Cricket 1893

302 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JULY 27, 1893 There is just a chance that the last stage of the road may be made by the Canadian Pacific Route. ------ G. A. L ohmann , the loss of whose all-round cricket Surrey has been feeling so deeply on the Blow wiokets during the last fortnight, is off again to South Africa. According to present arrangements he leaves England in the Union steamer “ Mexican,” on the nineteenth of next month. He ran up from Andover, where he has been the guest of an old friend Dr. Farr, to London on Monday with the object of a flying visit to the Oval, and in the best of spirits. He proposes to extend his travels in Africa during the coming winter to a much greater extent than on the occasion of his last stay there. PRINCIPAL MATCHES FOR NEXT WEEK. July 27-Oval, SURREY v.

Though Middlesex had. except for the absence of C. P. Foley, its best aide at Manchester on Thurs­ day to oppo:e Lancashire, the latter were able to m aintain a slight advant«ge throughout, culminat­ ing ultim ately in an easy victory. As the wicket was slow from recent rains, Lancashire were fortunate in gaining the choice of innings. They m ade the best use, too, of their chances at the outset, while the ball went along easily, and chiefly through the good cricket of Sugg and F. Ward 114 had been got before the second wicket fell. Of these Sugg had contributed 63 in a careful style hardly his own. Still, though his runs were the result of unusual caution, his play was none the less valuable, and his innings of two hours and twenty minutes was free from a m ist.ke. By the tim e o f his dismissal the wicket had begun to get tricky, and Stoddart perform ed to »uch tune on the later batsm en that the last eight wickets went down for an addition of only fifty runs. When Middlesex went in the start was m ost inauspicious, as W ebbe, Scott, a n i Douglas were out for only three run*. Stoddart and O’ Brien, after adding 72 in an hour, were both stum ped off Briggs, and as Ford and Rawlin also lent valuable assistance, by the end of the day 125 had been scored with two wickets still in hand. Thanks to the hitting of M cGregor twenty were added on Friday m orn­ ing, so that the close o f the innings left Middlesex in a r: inority of only eighteen runs. Lancashire’s second innings was anything but an attractive exhibition. Runs seemed by no means easy to get, and the general style o f the cricket can be gathered from the fact that it too’? the side three hours and a-half to make 139. W ith 158 to get to win, even allowing for the difficulty of a fourth innings on a wicket which ha«l favoured the bowler?, it was thought that Middlesex had more than an outside chance Still, though at one tim e they had fifty up with only three wickets down, the later batsm en failed utterly before the bowling of Briggs and Mold, and in the end Lan­ cashire were left with a highly creditable victory by 68 runs. Mold’s bowling was the chief agent in the defeat of Middle­ sex. He took six wickets in each innings, and at the same cost of 63 runs. Lancashire’s victory was the more notew orthy as they were without A. C. McLaren. L ancashire . First Innings Second Innings. A.

SURREY. The Surrey eleven brought a disastrous week to a close at Catford Bridge on Saturday after­ noon w ith a defeat at the hands of Kent. Heavy rain had prevented the delivery of a ball on Thursday, and as was only to be expected the wicket subsequently never recovered sufficiently for the batsm en to be anything like at their ease. The opening stages o f the game were par­ ticularly in favour of the bowlers, and Friday saw twenty-three wickets fall for an aggregate of only 228 runs So far there was little to choose between the tw o sides, as at the finish, Kent, who had lost three good wickets in the second innings, were only thirty runs on. The m ost noteworthy features of the day’s cricket had been the bowling of Walter Hearne and C. M. Wells. The Cantab’s slow bowling puzzled the Kent batsm en com ­ pletely, as his figures will show. Seven wickets lor 31 runs was a fine perform ance on any wicket. Hearne, who had not represented Kent since he injured his hand at Manchester in W hit week, was evidently none the worse, for he took five wickets for thirty-four. Notwithstanding a very useful score o f 44 by Knowles, Kent had only got 113 on Saturday in the second innings when the ninth wicket fell. Just at the finish, how­ ever, W alter Hearne let out vigorously, and the 24 added for the last wicket proved of immense value to the side. Surrey’s chances o f making 148 to win, as the wicket was, were not looked upon as very prom ising. They began badly, too, in losing their, captain w ithout a run, and with the two Reads <ut for small scores, K ent’s prospects were considerably improved. Baldwin, after being in an hour for six, was bowled, and Key, Brockwell. and Wells all went before Abel was dismissed. Abel, who had gone in first, was eighth out at 94. Of these he had made 44, and his innings of three hours’ duration, if not interesting, to watch, was invaluable to the side. A little free hitting by Lockw ood and W ood encouraged Surrey’s supporters, but only for a moment. After making fifteen out of 23 Lockw ood was bowled, and as, like Wells, W ood played on just afterwards, Kent wore left with a victory by 22 runs. W alter Hearne follow ed up his bowling in the first innings with another good analysis. In the m atch altogether he took ten wickets for 89 runs, so that he had a big share in the success of Kent.

The Essex eleven gained a highly creditable victory over Yorkshire in this match, played at Sheffield on Monday and Tuesday Their success was chiefly the result of the excellent all-round cricket of Mead and the fast bowling of Kortright. In addition to a score of 66 not out, the former took ten wickets for 8L runs. E ssex . First Innings. Mr. A. S. Johnston, c and b Wainwright 13 Carpenter, c Moor­ house, b Peel.......... 0 Mr. H. G.

TWkflNTY SECOND MATCH— v. SOMERSET­ SHIRE. Rain prevented a commencement of this match at Taunton until nearly half-past four o’clock, on Thursday afternoon, and as no play was possible from the same cause on Friday, the game was practically limited to a little more than one day’s cricket. Still, this was sufficient to produce a definite result, theAustralians winning ten minute h before the time fixed upon for drawing on Satur­ day. Blackham, though he won the toss, deemed it expedient rightly or wrongly to put his opponents in. Just at first the experiment was hardly attended with success, as with the wicket fairly easy the early batsmen of Somerset scored freely. Still, though the end of an hour’s play saw 81 up for the loss of only three batsmen, the rest did little against the good bowling of Turner, and the
