Cricket 1913

J u l y 19, 1913. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 425 Relf, and Gunn m igh t be— and would be— backed by cricketers every time to make over 350 on hard stuff off Simms, Falcon, Kidd, D ou glas, and Fender. A nyw ay, the match made history. It is the first time a batsman o f F alco n ’s ability has been No. 11 for the Amateurs, and the first tim e a batsman of H ard in ge’s class has been No. 9 for the Players. I should im agine it is the first time the G entry, having amassed (!) 139, have led on the first innings in this match. Jessop w as— w ell, just Jessop! “ Play him as long as he can stand up*,” has been my motto with regard to him for some time. H e has been “ left out ”•— because he Jessops — of team s innumerable for years and years; 1913 is no exception, and those w h o leave him out— well, 81 and 107, the 81 out of a total of 139, and both scored while the whole of one thumb-nail was jet black and ready to come off (the effects of a crack received in a one-day club affair), is ample reply. In a w ay the g am e reminded one of the days of W . G. and the late Johnny B rig g s. T h is was when “ little W . G .” Quaife happened to g e t alongside D. C . Robinson, the m ilitary stumper for the Sahib Logue. Clarkson could m ake D . C . R. up like the real W . G . in about ten minutes, for the heigh t and most of the breadth of beam and girth are there. A s one old Gloucestershire cricketer of my acquaintance put it :— “ When Quaife w as out there at long- on on Frid ay even ing and the ligh t was not good, he looked just like a daisy in the distan ce! ” B o w l in g A v e r a g e s . The gam e w as a great and good th in g for amateurism in c rick et; but it served to double and treble on e’s regret at the lutte de vivre which keeps so many real cricketers from playing regu larly. W hat a pasting the bow ling got on Saturday forenoon! 125 runs in 70 minutes, including a 6 half-w ay to Rotherhithe by Simms off fellow-county- man R elf. Ouel p u n ch ! A. P. D ay, too, was there and back again for his few, all off the middle, w hile but for a shade of m istim ing we should assuredly have had such a half-hour of Jessopus as has rarely been seen. H e had got his 100, and w as now, ears back, intent on four every time it w a sn ’t six. DrtAT that m ishit! Cambridge University in 1913. Matches played, n ; won, 4 ; lost, 5 ; drawn, 2.
