James Lilllywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1880

6 2 LILLYWHITE'S CRICKETERS' ANNUAL. Harrowmade even a worse exhibition , D. H. Barry, who went in first and was run out the tenth wicket for 24, being the only batsman to show any defence . Avery patient score of 29b yS. W. Cattley , whowas in an hour and twenty minutes for his runs ,was the only redeeming feature of Eton's second innings of 85 ; and this , with T. G. Moncrieffe's score to follow were far and awaythe best batting displays of the match. Harrowwent in with 118 runs to win, and whenthe gamehad ultimately to be given up, in consequence of heavyrain , had got 69 of them for the loss of four wickets . T. G. Moncrieffe's 34 not out was a plucky and sterling innings at a very critical time , and it was the more meritorious on account of the frequent interruptions on account of wet. Opinions will , no doubt , be divided on the probable result , and perhaps it is best that this should be the case . O nthe one side , Harrovians are entitled to claim that there were only 49 runs left to get with six wickets to fall , one bats- man thoroughly well set , and the ground by no means favourable for the bowlers ; and on the other , Etonians can point to the weakness of the Harrow tail , and reason from their show in the first innings that there was by no means a certainty of the runs being got. Stumps were drawnat half-past six instead of seven o'clock on the first day, in direct violation of the recognised rules of the Marylebone Club , and further of those published for the guidance of this particular contest . Much time was cut to waste on the second day un- necessarily , and there was undoubtedly a great amount of unpleasantness or misunderstanding about the conduct of the match. W ewould suggest that for the future the two Captains should agree to the appointment of the Secretary of the Marylebone Club to decide all questions such as the fitness of the wicket and other matters about which there maybe a doubt. If this were thoroughly understood , old members of both schools would feel more confidence than under the present system , whereby we are inclined to think the boys themselvesare too m u c hunderthe control of others .
