Cricket 1893

AUG. 31, 1893 CRICKET A WEEKLY EECORD OP THE GAME* 875 S U S S E X v Y O R K S H IR E . W ith a decisive victory o v e r Sussex at B righton on Saturday afternoon, the Y orkshire eleven brought to a close a very su ccessfu l season, one w hich p la ced th em in disputably » t the he^d of first-class cou n ty cricket fo r th e year. Sussex got the advantage o f first kn ock on an excellent w icket, and fared so w ell fo r a tim e that at the luncheon in terval on T hursday tb e score w as 118 w ith on ly tw o batsm en out. M arlow , w ho had played ia h is b est style from th e first, saw 42 added afterw ards, and w as then caught a t the w icket. H e h a d m ade 83 ou t o f 157 in tw o hours and tw enty m inutes, and there w as n o m istake o f any kind to detract from an unusually good disp ay o f batting. A fter M arlow ’s departure cam e a great collapse, so great that the seven rem aining w ickets w ere secured fo r »n addition o f only 35 run s. T h e cause o f th e failure o f the Sussex ta il w as th e effective bow ling o f W ain ­ wright, w ho to o k six o f ihe last eight w ickets fo r only 13 runs. T h e earlier batsm en o f Y orkshire did n o t shape w ell on T hursday evening against H um phreys’ lob s, w ith on e exception. T h e exception w as Brow n, and o f th e 97 scored fo r th e loss of fou r batsm en by the end o f th e day, he w as responsible fo r 66, b ing still in. On F riday m orning h e on ly added 6, and though W ain ­ w right scored freely, and L o rd H aw ke, P eel, and M oorhouse all did fairly w ell. Y orkshire on ly g ot a lead o f 11 runs on the first innings. H u m ­ phreys again bow led w ith rem arkable success. H e took eight o f th e ten Y orkshire w ickets fo r 98 runs, and w ith a w icket in fa vou r o f run-getting, and against a run-getting side, it w as a >excellent record T h e com m en cem en t o f th e second innings of Sussex w as a great con trast to th e first. T he early batsm en, excep tin g N ew ham , failed before the bow lin g o f W ainw right and P eel, and w ith seven w ickets dow n fo r 62 the end seem ed clo*e at hand. T o th eir infinite credit L ove, B utt, and L ow e perform ed m ost creditably w hen the usually reliable run-getters had failed, a n d the last three wi.-kets in creased the score by n > less than 132 runs. B n tt and L ow e in forty m inutes added 64, and the form er, w ho w as b attin g an hour and a h alf, m ade 67 ou t o f 121 w hile he w as in w ithout the sem blance o f a ch an ce. Y orksh re, w ith 18 ♦ to w in, had m ade 21 on F riday night w ith ou t th e loss o f a w icket, and on th e follow in g m orni g Sellers and B row n, th e n ot outs, added 73 before they w e e b oth dism issed. v\hen T unnicliffe join ed Jackson 90 w ere still w anted, and w ith the help of m ore than on e m istake in th e field runs cam e so fast th a t in less than an hour th e m atch had been w on by Y orkshire w ith eight w ickets t » the good. T unnicliffe, w h o w as let off at the w icket before he scored, h it w ith great vigour. H is 54 n ot out inclu ded n o less than nine fours. S u sse x . F irst Innings. S econ d Innings.

A fter three days o f capital all-round cricket, K ent succeeded iu defeating M iddlesex at L o rd ’s •n Saturday aftern oon w ith on ly 12 runs to spare. N either side w as fu lly lepresented, as w hile Stoddart and M cG regor were representing E ngland against Australia at M anchester, K ent w ere equally unfortunate in losing W . H P atter­ son as w ell as W alter H eam e. A s the w icket w as sti 1 suffering from the effects o f the recen t rain- fa 1, A. J. W ebbe, though h e w on th e toss,risk ed the experim ent o f putting K ent in. In this case the p olicy w as succesHful, fo r six o f th e best batsm - n w ere ou t fo r 27, and it vfraa on ly the good play o f W ilson, M archant, and M artin ihat enabled K ent to m ake 95 as the ou tcom e o f tw o hours and a quarter’s batting. E ven then the earlier part o f the M iddlesex innings hardly justified the belief that they w ould get m uch of an advantage. C hough the w icket w as im provin g steadily, the ou t-cricket o f K ent w as so g ood ihat th e total w as on ly 62 w hen the seventh w icket fell. T h e K ent bow lers, how ever, fou n d W esth orpe and H enery difficult to m ove, and in th e last h ou r 53 runs w ere added fo r the loss of W esthorpe’s w icket ju st at the end of the day. On * r day m orning H enery fou n d ju st at the last a useful partner in M enzies, and the la tttr u lti­ m ately carried ou t his bat. H ene y played particularly g ood cricket, and his innings, an unusual steady on e for h im , extended over an hour and a h alf. K ent were in a m inority o f 71 w hen they entered on their secon d innings, and before lu ncheon on F riday fou r go d batsm en had been dism issed fo r 75. T hen thin gs seem ed all in favou r o f M iddlesex, and w ith G eorge H earne’s dism issal h a lf the side w ere out, w ith K ent on ly 25 on. T here, th ou gh , th e successes o f M iddlesex ended. T h e later batsm en o f K ent, indeed, show ed to great advantage, and L eslie W ilson, w ho p u t on 69 w ith Stewart, later on helped to pu t on 75 m ore w h ie in w ith M archant. A ll three am ateurs show ed excellent crickot, and subse­ quently W right, too, w as o f great assistance. L eslie W i non in th e m a tch scored 121 fo r K ent, and his secon d innings o f 91 w as a particularly fine display. It lasted al ogether tw o hours and forty m inutes, and w as on ly m arred b y one possible ch an ce at the w ick et w hen he had m ade over 70. M iddlesex w ent in fo r th e fou rth in nings on Saturday m orning w ith 223 to w in, and F ord and W ebbe, w ho pu t on 47 fo r th e first w icket In forty-five m inu tes, seem ed to b e layin g the fo u n ­ dation o f a certain success. A s it w as, the bow ling o f M ason and A lec H earne com p letely changed the w hole a sp ect o f the gam e, and in spite o f a short stand by L u ca s and J. T . H ea m e on th e fa ll o f the eighth w icket, M iddlesex still w anted 56 to w in w hen M enzies, th e last m an, cam e in. Still, it w as som etim e b e fjr e th e end arrived. A s L u ca s and M enzies put run s on steadily the excitem en t increased, and w hen 200 appeared it seem ed to b e an yb ody’s gam e. W ith 10 m ore added, a fine ca tch b y M ason o ff his ow n bow ling settled L ucas, and so M iddlesex, after a plu ck y uphill gam e, w ere beaten b y 12 runs. T he bow ling o f the young W ykeham ist, M ason, had m u ch to do w ith K ent’s success. H is six w ickets cost 70 runs. K e n t . F irst Innings. S econd Innings. Mr. J. R .
