AUG 17, 1898 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME- 858 Y O R K S H IR E v. M ID D L E S E X . U nder any conditions tbe m atches betw een these C ounties generally create considerable excitem ent. T his season, though, they are invested w ith addi­ tional in terest b y reason o f the prom inent position each occupies in the com petition for the County C ham pionship. In n eith er case, as it happened, was th e full side able to take the field. F. S. Jack­ son, th e C am bridge captain, was playing for E ngland at the O val, as w ere A. E. S toddart and M cG regor, thanks to the kindness o f the M iddle­ sex C om m ittee in w aiving any claim to their services. T hough the ch oice o f innings fell to the Y orkshire captain, just at the outset the w icket played a little queerly ow ing to the heavy dew, and Raw lin b ow led so effectively that fou r o f the b est batsm en on the side w ere out fo r 42. A use­ fu l stand b y T unnicliffe and Pee), who added 84 in an hour and three quarters, w as the first real stand o f the innings, and b o th batsm en played w ith great judgm ent and confidence. L ater on W ain w righ t and H irst h it w ith freedom , and their b attin g w as quite the m ost attractive on the Bide. A ltogeth er the tail had sh ow n very g ood cricket, and the result w as a creditable total o f 234, as the resu lt o f fou r hours and a h a lf’s cricket, a m uch better score than the early play seem ed to in dicate. In spite o f the good bow ling o f W ain­ w right, Peel, and Sm ith, M iddlesex, w h o had scored nine overnight, got runs steadily, and at lu n ch eon interval on T uesday, th e telegraph show ed 106, w ith on ly three fcatsm tn out S traneely enough, as the w icket got faster, the M iddlesex batsm en fared w orse, and although S cott and O ’Brien, w ho added 57 fo r the fourth w icket, both played w ed. the innings a fter all only reached a total o f 191, or 43 behind, jh e dism issal o f the later M iddlesex batsm en w as ia a great m easure the w ork o f Peel. G oin g on again Hate in the innings, he took five of the last six w ickets, at a cost o f on ly 18 runs. In all, the 43 runs scored from him w ere got in th e sam e num ber o f overs. Y orkshire opened their second in nings in very prom ising style, scoring 6 i in the first hour at a cost o f L ord H aw ke’s w icket. On his departure, B row n and Sellers batted in ad­ m irable style, and w hen play ceased on Tuesday night, they were still in possession, having raised th e total to 69 fo r one w icket. On resum ing yes­ terday the scores rose fast till Sel.'erB was unfor­ tunately run out. H e had m ade his 54 in an hour and three-quarters, and h is partnership w ith B row n had produced 90 runs in seventy-five m inutes. Soon afterw ards B row n,w ho had ta tted in his 1est style fo r fifty-one, p ayed a ball of H earne’8 in to his w icket. T unnicliffe subse­ quently stayed som e tim e, but w ith the exception o f U lyett and B irst n o one else got dou ble figures, and the innings ended fo r 181, the last fou r w ickets having on ly added tw en t}-n in e. W h en they w ent in fo r the fou rth innings M iddle­ sex had three hours and ten m inutes left fo r play and i 28 to get to w in, an alm ost im possible task as th e w icket had already show n evident signs of w ear. A s it w as they fa iled signally before the Y irk sh ire bow ling, and although Stanley S cott again played w ith judgm ent, the w hole side were out fo r 8?, leaving Y orkshire w ith a decisive victory b y 145 runs.

F ollow in g up th eir excellent perform an ce against Sussex, the H am pshire eleven added anther w in on Saturday at S outham pton in a decisive victory over a representative side of W ar- w ickshire w ith 267 runs to spare. T h eir success w as the m ore notew orthy from the fa ct that it is the first defeat W arw ickshire has suffered fro m a m inor cou n ty this year. It w as, m oreover, the result o f capital all-round cricket, and everyone w ill hope that it is on ly the forerunner o f a better tim e fo r H am pshire cricket. F o r their victory the h om e team were in debted chiefly to the fine batting o f Capt. W yn yard, H ill, and W ood, as w ell as to th e excellent Dow ling o f the youngsters, L ight, B aldw in, and Steele. L ight, w h o is on ly 18 years o f age, has been engaged at W inchester College. H e bow led 55 overs and fou r balls fo r 79 runs and nine w ickets. H a m p sh ire. F irst Innings. M r. A. L .

