Cricket 1913

J uly 5, 1913 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 365 All Montreal v. Australian Team. At Montreal, June 13 and 14. The Australians arrived from Toronto at 8 a.m ., and the game started punctually at noon. Mayne says this is mainly (no pun intended) a pleasure trip. Well, no doubt the men— most of them quite young—get their pleasure on the field; otherwise one might suggest that in his schedule of matches Mr. Benjamin keeps their noses to the grindstone! The Montreal side consisted wholly of West Indians and Britons; there was not a native- born Canuck in it. The Prime Minister came from Ottawa to see the match, and as at Toronto the gate was a very fair one, in this case in spite of lowering weather. F. I. C. Goodman, a member of the famous Goodman clan of Barbados, bowled very well in the Australians’ first innings, and Malone kept wicket capitally. Mayne and Collins put up 85 runs for the first wicket. Cody’s 59* included ten 4's. Bardsley and Crawford put on 101 for the fourth wicket in the Australians’ second. Bardsley batted about 3 hours, gave no chance, and made fourteen 4’s. The best stand for Montreal was 26 for the last wicket in the second innings by Hart and Burgess ; but undoubtedly the chief feature of their play was Goodman’s really excellent bowling. C. F. Hawkins contributed to the Daily Star quite a good account of the gam e (though a wayward comp, did make him say that Bardsley completed his centenary ) ; but the bowling analysis in the first Montreal innings was not given, that in the Australians’ does not tally, and the second innings .of Montreal will not cast up correctly. The Australians won by 399 runs. First Innings. A ustr alian T eam . Second Innings. E. R. Mayne, b Hart ......................... H. L. Collins, c and b Goodman ... C. G.

Australian Team. might have put up a good fight against the Australians. As it was they were very heavily defeated—by an innings and 178 runs. In their first innings no one topped 20, and the best stand w as one of 39 for the fourth wicket by C. C. Morris and Willard Graham. The Australians made 308 for 3 before time on the first day, Mayne and Cody setting up 101 for the first wicket, Cody and Bardsley adcling 108 for the third. Bardsley and Crawford, the not outs, took tlreir partnership to 119 for the fourth on Saturday morning; Arnott and Down put on 93 for the sixth, and Diamond and Emery added 65 for the ninth. Bardsley’s was a first-rate innings. When the Philadelphians batted again 5 were out for 2-5. Then O ’Neill helped Furness to add 45, and Jordan and Furness put on 69 for the eighth. Anderson and Waad also gave the Moorestown man some help, the ninth wicket adding 29 and the tenth 24. Furness carried his bat for a really fine 106, far and away the highest score yet made against the Australians during their tour. Only 5 extras were given in the long Australian innings— a testimony to Jordan’s work behind the stumps. First Innings. G e n tle m e n o f P h ila d e lp h ia . Second Innings. J. L.

Alfred Lyttelton, who, on a pitch quite unlike those he was accustomed to in the past, showed that he can still make runs in plenty, Sir Abe Bailey, who twenty years or more ago was one of the Transvaal’s best bowlers, Sir Timothy Carew O ’Brien, R. O. Schwarz, M. C. Bird, Tom Hayward, Hitch, and Strudwick. The gam e cannot be taken very seriously; but its score is of interest, if only for the old England wicket-keeper’s performance. One hopes sincerely that it will not go on record as his last appearance on the cricket field, though at time of writing he is very danger­ ously ill. At Manheim, Philadelphia, June 20 and 21. Most of the old hands have dropped out of Philadelphia cricket. There are plenty of good young ones coming along, however, and >t is likely enough that with J. B.
