the once famous bowler, W illiam M ycroft, he never took a prominent position in the game, but he played occasionally for Derbyshire. He was of use chiefly as a wicket-keeper, but as he was contemporaneous with A. Sm ith and Disney, he did not appear regularly for the county. H is benefit, at Lords, was favoured by fine weather and realised over a thousand pounds. _____________________ BERKSHIRE v.
