The folloicing bowled, but took no wicket :— Baldwin (8 overs, 18 runs), H. Burgess ( 7 — 32), T. J. M. Clapperton (10— 29), T. Horton (1— 4), W. G. Pinner (3— 17), B. C. Smith (2— 2), C. Thorp (3-1-16), G. A. T. Vials (2— 19), Walden (1— 4), A. E. Worsley (4— 12). B. C. Smith during 1905 and 1906, and Buswell from 1907 on, have been the county’s regular stumpers, and, without being particularly brilliant, have always per­ formed capably. T. E. Manning has taken w icket on occasions, and Ellis (from Lancashire) played during 1910, displacing Buswell for a time. Four captains have led Northants since they entered the first-class arena. T. Horton was captain when they were promoted, and remained so for the next two sea­ sons. E. Mitchell Crosse captained the team during the season of 1907, afterwards giving w ay to T. E . Manning, who held the post till the endfof^ 1910. The present captain, G. A. T. Vials, was then appointed, and, being on the right side of thirty, m ay likely enough continue to serve the county in that w ay for years yet to come. The future of Northamptonshire cricket is distinctly promising, for a goodly proportion of the players are quite young, and the older ones, such as Thompson and East, have plenty of cricket left in them still, beyond doubt. If they have no great outstanding player, Northants have a team of really capable players, with a good captain to lead them ; and they must now rank as worthy opponents for any county, no matter how strong. Old John Bayley turned out for Mitcham when well over sixty years of age. His forte was slow round-armed bowl­ ing, and it is rather curious that he should not have commenced to distinguish himself much till he had entered upon his forty-third year. He was born in 1794 at Mitcham, where he always lived, following his profession as a tailor, and where—in 1874, in his eighty-first year— he died, next door to the house in which his birth had taken place.— From 1 “ Mitcham Cricket and Cricketers,” in Ayres’ Cricket !
