Cricket 1913

454 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 26, 1913. Overseas Cricket. UNITED STATES. A. G. Laurie, who hails from Barbados, and was educated at Harrison College, which has produced a number of good cricketers, scored 100* for Richmond County v. Paterson on June 28th. H. Jackson made 73 for Paterson, who were beaten by 5 wickets and 21 runs. For Bensonhurst (against whom my corres­ pondent does not state) on the same day,' C. E. Blades, another Barbadian, ran up 6 6 . On June 28th, a twelve-a-side match, between New York Veterans (159— F. F. Kelly 35*, S. B. Standfast 35, G. W . Hayman 34) and Crescent Athletic (114 for 10— W. F. Jackson 47, H. J. Charlwood 28) had to be left drawn. Montreal sent a team to New York early this month. New York Veterans (191—O. Turville 72, A. G. Hoskings 26, G. W . Hayman 24) beat them by 31 runs after a good fight, F. I. C. Goodman contributing 37, C. F. Lane 24, and W . J. Brebner 22*, to the visitors’ total of 160. On the next day the Montreal team ran up 304 for 7 v. All Staten Island, E. S. Cameron making 140, R. H. Malone 67*, P. Buckley 26, R. Gregory 21. Staten Island could only raise 125—A. D. Robinson 32, E. Turville 30, F. F. Kelly 20. Haverford College were on tour in Canada and the University of Pennsylvania had gone to Bermuda ; but the news as to their doings there is too disjointed to be worth giving. On July 4th a match between Brooklyn and Bensonhurst, in the Metropolitan League, only produced 283 runs for the loss of 35 wickets, the former making 90 and 92, the latter 77 and 24 for 5. Among the bowling analyses were : J. H. Briggs, 7 for 21 ; F. C. Gautier, 6 for 24 ; and A Lovell, 4 for 6 . On the same day L. Comacho made 95 for Van Cortlandt v. Manor Field, and Earl Bretz (not a peer of the realm, by the way) 51 for Manor Field, who won a very close match by 6 runs— 165 to 159. A so-called inter-state game (but the term is a misnomer) between the Van Cortlandt Park Cricket League (31 and 75) and the Connecticut Cricket Association (50 and 59 for 3) ended in victory for the latter. A. D. Low, for Connecticut, had 14 wickets for 56 in the match, 9 for 43 in the second innings. ---------- MR. J. H. SCATTERGOOD’S TEAM v. MR. E. M. CREGAR’S TEAM. On the ground of the Philadelphia C.C., at St- Martins, Philadelphia, July g. All the Australians took part in this one day game, and Reid of Toronto also played. The score will be of some interest, though the match had no actual importance. Mr. E. M. C reoar ’ s T eam . H. L. Collins, c Seattergood, b Craw ford.......................... E. M.

Montreal match at Philadelphia. The home side made 432 —W . P. New- hall 118 (ret;), R. P. Anderson 109 (ret.), R. L. Pear­ son 39 , G. W. Cupit 3 2 , C, M. Graham 2 8 . The Mon­ treal side, though lacking their crack bat, E. S. Cameron, replied with 278 —F. I. Goodman 6 3 , C. F. Lane 46 , P. Buckley 3 7 , C. F. Hawkins 30 , A. J. Bur­ gess 2 7 ; and, following on, made 138 for 7 —E. E. Kenyon 40 , W . I. Brebner 24 *. W. P. O ’Neill, the Germantown captain, had 5 for 64 in Montreal’s first, and W . L. Cauffman 3 for 24 in their second. On Julv 8 the visitors won a good victory over Merion. The latter had scored 201 and got down 9 Montreal wickets for 130 on the first day, so that they looked an odds-on chance. The innings closed for 136 (E. S. Cameron 53 ), G. Bennett having taken 5 for 27 . Then A. J. Burgess (7 for 26 ) and C. F. Hawkins (3 for 17 ) bowled so well that Merion were all out for 7 6 ; and the Canadians hit off the runs for the loss of 6 wickets, Goodman making 4 5 , Brebner 29 *, and Cameron 24 . On July 5 th the Montreal team had been defeated by 3 runs only by the Staten Island C.C.—totals 150 (H. R. Nicoll 45, Radford 32 ) to 147 (C. F. Hawkins 39 , R. H. Malone 29 , E. E. Kenyon 28 ). On July 5 th Brooklyn declared at 143 for 7 (J. L. Poyer 64 *) and easily defeated King’s County ( 9 1 —L. R. Williams 25 ). Poyer is another of the many West Indians playing in New York cricket. Manhattan suc­ cumbed for 37 to Bensonhurst, who made 118 (A. Lovell 44 , R. Macpherson 36 *). On July 4 th Rhode Island and Massachussetts played their annual match at Beverley—one of the few genuine inter-State matches in the United States. The Bay State declared at 180 for 7 —Moseley 6 7 , Graydon 5 1 *, Hamblin 2 5 . Rhode Island replied with 69 for 8 —Jacques 3 1 . The headline (doubtless from a Rhode Island paper, but I have only a cutting) says : “ State team ties with Opponents.” Scarcely ! The Los Angeles (Cal.) C.C. had their pavilion burned down lately. They have now made arrange­ ments which are said to be likely to have the effect of transforming their ground, the Vineyard, into a verit­ able county cricket ground. Early in July they were entertaining the Golden Gates (San Francisco) team; but no detaiils of the games to be played are yet avail­ able. P. J. Higgins, of whom some account was given a week or two ago, is the Los Angeles crack. He will be coaching the University of Southern California in the Rugger game again when the season comes round.

T h is was the first of the “ test ” matches— a title, by the w ay, that, according to the Im perial C rick et Conference, should be applied only to E n glan d v. A u stralia, England v. South A frica , and A u stralia v. South A frica matches, though it has been taken frequen tly for other games of less importance. In dism issing the A u stralian s for 23 3 > the combined team did by no means badly. Cody le ft at 15, M acartney at 32, B ard sley at 65; and the best stands of the innings were 45 for the sixth w icket by Arnott and M ayne,-and 40 for the tenth by Em ery and M ailey.
