Cricket 1892

304 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. JULY 21, 1892 NOTTS v. YORKSHIRE. Both counties had been showing such excellent all-round cricket this season that special interest was centred in their meetings. The first fixture at Sheffield, too, had been undecided, so that additional inportance was attached to the return, begun at Nottingham on Thursday, Notts was fortunate enough to secure its best eleven, while Yorkshire was seriously weakened by the absence of Wainwright, who had strained his side in the match between Gentlemen and Players at the Oval. Lord Hawke won the toss, and though the ground was slow from recent rains, deemed it expedient to take the innings in the unsettled appearance of the weather. The Yorkshiremen, however, found rungetting by no means easy against the fine bowling of Attewell and Shacklock, supported by excellent fielding, and in the hour and fifty minutes before luncheon, five of the best batsmen had been dismissed for 61 runs. The last half of the Yorkshire innings, which realised 46, was chiefly noticeable for the good play of Ulyett. Going in fourth at 34, he was in an hour and a half, scoring 35 out of 73, by thoroughly sound and taking cricket. Attewell and Shacklock bowled un­ changed for Notts. The former was the more successful, his five wickets only C09ting 36 runs. A little over two hours remained for play on Thursday when Notts went in, and although the wicket at first slightly favoured the bowlers, were able to score 104 for the loss of half their wickets. Shrewsbury, who was then 48 (not out), continued to bat in characteristic style on Friday, and was not out till after luncheon. Mr. Robinson, who came in sixth wicket down at 116. was again seen to great advantage, and 110 had been added in two hours when he lost Shrewsbury. Attewell helped him to add 61, and Daft and Sherwin also lent useful assistance by adding 43 for the tenth wicket. Shrewsbury was seventh out, having scored 116 out of 227. He was batting four hours and three-quarters, and during all this time, though there were a few faulty strokes, there was nothing that could be construed into a semblancc of a chance. Mr. Robinson was in two hours and three-quarters, and though he should have been caught whe-i he had made 21 , this was the only flaw in a capital display of cricket. With 262 to save the innings Yorkshire had a difficult task before them, and in the hour and five minutes that remained on Friday, fared so badly that any c&ance of a good finish was lost. Their failure was due to the effective bowling of Shacklock. Lord Hawke, Ulyett, and Wardall wire all caught off him at 2, and 10 runs later the Cambridge captain was dismissed in the same way. Mr. Sellars and Hall were not so easily dismissed, and when play ceased on Friday the total was 33 with four wickets down. Though Notts seemed then to have victory fairly secured, continuous rain on Saturday robbed them of this, and the game had to be left unfinished, Yorkshire still wanting 229 to avoid an innings defeat with six wickets in hand. In the match Shacklock took eight wickets for 67, and Attewell fivfe for 47 runs. Y o rk sh ire .— First Innings.

Grace has been absent from the Gloucestershire side since the County Club was formed in 1870 have been so few as to make his omission most noticeable. The strain which kept him out of the Gentlemen v. Players match earlier in the week, prevented him opposing Somersetshire at Bristol on Thurs­ day last. As a consequence not only was Glouces­ tershire irreparably weakened but tbe game itself lost much o f its interest. With W.G. away the duties of captain devolved onE.M.,and he opened the office well by winning the toss. Going in first with the Oxford Freshman, R. W. Rice, he made an excellent commencement, helping to make 133 in just under an hour and three quarters. Of this sum he mide 70, and without a mistake. He played a much more correct game than he has of late, and his hitting all round was particularly clean and well timed. Rice, who had from the first played with great care, received useful assistance from Radcliffe and Painter, and at one time 170 was up with only three batsmen out. Woods, however, bowled with great success in the latter part of the innings, and the total after all only reached 202, Woods taking the last four wickets. Rice was sixth out at 176. He only gave two difficult chances during the three hours he was in, and, as a display of watchful cricket, his 57 was worthy of the highest praise. Thoush Somer­ setshire lost their captain, Mr. H T. Hewett, without a run, Palairet scored very quickly, putting Fowler, who usually makes runs freely, quite into the shade. In a little over an hour 81 had been scored, and then Fowler, who was caught at the wicket, had only got 27. The Oxford captain continued to play fine cricket, aud after losing Hedley and Hill was not out at the end of the day with 75 out of 125 to his credit. On Friday, 47 were added before Palairet was bowled by a lob. He was only in two hours and fifty minutes, and his 101 out of 172 was an exception­ ally good exhibition of sound and stylish batting without a chance. Nichols, who played steady cricket, was out at 194, and with seven wickets down for that sum, there did not seem any likelihood of a big score. Hale, though, played well for his 87, and as Robin­ son and Tjler both scored freely off the Gloucestershire bowling the total in the end reached the respectable figure of 313. During the luncheon hour rain had fallen, and though the wicket never got bad it helped the bowlers occa­ sionally. In spite of another good start by E. M. Grace and Rice, who put on 54 for the first wicket, things went badly in the early part of Gloucester­ shire’s second inuings, and when the sixth wicket fell they were only 24 on. Some brilliant hitting by Painter, however, gave the game a different aspect. Painter, though at first by no means at home, when he settled down played all the bowl­ ing with confidence, and at the end of the day he was not out 79 with the total 199. On Saturday morning Painter and Murch were soon dismissed and the innings closed for an addition of 32 runs. Painter’s 85, though at the outset rather shaky, was on the whole a highly meritorious exhibition of plucky and resolute cricket. At the finish Somersetshire had 112 to get to win, and helped by bad fielding the runs wore obtained in an hour and twenty minutes for the loss of three batsmen, G lo u c e s t e r s h ir e .

DERBYSHIRE v. HAMPSHIRE. Some fine bowling by Davidson and Porter in the afternoon of Friday, at Derby, resulted in the defeat of Hampshire by 89 runs. Owing to recent rains the scoring was low on both sides. On Thursday there was only a difference of 5 runs on the first hands, and the third innings, like its predecessors, was between 110 and 120 runs. While the wicket was fairly easy on Friday, Bag- shaw and Malthouse played well, and the pair, as will be seen, scored 75 of 107 from the bat. Tho wicket was almost unplayable when Hampshire went in wiih 121 to win, and they fared so badly against Davidson and Porter that the highest contribution was Mr. Ferguson’s 7 not out. In the match Davidson took nine wickets for 40, Porter nine for 51 runs. Soar’s eight wickets for Hampshire cost 79, Barton’s six 88 , and Baldwin’s five 58 runs. D erbysh ir e . First Innings.

MIDDLESEX. The rain, which had spoiled the early stage of this match at Manchester on Thursday, by a per­ sistent downpour on Saturday robbed Lancashire of a certain victory. Mr. Hornby was still absent from the Lancashire side, and his place was filled by Mr. Hubback, who kept wicket for the second eleven against Surrey’s second at the Oval, and last week scored well against Durham. On the other hand, Middlesex had quite the best eleven it has played this year, including Messrs. G. McGregor, just qualified by residence, and Jardine,who played such fine cricket for Oxford in the Inter-University match. The morning’s rain affected the wicket at the outset, and the batsmen were generally seen to such disadvantage that on Thursday twenty-four \yickets fell for an aggregate of only 250 runs^
