Cricket 1913

678 C R I CK E T : A W E E K L Y RECORD OF THE GAME. October 18, 1913. The Incogniti Team in America. S e c o n d M atch, v. M erion C .C . A t H averford, Septem ber 8 and 9. C olonel G reenw ay won the toss, and sent the home side in on a w icket affected b y rain. E van s, Scattergood, and M orris g a v e their side a good start; but the rest could do n othin g with F alcon and Sarel. M elville g o t three w ickets cheaply when the In co g­ n iti batted; but th at was the lim it of his success, and C ol­ man and M ulholland, h ittin g very hard, put on 145 runs, and forced the M erion captain to b rin g to the attack all his b ow lin g strength. Colm an was th ou gh t by some to have been cau gh t at the w icket when 7; but no doubt the umpire w as the best ju d g e— anyw ay, he was the le g a l judge. M ul­ holland had two lives in the sixties. Sharpless, the last bow ler brought on, go t 4 w ickets very cheaply. On a much im proved w icket M erion looked like m ak in g a figh t for it. E v a n s and Sharp less each g a v e C hristoph er M orris some help; and as lo n g as the last-nam ed stayed, g e ttin g runs in his own free style, there was hope. B ut F alcon bowled him fo r a capital 66; no one else except Lothrop L ee could make an y stay; and in the end the tourists won by an in nin gs and 71 runs. In each of the M erion in n in gs E van s and M orris m ade a good stand for the second w icket, ad d in g 55 in the first, 68 in the second. B . P . Dobson had strained his left calf, and could not play. M e r io n . First Innings. J. L. Evans, b Sarel .............................. 41 J. H. Scattergood, b Falcon ............... 15 C. C.

G e n tlem e n of P h ilad elp h ia. A t M anheim , Philadelphia, Septem ber 12, 13, and 15. T h o u gh closely contested, this was rather a disappoin tin g gam e. In the first place the home side were not at full strength, P. H. C lark, J. B. K in g (who has been p layin g again in club cricket), and H. A . F urness b ein g prom inent absentees. T h e Incogniti lacked Dobson (hors de com ­ bat) and M etcalfe (unwell). T hen the tourists’ fielding went all to pieces in the last in n in gs; as m any as seven catches were m issed, Falcon exp erien cin g cruel lu ck in this respect. T h e w icket was bad on the la st day, and, in spite of their luck, the Philadelphians deserve considerable credit for their win. T h e one man on the In co g s’ side who came out of the match with added credit was M elle; he bowled in fine form . S avage did excellent w ork for the w inners, and the stand of 118 by Christopher C. M orris and John L. E vans for the first w icket in their first in nin gs had a b ig bearin g on the result, for no one but M orice did much afterw ards, and the lead of 63 runs made a lot of difference in the final stru ggle. T h e G entlemen of Philadelphia won by 3 wickets. G E O R G E L E W Club Colour Specialist* & Athletic Clothing Manufacturers.
