Cricket 1911

492 CEICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. S ept . 2, 1911. Club Cricket. In last Saturday’s Yorkshire Council match at King’s Cross between Skipton and King’s Cross, the visitors lost their ninth wicket at 66 and defeat seemed almost certain. But the situation was saved in fine style by F. Cartman and H. Geldart. who remained together for an hour and three-quarters and put on 92. On the same after­ noon, at Knypersley, in a North Staffordshire League match, G. Fenwick (65) and H . Ellerton (33 not out) added 89 for the last wicket of Leek v. Knypersley. The total of tbe innings was 224. Playing for Royal Navy against Royal Artillery at Mt. Wise, Devonport, on 21st August, Lieut. Harrison and Assist.-Paymaster Conde-Williams scored 200 for the first wicket in 56 minutes, the share of the former, who was first to leave, being 152. Conde-Williams eventually made 103 in one hour 50 minutes. The Navy declared with a score of 391 for five wickets, made in less than two hours five minutes. The Artillery were subsequently dismissed for 171. Thus between 2.30 and 6.30, 562 runs were scored, an example of very brisk cricket. Another instance of fast scoring occurred in last Saturday’s match between Stalybridge and Rochdale, Buckley making 105 not out in 39 minutes for the former. C. Brown, the Kinnersley trainer, playing for the Worcester Hunt team against the North Hereford Hunt team on Aug. 21, made 52 and secured eight wickets, catching the two remaining men at slip: On Aug. 24, playing for Shrawley v. Worcester Lansdowne, he carried his bat through the innings of 185 for 103, made in ninety minutes. In aid of University College Hospital and the Great Northern Central Hospital a charity match will be played at Tufnell Park ground on Thursday, Sept. 14, between a South of England X I. and a North London XV. The South of England X I. will be selected from the following :—P. A. Perrin, C. P. McGahey, G. L. Hebden, Hearne (J. T.), Hearne (J. W .), Trott, Murrell, Mignon, Freeman, Tremlin, Hayes, Huish, Reeves, Mead (W.), Young and Hendren. Would-be match winners should take a leaf out of the book of Gunner Greest, of H .M .S. B icchante, who pulled a game out of the fire in fine style at Gibraltar on August 18th. He was playing against H.M. S. Duke o f Edinburgh , and when he went in, tenth man, 40 runs were wanted for victory. Instead of being down­ hearted, he hit four 6’s, two 4’s and a single off consecutive balls, and before he was bowled for 35, by the tenth ball he received, had the pleasure of knowing that his side had won by one run. A handy m an! An instance of all ten wickets in an innings comes to hand from Lewes, where, on Thursday of last week, H. Nevill was the successful bowler on behalf of Herons Ghyll against Lewes Priory. His analysis was ten for 62 in a total of 141. Of the first five Priory batsmen three were stumped and the other two caught by H. Finney. This is by no means the first occasion on which a Herons Ghyll bowler’s feat has been recorded in this journal, for in Vol. VII., p. 66—for April 19th, 1888—it was told how the club dismissed Nutley for 4 and 6 and won by an innings and 94 runs. In the first innings Walter Humphreys took eight wickets without being scored from and in the second Walter Quaife did the hat-trick. Mr. G. A. Faulkner, who has been making a lot of runs and taking many wickets since his arrival in England, turned out for Woodbrook against Old Harrovians at Bray on the first two days of the week. He took four wickets and scored 107 and 82 not out. Mr. Michael Falcon, of Harrow, Cambridge and Norfolk fame, had one of his most successful days as a bowler at East Dereham on August 24th. He was playing for M.C.C. and Ground against Mid-Norfolk and took seven wickets for three runs, the local side being all out for 11. The highest score from the bat was 4. Exactly seventy years ago, to the very month, the visit of the M.C.C. to Dereham had resulted in similar history being made. Norfolk on that occasion being the side to go down for 11. Old William Lillywhite obtained nine of the wickets, and the highest innings played for the side was, then as now, only 4. Thus does history repeat itself. A HUNDRED YEARS AGO. The return Cricket-match between the one arm and one leg pensioners of Greenwich Hospital, for 1,000 guineas, was finally decided at Montpelier Gardens on Monday last, in favour of the one- arm players, by 40 runs. The match was extremely well contested. The first and second innings were played on the 8th and 15th inst., and was postponed for the third day in consequence of the wet weather being so much to the disadvantage of the one-legged side, who several times lost or broke their timbers, which disaster befel three of them on Monday last. The Observer , Sunday, Aug. 25th, 1811. SOMERSET y . LANCASH IRE . Played at Bath on August 28, 29 and 30 and won by Lancashire by 292 runs. On the first day, when play was restricted by rain to three hours and a-quarter, Sharp was seen at his best in scoring 74 out of 110 in an hour and a-quarter. He made no mistake whilst in, hit two 6’s and ten 4's and fell to an exceptionally fine catch at slip. In the second innings Hartley and John T^ldesley put on 125 for the second wicket in 80 minutes, and Lancashire’s success, provided the weather permitted, was always assured. The Somerset batsmeu were not seen to advantage in either innings. Score and analysis:— First Innings. L a n c a s h ir e . A. H. Hornby, c Hardy, b Bridges............. ]8 A.
