Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cricket Field, or the History and the Science of Cricket Common modesty should have suggested to such authors the example of gipsies, who, when they steal a horse, at least pay the owner the compliment of cropping the mane and tail. And, in this, no one will suspect us of making any allusion to Mr. Felix. Nve could no more boast a resemblance to his book than to his play; indeed, we both play left-handed, while we write like other folk i Great men have the same ideas, though we wrote first; and, if the force of genius could no further go, and our sails first took the wind, who could help it And now we may run parallel without meeting, except - and we care not how often - in the cricket field; for our respective designs are now wholly different. Mr. Felix attempts but a segment: we would comprehend the whole circle. He addresses the initiated: we bend to the meanest capacity; steering, how ever, a middle course, that the learner may not find us too deep, nor the learned too shallow. The plain and palatable is pro vided for the young people, though a few things more highly. Seasoned appeared only a proper compliment to the old.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Play Cricket: A Manual for American Cricketers Now that we have a Cricketers' Association of the United States, some action should be taken looking to an improvement of the laws of cricket; or, if not that, to an authoritative interpreta tion of those at present accepted. We learn in the play of cricket, and from written treatises always English in their source - that the revision of the laws of cricket made in 1870 by the Marylebone Club of London, although an improvement on that previously made, is not what it should be, and that the laws as they now stand are very defective. Our brethren of the cricket field on the other side of the Atlantic seem to be nothing if not conservative, so that although the defective ness of the present code is fully admitted, the leading club stands fast by its love of 1870, and no revision has to this time been made.

Not illustrated. 1854 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAP. X. HINTS ON FIELDING. The essence of good fielding is. to start before the ball is hit, and to pick up and return straight to the top of the bails, by one continuous action. This was the old Wykehamist style--old, I hope not yet extinct, past revival--(thus had we written, March 1851, and three months after the Wykehamists won both their school matches at Lord's);--for, some twenty years since, the Wykehamist fielding was unrivalled by any school in England. Fifteen years ago Mr. Ward and, severally and separately, Cobbett instanced a Winchester Eleven as the first fielding they had ever seen at Lord's. And among this chosen number were the yet remembered names of K. Price, F. B. Wright, Knatchbull, and Meyrick. These hardy Trojans--for the ball never came too fast for them--commenced fagging out long, very long, before they were indulged in batting, and were forced to qualify, even for fagging, by practising till they could throw over a certain neighbouring barn, and were always in bodily fear of the pains and penalties of the middle stump if ever they missed a ball. But these days of the voluntary system are far less favourable for fielding. To become a good fieldsman requires persevering practice, with a "big fellow" to fag for who will expect a little more smartness than is always developed by pure love of the game. And now, Etonians, Harrovians, Wykehamists, I mention you alphabetically, a few words on training your Eleven for Lord's. Choose first your bowlers and wicket-keeper and long-stop; these men you must have, though not worth a run: then if you have any batsmen decidedly superior, you may choose them for their batting, though they happen not to be first-rate fieldsmen. But in most school Elevens, after naming four or...
