Cricket 1913

J uly 12, 1913. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 399 unluckily stumped off L a n g ’s pads. He w as missed—a difficult high chance— by Fairbairn in the slips at 28; but he played really great cricket, and made his runs at the rate of one per minute by varied and well-timed strokes, eleven 4’s being included. Then came a bad time for Oxford. Boswell was bowled off-stump at 125 by a ball he did not attempt to play; Wilkinson gave mid-on a catch ten runs later ; and at 138 came a disaster. Knott and Campbell were together, and the former w as in danger of a pair. He played a ball straight to Saville at cover— Saville of all men !•—and, without a call by either, both batsmen rushed down the pitch. Saville, with only one stump to aim at, threw hard and straight, and Campbell had to go. It was lucky that [ this contretemps did not put Knott off his. g am e ; but as far j as could be judged it was no more his fault than his captain’s. The old Tonbridge boy played well thereafter; but no one else did anything, and the innings closed for 191, leaving Cambridge to ge t 146 for victory. They risked j nothing; the last half-hour produced only a laborious 14 runs, and Melle bowled Lang at 9. Mention should be made of an impressive incident of the day. At noon play ceased; caps and hats were lifted; a hush fell upon the crowded j ground, and spectators rose to their feet. Far away at Hagley the mourners had started to follow to the tomb the mortal remains of Alfred Lyttelton, a knight of cricket sans peur et sans reproche; and thus Lord’s paid its tribute tc>a great one gone— to the memory of a man who had many a time delighted spectators there. With only 17 on the board on Wednesday morning, Cumberlege was caught at the wicket. Lagden and Mulholland then stayed, scoring slowly, while Campbell rang the changes on his bowling in quick succession. They added a most valuable 35, and played quite the right gam e in the circumstances. With Kidd as Lagden’s partner scoring quickened. Lagden was out at 82, having batted over an hour and a-half for his fine 45. He showed that he can exercise restraint when he chooses, and is one of the trio— Bardsley and Melle the others— who emerged from a father disappointing match with increased reputations. Kidd and Davies took the score to 116, when the Rossallian was out leg before. Oxford stuck gamely to their work ; but their chance.— small at best— had gone now, and, though Kidd had to leave at 140, Cambridge won by 4 wickets iust after half-past one.

Etheridge, who has played for Middlesex, and Golding, the Bushey pro., put up 140 for the first wicket of the home sid e; but the -rest of the batting in the match was of a very moderate description, and its chief feature thereafter was the excellent bowling of Burton, a son of George Burton, who for so many years did manful work as a left-hand slow trundler for Middlesex. Herts won by 10 wickets. H er tfo r d sh ir e . First Innings. S. G. Etheridge, c Gaby, b Penfold 109 Golding, lbw, b Penfold ... ... 60 C. H. Titchmarsh, c Phillips, b Lawrence . E. S.

At Fenner’s, Cambridge, July 7 and 8. In spite of rain causing a delay of half-an-hour, the first day’s play realised well over 500 runs, an innings each being completed, with a tremendous advantage to Durham, for whom Ilendren, whose only chance was at 98, and II. L. Dales, whose splendid forcing innings was quite free from fault, made centuries, while almost everyone else scored freely. Hendren hit a 6 and twenty 4’s; Dales, only in n o minutes, hit two 6’s, a 5, and seventeen 4 ’s. Harry and Morris put out the Cambridgeshire men for a paltry score ; and on Tuesday only Herbert Carpenter, playing his first gam e for his native county as a veteran, and George Waters, the old Surrey player, could do anything with Morris. Carpenter batted 100 minutes for his 50, and was out in very unfortunate fashion, stepping back and breaking his wicket after hitting a ball to the boundary. Durham won by an innings and 192 runs.
