Originalfive page typed manuscript of anarticle written by Hutton, date andpublication unknown, with excellentcontent covering subjects relating tohis Test debut in 1937, and much onthe 1938 Ashes series includingachieving his record score of 364.Hutton describes receiving his CountyCap in 1936, his excitement on hisselection for the 1937 series againstNew Zealand having made scores of136 v Kent and 271no v Derbyshirein his two previous matches, and 153in an opening stand of 315 withSutcliffe on the eve of the first Test onhis 21st birthday. Tired and nervousafter his recent exploits, he describeshis disappointment of being bowledout for 0 by Cowie in the first inningsand letting down the ‘few gentlemenon the pavillion [sic], who hadprobably left the broad acres to seethe Pudsey wonder perform! Myskipper [R.W.V. Robins] greeted mewith the words, ‘For goodness sakedon’t do that against Australia nextyear!’ and compares these words withsimilar advice given to him byMaurice Leyland when Hutton madehis first-class debut for Yorkshire atCambridge in 1934 and was run outwithout scoring. Hutton failed againin the second innings of the first Test,making one, but made his first Testcentury in the second Test at OldTrafford. In the opening 1938 AshesTest, Hutton made 100 in England’sonly innings in an opening stand of218 with Barnett (126). ‘During mystand at the wicket I mentioned toDon [Bradman] that I saw him makehis record score [334, Headingley1930], two months later he was thefirst to shake my hand at the Ovalwhen I made 364’. He recalls BillO’Reilly as a ‘great bowler’, ‘whatgreat appealers the Aussies were’,and Stan McCabe scoring 232 out of300 in under four hours in the firstTest. Highlights of the second Testinclude Hammond’s innings of 240 inthe second Test, Brown’s 206no,Compton 76no on a rain affectedpitch, and Bradman saving Australiafrom defeat. The third Test waswashed out, and Hutton missed thefourth Test at his home ground ofHeadingley having fractured a fingeragainst Middlesex at Lord’s, and wasgrateful for the work of ‘Jim Wrightof Bingley in no small way’ to get mefit for the final Test match at the Oval’where Hutton overtook Bradman’s

record, scoring 364 including a recordstand with Maurice Leyland ‘adding382 for the second wicket’ a recordfor any wicket in Test matches inEngland’. He describes how ‘Thesturdy figure of Leyland emergedfrom the pavilion, on seeing MauriceBill [O’Reilly] murmured ‘ThisYorkshire —- here again. O’Reillystrove long and hard on that beautifulOval wicket. His bowling was of thehighest order, the turf did not givehim the slightest assistance. I place BillO’Reilly as the most interestingbowler whom I have played against.Every ball from him requiredwatching, he changed his pace andwas always attacking, each ball hadeverything that Bill could give it’.Hutton mentions his gratitude for thesupport of Leyland and Joe Hardstaffduring his record innings and closeswith a description of his feelings as heapproached Bradman’s score, ‘Thereal strain began to tell on theTuesday morning, my score at theend of the 1st day’s play was 160, atthe end of the second day 300. Aftera full day at the wicket I have alwaysfound it difficult to obtain a goodnight’s sleep.

Hutton is following thematch from his home. The pages arenumbered 2-6, lacking the first page.The article primarily concerns thesubject of umpiring and the attributesrequired to be a successful umpire.‘From half past eleven until half pastsix he must stand on his feet, countsix balls an over, watch the bowlersfor no-balls, and throwing, giveinstantaneous answer to leg-beforeappeals, even when the exactitude ofa micrometer would be necessary toprovide the correct decision’. Otherattributes required include correctpositioning to avoid fielders, judgerun-outs, short runs, stumpings,snicks off bat and pad, bump balls,and the need for absolute concen-tration throughout. Hutton states he‘should hate to be an umpire’ andquotes Eddie Paynter who retiredfrom umpiring after only one season,‘it’s a darned sight harder thanplaying’, and admires Frank Chesterwho had ‘such a deep and genuineaffection for the game’ from a youngage. Hutton continues with histhoughts on players’ honesty, sports-

manship and ‘personal integrity’ onthe field relating to whether a catchwas taken cleanly or not, and the‘duty of the fieldsman to signify atonce whether the catch was ‘clean’,citing Arthur ‘Ticker’ Mitchell ofYorkshire and ‘his unfailing honesty’he never threw the ball in the air totry and influence an umpire’s verdict’.Finally, Hutton emphasises the needto accept the umpire’s decision‘without question and withoutpause’, bemoaning ‘umpire-baiting’and comparing it with ‘referee-baiting’ in football, comparing theexcitability and volatility of thefootballer Hughie Gallcher withStanley Matthews, and that of DougWright with the ‘jack-in-the-box’,Godfrey Evans. Hutton closes withthanks to those ‘who have sent megood wishes during my rest’ I hope toresume in the Yorkshire side againstMiddlesex at Lord’s’, and describeshis pleasure on hearing about DenisCompton’s performance in thecurrent Test match, ‘Can there be anydoubt now that he is the greatest‘crisis’ batsman in the last twodecades?’.

