8 THE ASHBURIAN Ottawa Cricket Club vs. Ashbury College On Saturday, May 4th we played our 1st match with the Ottawa Cricket Club on our own ground. The pitch was fast and rather jumpy. The Ottawas proved to be the stronger team and they beat us by 6 runs. Several members of the Ot- tawa Team were old English County Cricketers and were therefore quite at home with the bat. Ashbury was out for 58 runs of which Mr. Darnill made 14 in great style, but he was unfort- unately bowled by a shooting ball. Evans II and Hamilton both played well for Ashbury, the former hitting up 14 in a very short time. The scores were as follows: — Ottawa Cricket Club. Craige b Mr. Furnival 7 H. Larkins b Mr. Furnival... 3 P. H. Morris b Mr. Darnill 1 F. Campbell b Mr. Darnill 12 H. McDonald b Mr. Darnill 5 W. A. Powel c Grant b Hamilton 12 J. Race b Hamilton 3 Bogert b Hamilton 2 H.

He will be useful next year. Gault I. — 2nd year on Team, a disappointing bat but a good Fielder though at times inclined to be rather erratic. Evans II.— 2nd year on Team, at times he proved to be a very useful Scorer but inclined to treat all balls with a pull to the leg, he is a useful Fielder. Evans I. — 2nd year on Team, a useful change Bowler he made several very good scores and is a good Fielder. Hutchinson. — 2nd year on Team, he proved a disappointing Bat, but bowled well towards the end of the Season and should be useful next year. Grant. — 1st year on the Team, an orthodox Bat with a good eye, he made several good scores, and kept wickets exceed- ingly well under difficult conditions. Valleau. — 1st year on Team, a careful Bat and a good Fielder, he should be very useful next year. BoGERT. — 1st year on Team, he is a very steady Bat with a good eye and can be depended upon to keep up his wicket. He is rather weak in the Field. Mulligan. — 1st year on Team, a useful Fielder and at times batted well. Cawest. — Never played the game before and did not shine with the Bat but he was undoubtedly the best Fielder on the Team. Jones I. — 1st year on Team, he knew little of the game at the beginning of the Season but improved considerably, he will be useful next year. Hamilton. — Proved a good Captain. He managed his Team with skill and tact. His gentlemanly and sportmanlike con- duct was on all occasions a credit to the school. He is just the type of boy one would expect to find captain of a cricket Team. The best all-round player on the side he leaves behind a splendid record and a place difficult to fill.
