Cricket 1912

540 CRICKETf: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. S e p t. 28, 1912. 66), Colonel R. M. Poore (76 and 34), Captain J. H . Haughton, and Captain E . D. Tillard, who played for Somerset early this season, made nearly all the runs for the Presidency. Dr. H. D . Kanga, J. S. Warden, D . D. Driver, D . K. Kapadia, M. D . Parekh, and J. Elavia (who had 10 wickets in the m atch) did best for the Parsis. The first-named two were the only m embers o f the All India Team of last year engaged. Unfortunately the score which has reashed me is incom plete, but I hope to be able to give the full score in the next number. Follow ing on this match, M ajor G reig’s X I. m et the H indus, including Balu and Shivram of our last year’s visitors. The match was drawn after two days’ play. Balu scored 86 for once out, but his one wicket cost 99. M ajor Greig made 22 and 54*, Capt. H aughton 45 and 32*, and Capt. Tillard took 6 for 40 in the H indus’ first. M ajor B adcock, who is going to devote his leave to Somerset cricket, ran up 88 for the H osur R em ount Dept. v. N ewington C.C., Madras, on Sept. 1. In August a team from Antigua visited Montserrat, and the hom e side won on the first innings by 22 runs. T hey ran up 158 in a second innings, A . Barnard scoring 62. F. Peters did the hat trick for Montserrat. T he Antigua “ Sun,” sent m e by a kindly correspondent, has lifted several paragraphs from recent issues of C r ic k e t , but is honest enough to acknowledge the source in one case at least. The Christchurch (N .Z.) “ W eekly Free Press ” lifted entire the article on “ Cricket Costume ” printed in an early number this summer. W e don’t m in d ; C r ic k e t was mentioned. B ut there is a certain Natal paper which quotes us very often, and yet never quotes us— if you understand the subtle distinction. Is a hint sufficient ? W hich brings us to an interesting bit of news from South Africa. The Currie Cup m atches this com ing season will be played on different lines. There will be no tournam ent, as at Durban in 1910-1, and on the Rand in 1906-7 ; but the proposal is that each Union should play a series of hom e and away matches, no Union playing fewer than four such m atches (two at least to be away) qualifying for participation. There seem distinct possibilities in this schem e, though of course it has its drawbacks. Distance is one of them . This will rule out Rhodesia. Seven Unions are left as possible com petitors. It would be difficult to map out a com petition in which each should play only the m inimum number of matches ; but with three of them playing five games each a schedule on som ething like these lines m ight well be fixed up. AW AY. Transvaal. to play— W .P.—E .P .— Border (3). W estern Province ,, — E .P .—Border (2). Eastern Province ,, — G .W .—O.F.S. (2). Border ,, — Natal—G.W . O .F.S. (3). Natal „ — W .P.—G .W .(2). Griqualand W est ,, — W .P.—Trans. (2). Orange Free State ,, —Natal—Trans. (2). I am not prepared to say that this arrangement would guarantee the m inimum of travelling; but it looks feasible. Under it, Trans vaal would go south and east, W estern Province east, Eastern Province and Border north and west, Natal south and west, and Griqualand W est and the Free State would have away matches with their neighbours.