SU R H EY . T he Surrey eleven, though w ith ou t J. Shuter, W . W. R ead, K. J. K ey, L ock w ood , aLd M. Read, outplayed W arw ickshire in th is m atch at B irm ingham , on M onday and T uesday, at all points, and w on w ith an innings and 214 runs to spare. Perhaps the m ost interesting feature of the m atch Irom a Surrey standpoint, w as the success of the tw o youngsters Street and F. Sm ith. S treet, w ho played so well against the Australians, h it in fine style all-round the w icket, and h is 8J, th ou gh m arred b y one chance w hen he hi d got over fifty, was a brilliant display o f free and taking cricket. H e was only in an hour, and am ong his h its w ere tw o in to and one over the pavilion. Sm ith, w ho is a left hand slow bow ler, w as b orn in Suffolk, but is now qualified for Surrey by residence. B e finished the m atch in sensational style, taking the last five W arw ickshire w ickets in tw enty-three balls, at a co st o f on ly five runs. H e is quite young, and as in addition he is fa r from a bad field, and a fair bat, he ou gh t to b e o f use to the Surrey Eleven, w ho w on d be greatly strengthened by the ad­ dition o f a bow ler o f his s yle.

The Cheltenham w iek opened 011 M onday on the C ollege Ground w ith th e com m en cem en t o f the return m atch betw een G loucestershire and Som er­ setshire. U nfortunately for the h om e team W G. w as at the O val captaining the E nglish K iev, n and his absence n ot only w eakened the side lu t naturally to som e extent reduced the local interest. O. G. R adcliffe, as w ell as Capt. L uard, on the in ju red list, were also aw ay, and places were again fou n d for th e tw o young Olifconians, W .G , jun..and Tow nsend. T he ill luck w hich has follow ed G lou estershire this season in th e toss w as in evidence th ’s tim e w ith E . M. Graco. S om ersetshire, w ho had their best si^t, o f course went in first, and uted their opp ortu n ity sufficiently to rem ain at the w ickets over tw o houia and a half for a total o f 197. 'Ihe ch ief feature of the innings w as the fine hitting o f W. N. Roe. w ho played instead o f E. D ualop Tow ards the end he scored very fast, and his 75 were got w ithout a m is^ k e. T w o h 'u r s rem ained for batting w hen G loucestershire w ent in on M onday afternoon, and thougb F eiris aud De W in ton fh a p ed well, the earlier batsm en fared so badly that five o f the test batsm en had been dism issed by the end of the day for 88 runs. 'I h 'ugh the w icket had from the first helped the bow lers to som e extent D e W h iten and Page played w ith great ju dgm en t and the score w s raised to 140 before Page w as aupht. T he tw o am ateurs had ia an h ur and a h a lf put on 7?, of v.hich Page had contributed 22, a very useful innings. D e W inton, w h o had gone in secon d w icket dow n at 31, was eighth out at ] 6 '. O f th e 131 added during his stay o f tw o h ou rs cn I fifty m inu tes his share was 80, m ade w ith ou t a chance. Som ersetshire, w ith a useful lead o f 31 runs, began th eir second innings auspiciously, H ew ett and R . P alairet, pu tting on 58 fo r the first w icket. B oth w eie m issed at a very early stage, and indeed had the Gloucestershire fielding teen only up to tbem ark tl e total m ight have been considerably reduced. As it w as, the innings w as finished ia a very sensational style by young Tow nsend, w ho did the hat trick, thanks to the w icket-keeper, w ho Btum ped N ew ton N ichols and T yler off successive balls. Yesterday G loucestershire began the fou rth innings, w ith 302 to w in, and a very bad start they m ade, losing F erris w ith th e score on ly tw o and R ice at 18. W .G . the younger, P ainter, and D e W in ton gave m oderate assistance, but still w ith h a lf the side out th e total w as on y 47- T he free h ittin g o f E. M.
