Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cricket Guide: How to Bat, How to Bowl, How to Field, Diagrams How to Place a Field, Valuable Hints to Players, and Other Valuable Information; Rules of the Game In writing this little Guide on Cricket I have endeavored to present to its readers in as plain a form as possible Hints on Batting, Bowling and Fielding, with illustrations of what I consider the most important in those departments of the game which go to assist a beginner. I have also presented other items and information that has been asked of me at times by cricketers and those unacquainted with the game. I have often wondered why the noble game of cricket is not more popular as a pastime throughout the United States. It is my opinion the only reason is that its qualities are not sufficiently well known to be appreciated by the American people, who, although fond of out-of-door athletics, condemn this as an "old man's" game and not worthy of notice compared with our national game, base ball. From my experience, cricket is the game wherein a bat and ball are used and well worth the mettle of any athlete, old or young. True, it is not altogether a spectators' game, but nevertheless it requires all the qualities of an athlete to play the game as it should be. Philadelphia is the home of cricket in this country. Here they have three of the finest inclosed grounds I ever saw (each containing from ten to twelve acres), owned respectively by the Germantown, Marion and Belmont clubs. These clubs extend every encouragement to their junior members, who range from ten to fifteen years in age, to learn the game, furnishing a competent professional as instructor. In this way is the foundation laid for future cricket in Philadelphia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cricket Guide: How to Bat, How to Bowl, How to Field, Diagrams How to Place a Field, Valuable Hints to Players, and Other Valuable Information; Rules of the Game From twenty minutes to a half hour's practice at the wicket, three or four times a week, on a well rolled and level piece of turf, from a medium pace-bowler, with instructions from a professional (or someone well posted on the game) as to when and how to make the different hits or plays, is the best advice to a beginner. It is of more value to obtain practice of this kind than any amount of book study. Yet it is necessary to examine into the art of the game to get at the foundation and to become acquainted with the different attitudes and names of the many hits or strokes.
