Death of Lord Hawke Old School Tie Champion of

Cricket Empire

London, Oct. 11.

Lord Hawke, Grand Old Man of Cricket, died yesterday in an Edinburgh nursing home, aged 78.

The old claim for cricket-now a subject for satire-that it was "a game of character, my boy, character," found its apotheosis in Martin Bladen Hawke.

For, while he will be ranked with

G." "W.

with "Ranli," with Croucher Jessop and Demon Spot- forth, his ground for Inclusion in that high company will rest not on actual skill but on force of charac- ter: not the game's but his own.

He captained Yorkshire from 1003 to 1910, and was its president for 30 years in succession.

In his score, of 13,429 runs were ten centuries; his biggest innings was 100 against Warwickshire in 1880.

As a captain he was admirable. If a man struck a bad patch, Hawke put him higher up in the batting order instead of disheartening him by emotion. He would clap bowler on the back with the words, "Buck up"! when things were going wrong. And, though he butted Bi ur 9th wicket down, he pulled many a mulch (1 of the fire by pluck rather than skill.

two lost matches out of 80 played was just one of his team's records.

He was a great man too, when he -took teams to Australia, to the West Indles, to North and South America and to South Africa-and played' Through the James Raid of '98.

GROWING TETCHY

But in its later days, after he had steered the M.C.C, through the dark days of the war and its consequent reorganisation, he was something of an anachronism.
