Cricket 1892

JUNE 23, 1892. CKICKET: A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. 287 LEICESTERSHIRE v. DERBYSHIRE. Though they lost the toss at Leicester on Mon­ day, the Leicestershire eleven had so much the best of the play in the early part of the name that they were able to pull through yesterday after a most exciting finish with only one wicket to spare. Although rain stopped play several times on Monday, some good cricket was shown. In the result the game went altogether in favour of Leicestershire, who headed their op­ ponents by 7 runs with three men out. The chief feature of Tuesday’s cricket was the batting of Warren for Leicestershire. Going in first, he was fifth out, having scored 138 in three hours and a half, without one chance. Though they made a better show in the second innings, Derbyshire only left the home team 78 to get to win yesterday. Under ordinary circumstances this should have been an easy task. As it was, the wicket played very queerly as the sun drie 1 it, and the batsmen found it very difficult to get runs. Warren and Mr. Turner alone offered any resistance to the bowling of Davidson and Porter, and the winning run was got with the last batsman in. Woodcock, who had just returned from America, madehis first appearance this season for Leicestershire, and with success, taking nine wickets at a cost of 13 runs apiece. The match was for the benefit of John Wheeler, who has played for Leicestershire for years, and is one of the oldest and most valued members of the ground staff at Lords. D e r b y s h ir e .

SOMERSETSHIRE. Some eighteen years ago an attempt was made to establish the head quarters of the Kent County C.C. permanently on the ground of the Private Banks C.C. at Catford Bridge. Circunietances, though, caused the executive to make other arrange­ ments, and the match between the above counties commenced on Monday was the first important fixture played at Catford Biidge since then. Neither county had its best side, as Messrs. Patter­ son, Fox, and Kemp were unable to help Kent, while Somersetshire was without Messrs. Palairet and Challen. Mr. Hedley, fortunately for the latter, was home from Gibraltar, and his all round cricket was of great service, as will be seen. Kent, who batted first, were in till nearly five o’clock on Monday afternoon, rain, which postponed the commencement for half an hour, having caused more than one interruption. At lunch time 125 had been made with only two batsmen out, but afterwards Mr. Woods’ bowling proved very effective, and the innings closed for an addition of only 64. Mr. Wilson batted with great freedom, scoring 51 out of 69 in le^s than an hour. Taking display as it was, however, it was marred by a chance before he had scored. Alec Hearne’s performance was the best on the side. Going in first, he was not out at the finish, having been in altogether two hours and fifty minutes without a chance. Owing to rain, Somerset had only an hour left for batting on Monday, and in that time lost three wickets for 87, of which Mr. Hewett, who was bowled just as time was up, had made 52 by free cricket. On Tuesday the wicket was evidently suffering from the effects of tie previous day’s rain, and none of the Somerset­ shire batsmen could do anything with Walter Hearne’s bowling. Mr. Hedley batted with great judgment, but found no one to stay with him, and in forty minutes the innings was over for an addition of fifty-six runs. With a lead of 5L runs Kent seemed to hive a great advantage in entering on tbeir second innings. Messrs. Wood and Hedley, though, were helped greatly by the wicket, and except Mr. Braybrooke, who played excellent cricket, no stand was made. The innings, in fact, was over in a little over an hour and a half for 108, of which three batsmen had contributed 74. With 166 to win Somersetshire had anything but an easy task. The brilliant hitting of Messrs. Hewett and Fowler, however, laid the foundation of a creditable performance. In forty-five minutes 82 runs were got and wben Mr.Hewett was out,second wicket, the total was 89, of which he had made 54 by brilliant cricket. IhoughWalterHearne again bow.'edwell, the remaining runs were slowly got, aud Somersetshire were left with a very creditable victory by four wickets. Walter Hearne got all the five batsmen out to the bowlers. His bowling was quite one of the best features of the match. His twelve wickets cost 114 runs. K e n t . First Innings. Second Innings.
