James Lillywhiite's Cricketers' Annual 1874

Game, a freshman, imported from Sherborne School , w h osoon knocked up 54 runs by lively hitting . Another freshman, Mr. C. W. Boyle, fresh from great exploits at Clifton College , too, was first amongthe bowlers , his pace proving a little too much for some of the Marylebone b a t s m e n . Overs. Maidens. R u n s.

A nalteration in the usual title for the latter part, Surrey Club and Ground taking the place of the County of Surrey as of old . No change , though , in the result , as Marylebone at the end won by nine wickets , spoiling the chance there was at one period of the game of a close finish . Weather cold and bleak , as in March, and general dullness over the land, at least , over Lord's . Three innings only produced 203 runs, but the fourth was more profitable , as Marylebone had102 runs to win, and these were got with only the loss of so insignificant a wicket as Mr. W. G. Grace . Marylebone meant to win, or the Club would hardly have collected so strong an eleven , though Alfred Shawwas absent. Still , Rylott was no meansubstitute , as his deeds will show.

The Light Blues were not so fortunate as their rivals on the Isis , though "the Club " was no stronger than it wasat Oxford. Mr. Fryer, the University Captain, set a good example certainly , and made59 out of 147 runs ,the innings just double the score of M.C.C. , with one run besides in hand. Mr. Thornton , though ( the Thornton), upset everything whenhe stopped an hour and fifty minutes at the wickets , and made99 runs, and Cambridge in their second innings could not exceed the pitiable total of 67. Rylott was again " in form ," as the Cantabs discovered in their last attempt. Rylott (2nd inns ) O v e r s. 3 0 - 2 . . . Maidens.
