CRICKET
SHEFFIELD SHIELD MATCH.
VICTORIA v. NEW SOUTH WALES. (Received January 26, 5.5 p.m.) SYDNEY, January 25. In the match for the Sheffield Shield, between Victoria and New South Wales, New South Wales in tho first innings lost eight wickets for 473—Hordern 25, Cody 39, Macartney 94, Trumper 138, Barbour (not out) r 44. The Trumper-Barbour partnership yielded 270 runs for the eighth wicket. As already recorded, Victoria in the first innings made 274—Baring 19, Armstrong (not out) 118, Matthews 74. Trnmper’s Great Scores.—Victor Trumper is still a wonderful exponent of cricket. In his younger days—he is not an old man now—he was daringly venturesome, and took more liberty with the bowling than any other known player. To-day ho has the same beautiful style, peculiarly his own—ho executes almost, all his old strokes, but time has had a mellowing effect on his play, and where once he used his feet to execute certain strokes, he now is content to let the ball como to him. Nevertheless, he still possesses the art of pleasing the spectators by his remarkable prowess, and is capable of amassing a hugh score against tho world’s greatest bowlers. His display against South Australia on Friday and Saturday at the Sydney Cricket Ground, when .he remained unconquered with 201 to Ids credit, was as fine a display of batting as the most fastidious cricket epicurean would desire. Trumper has now a unique record for an Australian, having scored 200 and upwards against every country or State he has met. Ho has scored 300 not out against Sussex, 214 not out against South Africa, 253 against New Zealand. 293 not out against Tasmania, 230 against Victoria, and 208 against Queensland. Against England in “Test" his record is 185 not out- He also scored 21S not out against 15 of Transvaal, in 1903. The fact that Trnmper’s method of attaining runs—extreme brilliancy—is against high scores makes his record the more remarkable. And he appears likely to go on notching centuries for years to come.