119 Don Bradman. A fascinatingcollection of correspondencebetween Bradman and ChristopherMartin-Jenkins, then editor of ‘TheCricketer’ magazine relating to short-pitch bowling. The first letter is aresponse to an editorial in theOctober 1984 issue of ‘TheCricketer’, written by ChristopherMartin-Jenkins, in which the subjectof intimidatory short pitched bowlingwas raised, including the possibleintroduction of measures such asincreasing the length of the pitch,painting a line on the pitch, restrictingthe bowler’s run up to ten yards, or achange in the law such that abatsman is not out caught if the ballhad struck the glove or bat handle.Bradman responds to these ideas in asingle page typed letter dated 3rdOctober 1984 to Martin-Jenkins,having read the article ‘with interest...and astonishment’. Bradmanacknowledges the need to remove‘intimidation as a tactic’ but lays theblame with umpires ‘unwilling toexercise a moral judgement’. His viewon the abolition of batsmen being outoff the glove ‘is an illogical and stupidway of trying to solve [the issue]’,and that the idea of lengthening thepitch ‘would be equally absurd,penalising batsmen of all types’.

Bradman concludes by questioningwhether the LBW law is adequate forspinners. ‘Don’t support remedieswhich don’t make sense... I believeyou are on the wrong track’. Signed‘Don’. In Martin-Jenkins’ typed copyreply, dated 11th October 1984, hequotes statistical evidence supportingthe concept of lengthening the pitchin proportion to the growing heightof bowlers over time and increasedspeed through ‘modern nutrition andphysical training methods’. Bradmanreplies on the 30th October with alengthy three page typed letterreiterating his views in strong termson ‘the foolishness of the “not outcaught” idea’ and that lengtheningthe pitch would be unfair to slow andmedium paced bowlers. He usescolourful language such as ‘utterfallacy’, ‘arrant rubbish’, and is ‘totallyunmoved by your argument’, refutingthe view that modern bowlers are‘fitter, stronger and faster’ andprovides lengthy anecdotal evidence.He closes with a request that hisviews are not to be published but ishappy for this letter to be shown toJim Swanton ‘and would beinterested to know his re-action’.Signed ‘Don’. In Martin-Jenkins’ replyof 8th November he acknowledgesthat the change to catches off theglove ‘would not be a good thing’,but does not accept all of Bradman’sarguments about fast bowlers, andfurther supports the introduction of aline across the pitch. On 28thNovember Bradman suggests theintroduction into Test matches of awide off a short ball, as was alreadythe case in limited over cricket, butsuggests that the ‘stumbling blockwould be the West Indies... becausethey would regard “anything” as amove to blunt their fire power. Signed‘Don’. Later correspondence in 1992relates to Bradman’s agreement tothe ‘return to the back foot forjudging a no-ball’, and readdressesthe subject of lengthening thedistance between the two creases,and the supposed increase of theaverage height of players over time.He provides interesting evidence froma book written by W.G. Grace in1891 in which Grace quoted theheight and weight of players of hisera, and lists numerous players oversix foot in height, including Gracehimself who was 6’ at the age ofsixteen. Signed ‘Don Bradman’.Finally, Martin-Jenkins responds on23rd June 1992 by thanking Bradmanfor his trouble, but that this ‘has notaltered my view that it would bedesirable to at least experiment withsome matches played by first-classcricketers with the stumps set a footfurther back at either end and withthe old back foot [no-ball] law inoperation’.

W.W. Read’s team were unbeaten onthe tour of South Africa, winningfourteen matches including ‘The TestMatch’ and drawing seven. Theywere far too strong, particularly inbowling, for the opposition it met,J.T. Hearne and Martin captured over100 wickets each... It seemsunrealistic that the only match

played on equal terms is nowdescribed as a Test match. For onething, two Australian Test cricketers,Ferris and Murdoch, as countyplayers became members of thetouring party, but went on torepresent England. At the end of thetour the captain, Walter Read andmanager, Edwin Ash were arresteduntil they provided security to covera loan of £1000 which had beenadvanced by a Cape Colonybusinessman to cover expenses notmet by the gates. There was just timefor them to be ferried to the shipbefore it departed....

This ‘Test match’ game is moreinteresting for the following historicaloddities,

William Murdoch and Ferris, whohad both previously played forAustralia, played for England due toresidence, Frank Hearne, who playedfor South Africa in this game, hadpreviously played for England.Finally, the game gives the secondinstance of three brothers playing inthe same Test match, as FrankHearne’s brothers, Alec Hearne andGeorge Hearne played for England, acousin, John Thomas Hearne alsoplayed for the tourists and the tourwas simultaneous to the Englishcricket team in Australia in 1891/92,both teams deemed to have “Teststatus”.

Jardinemade 127, his only Test century. Inthe West Indian second innings,Clark bowled bodyline back to theWest Indians, taking 2 for 64. Thematch in the end was drawn butplayed a large part in turning Englishopinion against bodyline.
