246 CRICKETT A WEEKLY RECORD THE GAME, JULY 1?, 1894 SU 9B B X V. H A M P S H IR E . T h ou g h there w as on ly a difference o f five runs 0 .1 th e first innings in th is m a tch at B righ ton on M onday, the Sussex eleven w ere sut-sequently seen to such advantage th a t the m a tch w as w on b y th em b efore fou r o ’clo ck on T uesday afternoon w ith nine w ickets to spare. T h e w icket w as slow at the ou tset from th e heavy rains o f Sunday and M r. M urdoch, th ou gh h e w on the toss, decided to take the field first. T h e experience o f the open- i i g day hardly seem ed to ju stify this course, as the g cou n d helped the bow lers considerably during th e afternoon, and Sussex had rather th e w orst o f tihe lu ck so far. H am pshire began w ell, thanks m iin ly to M r. R ob son , and at the lu n ch eon interval on M onday th e total w as 94 w ith on ly fou r w ickets dow n. A fterw ards H um phreys w as p u t on w ith lob s and he proved so rem arkably su ccessfu l that th e rem aining batsm en on ly added 42, H um ph- rays taking five o f the rem aining w ickets at a cost o f on ly 24 runs. Sussex in their turn started aus- p 'ciou sly, and B ean h it so freely th a t 70 w as up w ith on ly tw o w ickets dow n. B aldw in’s bow ling, h3lped b y the ground, how ever, w orked a com ­ plete change, and w hen th e tenth w ick et fell the total w as 131, or five runs behind. B aldw in m et w ith m u ch the sam e su ccess as H um phreys. H is five w ickets cost 27 runs. W hen play ceased on M onday night H am pshire had lost tw o o f their w orst w ickets fo r nine, and in spite o f som e good crick et by Baldw in and Baker and M r. H eseltine th e outstanding batsm en on ly added 108 on the follow in g m orning, M ore rain in th e early m orn- 1 lg o f T uesday kept the w icket still rath er slow , and H um phreys and H ilton tow led unchanged. T h e lo b bow ler w as again very effective, and his share in th e success o f his side can b e proved by th e fa ct that he took eleven w ickets in th e m atch at an average o f ju st over nine runs W hen they w ent in fo r th e fou rth in nings Sussex w anted 123 to w in, and though M arlow w as ou t a t 4 ', B ean and M r. M urdoch knocked off the balan ce b y very attractive cricket. Hean w as m issed w hen he had g o t V6, otherw ise his h ittin g w as o f a m ost b ril­ lian t character. M r.

B aker, of L an ca ­ shire, m ade his first appearance fo r th e P layers, w hile fo r the G entlem en, M essrs. M ordaunt B athurst, W ickh am , Jephson, P erkins, and M ason w ere doin g du ty fo r th e first tim e. A s th e ground w as hard and fast, M r. W . G. G race had n o difficulty in com in g to a decision w hen h e had w on th e toss. H e w ent in first him self w ith M r. Jackson , and so w ell did th e pair perform , th a t 94 were g o t in eighty m inu tes. A t this figure Mr. Jack son w as dism issed fo r an excellent forty-one, run ou t th rou gh a sm art piece o f fielding b y B riggs. M essrs. M ason and M ordaunt w ere b o th b ow led by W ain w righ t, but W .G . fou n d another usefu l partner in M r. R ead, and at th e lu ch eon in terval on T hursday, the telegraph show ed 129 fo r th ree w ickets. W .G ., w h o w as then n ot o u t 68, had on ly added three w hen h e fell to a fa st b a ll from L ock w ood . H is 71 w as an adm irable in nings in every w ay w ith ou t a fault. M r. B ainbtidge, w ho cam e next, was caught at the w icket, and w ith his retirem ent h a lf th e side w ere ou t fo r 1S8. Mr. P erkins m ade 22 ou t of the next 39 in abou t fifteen m inutes, and th en Mr. J ephson helped Mr. R ea d to add 59 in a bou t the sam e n u m b er of m inutes. M r. R ead, w h o w as the first to go, had m ade sixty by excellen t cricket, m arred b y one ch a n ce w hen he had g ot 48. A fter his retirem ent th e end soon cam e, and w hen M r J eph son was ca u gh t at short slip th e innings, w h ich h a d lasted th ree hours and fifty m inutes, w as over fo r T44. W ith ju st under an hour and a h a lf left, the P layers began b attin g on 1 hursday aftern oon and in th a t tim e scored 89 fo r the loss o f three w ickets. G unn w as ou t at 9, b u t after W ard’s dism issal at 14 B rockw ell and A bel played fine crick et w ith the result th a t seventy-five w ero added b efore B rockw ell w as cau gh t ju st on tim e. On F riday m orning L o ck w o o d and A bel fo r a tim e played w ith great care, and th e form er w as in forty-five m inu tes fo r eleven. W ith B riggs and A bel partners th e scorin g was m u ch faster. B riggs, w h o ou gh t to have been stum ped w hen he h a d got i>9, w hen he settled dow n h it w ith great freedom , helping to add 95 in an hour and a quarter. B aker and W ainw right gave little trouble, and w hen the lu n ch eon bell rang on F ri ay A b el w as still in w ith 105 o f a total o f 240 fo r seven w ickets to his credit. Any expectation s o f a speedy finish to the in nings w ere soon dispelled on th e resum ption. H earne scored freely all round, and o f th e 112 scored during his stay o f an hour a n d a quarter he w as responsible fo r 50, an excellent innings. Mr. W alker, w h o had b ow led exceedingly w ell throughout, q u ick ly dis­ posed o f H unter and M old, and w ith the la tter’s retirem ent the innings, w h ich had lasted five hours and tw enty m inute?, cam e to an end. A bel, w ho had seen the w hole side out, con trib u ted 168 o f 352 from th e bat. H e gave tw o rather difficult ch a n ces at the w ick et ju st before he com pleted his fifty. T hese w ere, how ever, the only blem ish es in a rem ark able innings. H e had batted w ith unw earying ju dgm en t throughout, and his 168 w as a h ighly m eritorious con ju n ction o f sound defence w ith freedom w hen occasion arose. T h e ligh t w as very bad w hen tb e G entle­ m en began their secon d innings on F riday after­ n oon in a m in ority o f J19 runs. M o ’d, w ho b ow led from the P avilion end, w as particularly difficult to see, and it w as n ot easy to understand w h y th e gam e w as allow ed to continue. A s it w as, six o f the best batsm en w ere ou t fo r 31 before any o b jection w as raised, and then, ju st as the players left the field,rain stopped play fo r the day. On Saturday m orning the G entlem en still w anted 83 to save the in nings w ith only fou r w ickets in hand. M r. Jephson, w h o w as w ith Mr. B ainbridge n ot ou t over night played capital crick et till he fell to a good ball from M old, a fter m aking 22 out o f 26 runs. Mr. B ainbridge m ade 18 by careful cricket, bu t as ih e last tw o b atsm en, M essrs. W alker a sd W ickh am , b oth fell to M old in quick succession, the P layers had, a fter all, plen ty in hand,w inning in the end by an innings and 27 runs. M old and Briggs bow led th rou gh ou t the second innings o f the G entlem en, w ith the result that th e form er to ?k six w|ckets fo r 64, th e la tter four fo r 28 runs. G e n tl b m h n .
