Cricket 1889

SEPT. 12, 1889. CRICKET: A WEEKLY EE CORD OF THE GAME. 891 CHESH IRE v. LANCASH IRE . The Lancashire eleven finished their season in brilliant style at Stockport, on Saturday, with a decisive v ictory over Cheshire by an innings and 179 runs. Lancashire had neither Mr. H ornby nor Mr. Eccle«. but Cheshire was even more unfortunate in losing the services o f Davenport and others. The latter, too, were, in addition, unlucky enough to lose the toss, and any outside chance they m ight have had was thus considerably reduced. Mr. Leigh , who opened the batting on Friday with Barlow , was dismissed w ithout scoring, but the latter and Sugg found the Cheshire bow lers suited to their taste, and while they were partners 201 runs were added. The two professionals were together for two hours and twenty m inutes, d uring wh ich time both got runs rapidly. Sugg, who was the first to leave, was responsible for 115 of the number, h itting with all his wonted dash. Among his figures were fifteen 4’s and five 3’s. Barlow was not dism issed until the total had been raised to 239, and his 106, in which were a five and eight 4’s, was marked by more freedom than usually characterises his batting. Later on W ard and Baker were seen to advantage, and the four batsmen were responsible for 295 o f 838 made from the bat. When Lancashire took the field Briggs and Mold shared the bow ling, and they were so successful that no change was required, the total only reaching 55. Follow ing on in a m inority of 290, Cheshire were able to make a better show, though the improvement was entirely due to one bats­ man, who c pntributed m ore than one half the runs. The batting 'of Mr. Latham , who has played a good deal for the S urrey Club this season, was indeed the one redeem ing feature on the Cheshire side. He was in more than two hours for his runs, and his play, when all the others failed, was worthy o f the highest praise. Barlow ’s bow ling was the ch ief cause of the general collapse in Cheshire’s second innings. H e delivered, as w ill be seen, 86 balls for 27 runs and seven wickets, L ancashire .

T ough neither eleven was quite as strong it coul have been, the closing match of the Scarbo ough festival, commenced on Thursday, was productive throughout of ex­ cell nt all-round cricket. Favoured with fine weat er fr m first to last, the meeting proved, too . a arked success, ending appropriately w ith a brilliant performance by Mr. W . G. Grace an Abel, which , unless it should be outdone at Hastings, w ill rank as the best of its kind during the by no means unsuccessful se son ju s t drawing to an end. The North, who were fortunate enough to w in the toss, made a ve y auspicious commencement, Flowers and Hall scoring 103 in just under an hour and a -ha lf. Of this number the former, wh was the first to go, had contributed 75, a thorough ly good innings, in wh ich were eleven 4’s, a three, and seven 2’s. Barnes, who came in on F lowers’ retirement, proved as useful a partner for Hall, and another long stand was made, 105 being added before Barnes, who had on ly given a hard chance in the slips when he had made 60, was caught. H is 79 was the result of two hours’ batting, and his figures included a h it for 6 out o f the ground from Mr. W . G. Grace. W h ile Hall and Barnes were in there seemed every chance of a very big score, but after their separation things went a little better for the South, a nd when play ceased on Thursday six wickets had falle for 292 runs. Hall was bow led by Mr. Stoddart after making 76. H is score was the same as that o f F lowers, but while the latter was only in an hour and a-half, Hall was batting for two hours more, a fitting addi­ tion to his many fine exhibitions o f defensive cricket this year. Resum ing on Friday m orning, Lord Hawke and U lyett added 56 runs in twenty-five minutes, but the later bat men did little, and the innings after all only r ached 3 0, Mr. W oods was the most succ s ful bowler. H e took three wickets for 73, while Lohmann only got one at a cost of 104 runs. When the South went in a very bad start was made, the t otal when the third w icket fell being on ly 20. The best batting of the innings was shown by Mr. S toddart, Abel, and Mr. Hadow , who together were answer- able for 142 of the total. Mr. S toddart, indeed, was in particularly fine form . G o ing in first w icket down with the score at 6 he left fifth but at 117, having got 71 out o f 111 made while he was at the wicket. H is play all round was o f the very best, and he never lost a chance o f punishing a loose ball. Among h is hits was one out o f the ground from Attewell for 6. When p lay began on Saturday morning the South seemed to have only a poor chance of saving the game, having to follow on w ith a heavy sum o f 163 against them. An extra­ ordinary performance by Mr. Grace and Abel, who went in first, however, thorough ly de­ stroyed the hopes o f the North. The two batsmen from the first played with consum ­ mate judgment, and their p erformance was a most remarkable one. In spite o f the fine bow ling opposed to them , and notwithstanding the frequent changes, the score rose surely, and when Abel was bow led the telegraph showed 226 for one wicket. O f this number the Surrey professional, who had been in three hours and three-quarters, accounted for 105. Though he gave two hard chances—one at 65, the other at 76, otherwise there was not the semblance o f a mistake, and everyone w ill congratulate a thorough ly deserving player on a most brilliant exhibition, particularly after his comparative ill success this year. Mr. Grace saw Mr. Stoddart out lbw , and then, just as time was nearly up, was himself caught at short leg. I t is needles* to say that he was enthusiastically cheered for his grand innings of 154, the highest score he has made this season. H e was at the w icket a little over four hours, and w ith the exception o f two difficult chances at 22 and 85 and a life at the w icket when he had made 139, there was not a flaw of any kind in a magnificent exhibition . H is batting, in fact, showed all his old masterly skill and judgment, tha there can be' no h igher praise. Th was thus left i n a very satisfactor for the South, who were 115 runs even wickets to fall, a very gratify i onsidering that they were 163 ru on the first innings. The attendance out the three matches were larger t nd a hear y vot o f thanks was gi lunch o on Saturday to the Earl o borough , who is the presiding geni in fact, t he promoter, as well as pri porter o f the Scarborough Festival.
