To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This, while at once differentiating between him and such pains- taking workers as Fry and Ranjitsinhji, is by no means equivalent to comparing him with the poet who is born and not made, for a long and arduous cricket education, seconded by quite unusual natural advantages, lies behind his present successes. Nor does he abstain from practice through any slack- ness. But, on the contrary, he believes that too much practice spoils his play. Unlike most of our great cricketers, Mr. Maclaren has no... marked proficiency in any other game. If 93 MR. A. C. MACLAREN he has another passion, it is coursing ; and his keen- ness in looking after his greyhounds at Basingstoke is probably equal to any enthusiasm that he has ever felt for cricket. It may be indeed that the recreation hidden from the inquisitorial public eye has the warmer corner in his heart. Of his cricketing achievements, which date back to the early forming of his style at Elstree, we need only recall such remarkable performances as his two innings of over 50 against Eton in 1887 and his innings of 76 three years later, on which occasion he captained the Harrow team.
