Cricket 1912

554 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. Oct. 12, 1912. Sunderland have been six (not five tim es) cham pions of the Durham Senior League, besides the year in whiah they tied for first place. T he B urnm oor Club belongs to that league, not to the N orth-W est Durham . And I called Fred Butler (whose name I knew alm ost as well as m y own) “ F ra n k ” Butler. These mistakes will h a p p en ; the only thing seems to be to adm it th e m ; and prom ise reform ation. A m atch running into five days is a thing alm ost unheard of in the United Kingdom ; and thus—if only as a curiosity, though it has other claim s— the final tie for the Leinster Junior League Championship, between Pem broke Wanderers and the Railway U nion, at R athm ines, Dublin, deserves notice here. The full score is appended, and portraits of the two teams will be found on another page. The game was started on Friday, September 27, and finished on W ednesday ; but owing to late starts, necessarily early drawing of stumps on account of the failure of light, and so on, only about eleven hours’ play took place. At the beginning Railway Union seemed to have little chance of victory, for T. J. Ryan bowled particularly well (7 for 35), and they were all out for 64—this on a good wicket, too. R yan again distinguished him self when his tide batted, m aking top score. E . -H ool took 7 for 32. W ith a deficit of 45 to make up, the Railway men lost one wicket for 13. Then M. Bookm an and H . S. Coe m ade a fine stand, adding 143. Bookm an gave only one chance in his 86 ; Coe played the m ost dogged of gam es, batting 2 } hours for 30, Others did well, and tbe W anderers were sent in to get 225 for victory. They made a gallant fight, and with 6 to fall were only 100 behind on the last day. But R yan could get little help then, and Railw ay U nion won by 43 runs. H ool had 5 for 50 this tim e. R yan’s all-round play for the losers was splendid. H e scored 95 for once out (nearly twice as m any as anyone else m ade), and took 14 for 140. This is the third successive year Pembroke Wanderers have appeared in the final, Leinster beating them by 3 wickets last year, and R ichm ond winning in 1910. First innings. R ailw ay U nion .

Young Amateurs of Surrey at the Oval, was very m uch to the fore ih the school sports last Saturday. H e won all six events in which he com peted, and beat four of the school records, doing the hundred in 10g seconds, the 120 yards hurdles in 17| seconds, accom plishing a long jum p of 20 ft. 3 in., and a high jum p of 5 ft. 4 in. He did the quarter in 5 8 f seconds, and put the shot 32 ft. 3 in. G E O R G E L E W I N & C O . , Club Colour Specialists and Athletic Clothing Manufacturers.

Hampstead played 60 matches during the 1912 season, and as many as 90 players turned out for the club. Of those who played pretty frequently, J. G. Donaldson and F . R . D ’O. M onro were in tremendous batting fo rm ; C. H . Chaldecott and R . S. Everitt as batsmen, G. G. Dumbelton and A. R. Tanner as all-round men, and S. E . H ooper as bowler, were conspicuous. But others deserve mention. G. Crosdale, the brothers Eiloart, T . H. and G . F . Farm iloe, N. J. D. M offatt, G. J. S. Pitts, R . G . D. H owell, and John Kerr were all in form . The young Jamaican, F. C. Mercier, owes his batting average of close on 30 largely to not outs ; but his 50 wickets was the biggest bag made by anyone for the club, Dumbelton and H ooper pushing him m ost closely.
