IN THE PUBLIC EYE. I THE "GOOGLY MAN." i Some time ago the Tumour gained wide- spread currency that Mr. Reggie Sehwarz. the famous Cambridge and England Rugby half-back and the South African and Middlesex cricketer, had fallen in the cam- paign against the rebels in South Africa. What reaily happened was, to use the words o,f a contemporary of Schwarz in the cricket (ield, that "he fell from his horse, and th'a WMe animal did no more than put hi.s foot [)n his hand. And so Reggie is fit and well Schwarz, who was at St. Paul's School and Christ's, Cambridge, got his Bine in 1893 (says the "Morning Post "), and afterwards played for England against Pcotland and secured two caps against Ire- 'fhe late Jr. land and one against Wales. The late Mr. R. E. Foster, in a tribute to Schwarz's googly bowling, decl&red that "Bosanquet taught Schwarz, and Schwarz taught the others [Vogler and Faulkner ]. It is rather hard to explain his success but the break varies from six inches to eighteen inches, and on sticky wickets he is quite capable of breaking a yard." Schwarx made his fame as a cricketer in the South African tour in England ten years ago. Even Ranjitsinhji confessed at that tune that the googly man wanted a great deal of playing. ———:o:——— LOKD ROSEBERY'S SON.
