Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from School and University, or Dolph Woolward
It was the morning of the cricket encounter between Grant's and the Smalls. The two elevens were so nearly matched that the betting on them was quite even. Grant's had the best bowler and two or three very good bats. Their wicket-keeper also and long-stop were cer tainly better than those of their adversaries. But they had only one bowler, who was good for anything; the other, whom they were obliged to employ in the absence of any one better, sometimes performed so badlv that there was considerable risk of the match being lost solely through his wide balls and full pitches. Besides this, the last two or three of the eleven were juniors in the school and raw hands, who, though they gave pro mise of being good players at some future day, could not be relied upon to make half a dozen runs between them now.
