Cricket 1913

J uly 5, 1913. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 363 T h e fist to date is i , Mead (C. P .), June 14 ; 2, Quaife (W . G .), June 2 4 ; 3, W oolley (F . E .), June 2 7; 4, Hobbs (J. B .), June 28. A l is t o f 44 players who appeared for Surrey and for at least two other counties has reached me from a kindly correspondent, who suggests that I may now look up the Middlesex, Gloucestershire, etc., men who were also three- county players. But I am afraid I cannot just now. M r. F . W . S t o c k s , o f the Felsted staff, is the head master designate o f Fram lingham College. H e goes from one good cricket school to another, and he w ill carry with him many good wishes, for he has earned high esteem at the Essex school. C r i c k e t ’ s congratulations to him ! L o o k in g back over Ernest T y ld esley ’s records one has almost a shock o f surprise in realising that he first played for the County Palatine as far back as 1909. How time flies ! I t was only to be expected that sooner or later he and his elder brother should each score a century in the same innings, but scarcely that they should do it twice within a week. I have looked up the instances in which each has made 50 or over in an innings. Here they are :— Match. J. t . t . Added E.T. together V. Hants, Old Trafford, 1910 ... 136 5 2 J 3 2 V. Gloucestershire, Old Trafford, 1911 62 7 3 — V. Notts, Nottingham, 1913 ... 99 123 — V. Leicestershire, Leicester, 1913 ... 129 109 101 V. Surrey, Oval, 1913 .............. ... 210 n o 177 H. A. F u r n e s s , who showed up so conspicuously for the Gentlemen o f Ph iladelph ia v. the Australians, w ill be remembered by a good many public school cricketers of 1910, who fielded out to his long innings for the H aver­ ford C o llege team which toured England that year. He made 131 not out v. Marlborough, 72 v. M .C .C ., 76 v. Rugby, 130 v. Tonbridge, and 102 and 79 not out v. Malvern, besides many other useful scores. H e plays now for the Moorestown C .C ., which has only recently been admitted to the H a lifa x Cup Competition, in which the leading clubs o f the city take part. In 1911 he averaged 17.73 per innings for his clu b ; in 1912 his average was 26.71. A c c id e n t s to players have been somewhat numerous this season. G. A . T . V ials, Coe, Morton, Collier, Bowden, R . V . Bardsley, R. S. M. White, W ells, East, and Warren have all been among the injured. Strains account fo r the majority. B y the way, “ A n O ld County Cricketer ” in the Sportsman goes pretty fa r astray in his | statement that Warren and W ells did not bowl much at 1 Blackwell because the wicket was dangerous. Whatever the state o f the wicket, Warren started the match crocked, and W ells was crocked in the course o f it. U M P I R E . GEORGE F.
