258 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JULY 6, 1898 YORK SH IRE v. NOTTS. A heavy thunderstorm , w ith the additional dis­ advantage of a t ad light and occasional showers, lim ited the period of actual cricket at Bradford on M onday to forty minutes. In this tim e, York­ shire, w ho won the choice of innings, lost three wickets for an aggregate o f 46 runs. The three batsm en out were Lord Hawke, who resum ed his ptsition as Captain of the EleveD, Mr. Sellers and Wardall, who m ade 14 between them. The not outs were Tunnioliffe and Brown, and to the twenty-eight they had m ade on Monday, they added on the following m orning 65 in forty-five minutes. Both batsm en played faultless cricket, and in proof of th» rate at which they scored, it need only be 9«,id that the 93 which were the out­ com e o f their partnership took them but an hour. The latter part of the innings was only notew orthy for an excellent perform ance by Peel. Playing with great care he was batting two hours and a half, and his 65 was only marred by one possible chance when he had got 67. Daft, who had bow led with sue ess at the end of the innings in the Gloucestershire match, was again very effective, taking three wickets at a cost of only fifteen runs. The ground had been drying throughout the second day, and Notts made good use o f their oppor tunities during the two hours and twenty minutes that were left for play on Tuesday. Shrewsbury and Gunn were the first batsmen, and 41 had been made when the form er was out. Barnes, who cam e next, was, however, in his best form, and Gunn and he had raised the total to 128 by the end of the day. Just before the finish, Barnes, who was (cot out) 69. w js missed in the slips, but this was the only flaw in an otherwise fine display of batting. Though yesterday Barnes was bowled after adding 2, Gunn, who was (not out) 45 overnight,after Flowers and Daft had been dismissed.found a trusty partner in hit captain,Mr. Dixon, and though the 0ticket during their part- nerphip was by no means interesting, the two bats­ men none the less offered a determ ined resistance. At the luncheon interval the score showed 208 w ith only four batsmen out, and with only five added Mr. Dixon was neatly caught at slip. His share of the total 263 was 42, aud as far as we could see it was free from an actual chance. Just after 303 had appeared Gunn was caught. He had been batting altogether five hours, and as a dis­ play of correct and careful cricket his innings was worthy of the highest praise, being without a fault. With the total 321 for eight wickets, the innings was closed, leavlngYorkshire in a minority of 101 runs. As. however, less than a hour and three quarters remained for play there was hardly an outside chance of the Yorkshirem en being dis­ missed, and in fact when the game ended last night only three wickets were down with 120 scored. There was no extra, as will be seen,in the long innings of Notts, a substantial testim ony to Hunter’s wicket-keeping. Y o r k s h ir e . First Innings. W ardall, b Shacklock ... 4 Mr. A.

The result of the Inter-University m atch played at Lord’s on Monday and Tuesday was strictly in accordance with tbe general expectation, based on the respective perform ances of the rival elevens. The early hopes of the Oxford men, excited by the num ber of promising Freshm en available at the comm encem ent of the season, had not been in any way fulfilled. On the contrary, although they made a very good fi ght with the Australians, not one o f the trial m atches had ended favourably. On the other hand, Cambridge, in spite of their defeat at the hands of Surrey, the Australians, and Sussex, had shown consistently good all round cricket, finishing up with a fine performance against M.C.C. and Ground at Lords, which fully justified the general confidence felt in their success in the Oxford m atch. The result of the game begun on M onday, too, showed that public opinion was for once strictly correct. In the choice o f innings, a m atter o£ considerable m om ent in a contest where so m uch is at stake, fortune befriended Cambridge —a piece of luck w hich of course only served to emphasise their chances. Jackson went to the wickets him self as usual to open the batting for Cambridge, taking with him Douglas, as has teen his wont throughout. Both batsm en were in good form and runs cam e freely, chiefly from Douglas’s bat,till at 56 he was caught. Jackson was out second with the score at 8 and then Fry and Berkeley bowled so effectively that by lunch tim e three m ore batsm en had been dismissed for an addition of only 30 runs. -O nthe renewal Berkeley bowled with marked success, and though Streatfeild and Perkins made a short stand, there was nothing really noteworthy in the latter park of the innings, w hich came to a close for 162, a m uch sm aller total than seemed likely from the earlier play. The chief cause of their com para­ tively cheap dismissal was the bowling of Berkeley. He not only kept a good length but bowled with great judgm ent, and his record of five wickets for 33 runs was unquestionably a good perform ance. So far, Oxford had done well to dismiss their opponents for a total under 200, and their supporters were, and with reason, hope­ ful. As it was, their batting was altogether dis­ appointing. The captain, L. Palairet, set his side a good exam ple, seeing four out before he him self was caught at the wicket. He had scored 32 of tne first 70, but otherwise no one shaped at all wtell against the slow bowl­ ing of W ells, and the last five wickets only added 36. ,An incident, which from any point o f view is tQ be regretted, marked the close of tbe innings. When five runs were wanted to save the follow on Brain had a brief conversation with W ilson, the object of which was taken by Cambridge to influence the latter to get out so that Oxford m ight go in a second time. In return, presumably, Wells bowled a no-ball which went to the bound­ ary, and a wide also to the boundary suc­ ceeded, thus saving the follow on for Cambridge. The occurrence gave rise to a strong expression of feeling from a portion o f the spectators, and though the procedure w as no doubt quite legitimate it was none the less regrettable. W ells’ bowling, as already stated, was the great feature of Cambridge’s outing. He got a lot of work on to the ball, and his five wickets for 39 was a fitting reply to Berkeley’s perform ance. Going in a second time on Tuesday morning with a useful lead of 76, Cam­ bridge lost Douglas for only four runs. The stand by Jackson and Latham , however, for the second wicket, gave their side a big advantage, which materially influenced the result. In a few minutes over the hour Jackson made 57 of the first 75 runs, and his batting, spirited and attrac­ tive as it was throughout, was up to his best form. Latham ’s 52 was also a very creditable dis­ play. He was in'an hour and three quarters, and with only one possi-le chance just before he was out. Later on Perkins and C*ay hit fearlessly, and, indeed, they made 77 in a little over half an- hour. Though Oxford had an easy task before them when they went in for the fourth innings, with 331 to win, no one, however, could have forseen such a collapse. Bo slow indeed was the cricket that the innings, which lasted two hours, only realised 64. of which 31 cam e from one batsm an, Fry. The m atch thus ended in a decisive victory for Cambridge, with 266 runs to spare. That the better sU e won there can be no doubt. At all events, they showed to undoubted advantage, and their success was only the proper reward of superior merit. Of the fifty-nine m atches so far played, Cambridge have won thirty, Oxford twenty-six, and three have been drawn. It m ay be useful to place on record that on M onday 11,090 persons paid for admission, and on Tuesday 11,466. First Innings. Mr. F. S.

Scores—Staffordshire 167 and 121; Cheshire 216 and 76 for one wicket.
