Cricket 1914

No. 14, V o l . I. SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1914. P r ic e 3 d. M r . S t a n l e y H. S a v il l e , the Cambridge captain, was born at Tottenham on November 21, 1889. He got his colours at Marlborough in 1907, when he was fifth in the batting averages with 18-6(i per innings. He first appeared for Middlesex in 1910, when his form for 56 not out at a critical juncture against Essex at Lord’s showed him a batsman of nerve and resource. Going up to Cambridge, he gained his blue as a freshman, and averaged 21-43 on a total of 343 in 1911. In the following season he aggregated 287 and averaged 23-91, and in 1913 made 404 at 31 07 per innings. He is possibly the best cover- point in the world at the present time, and as a batsman is the very man for a crisis. M r . F r e d e r ic k H e m m e t t K n o t t was born in Kent on October 30, 1891. In the Tonbridge School X I in 1908 he averaged 35 per innings, in 1909 40 per innings with a highest score of 198, and in 1910 he had the big figures of 1126 total, 80-43 average, and 187 top score. He played for Kent that season, and made 114 v. Worcestershire at Dover. Talked of as an England player in embryo, he has scarcely lived up to the standard set him, though he has some good innings to his credit. He failed to get his blue in 1911, but was in the 19T2 eleven, and with 46 and 24 was third highest scorer at Lord’s. Last year he made 116 v. M.C.C. at headquarters, but did little in the ’Varsity match.
