Text | There was quite a falling off in the fielding display made by the professionals during July compared with the record of May and June. In May the average of runs to a match on the winning side did not exceed nine, while in July it was nearly fifteen. Out of the thirty-two games played in July, there were but seven games played in which the scores of the winning side did not exceed ten. This shows poor fielding. As the game is played now no well-played contest should be marked by a score exceeding nine runs, the average of a fine fielding game being six runs in nine innings on the winning side. |
