Cricket 1895

J une 20, 1895. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 219 KEN T v. M IDDLESEX. Kent on Monday, at Tonbridge, put but a weak team into the field against a very strong Middlesex eleven, Walter Hearne, Rashleigh, Leslie Wilson, and W . L. Knowles all being absentees. R. S. H. Baiss, the Oxonian, late of Tonbridge School, was played as wicket-keeper. Stoddart and Hayman began well, scoring 57 in 40 minutes, and then Hayman and Mac­ Gregor raised the total to 84. The last named and Lucas hit vigorously, and 139 was the score when MacGregor’s capital innings of 60 was closed unluckily by aball that rolled gently on his wicket from his pad. Rawlin failed, but O’Brien and Lucas in their partnership of 57 played remarkably well, the fifth wicket falling at 199. Webbe, Vernon, and O’ Brien had all been got rid of when 16 more were scored, but Douglas and Thornton soon got set, and defied all the bowlers for 95 minutes, during which 135 runs were added. Dr. Thornton had ten 4’s in his 59, and Douglas was left not out for a well made 77. Kent had twenty minutes batting, and lost two good wickets for 7 to Rawlin’s bowling. On Tuesday the last named and Thornton bowled superbly, and the eight remaining batsmen were all got rid of for the addition of 96 runs, Marchant and Cooper making 80 of these. Marchant played in his best style, making 51—ten 4’s—in 40 minutes, and Cooper, who was not out, played a most useful innings. Following on, 256 behind, Easby alone played a really good game, though Baiss, Le Fleming, and Martin had useful contribu­ tions to the score. The young professional struggled hard to retrieve the early failures in the innings, in which the first five wickets fell for 71. W ith Baiss he put on 67 in 55 minutes, and his 73, played in 85 minutes, included ten t’s. Le Fleming and Martin did something to improve the appearance of the score, but the innings was all over for 213, leaving the Metropolitans victors by an innings and 43 runs, a result greatly due to the remarkably good bowling of Rawhn, who in the match had 9 wickets for 71 runs.

A t Trent Bridge on Monday this match, of which the proceeds are to be given to W ilfred Flowers, in recognition of his eighteen years service for his county, was commenced. The popular player was unfortunately obliged to stand out of his benefit match owing to an injured hand, but great interest was brought to the contest by the re-appearance ol Arthur Shrewsbury, who turned out in the interests of his old colleague. Lancashire brought twelve men, as Mold’s injured finger made it very doubtful if he could play, but the fast bowler proved the most im­ portant factor in the match. W inning the toss, Lancashire opened by Hornby and Ward. The amateur was soon out, and Tinsley joined Ward, both playing correct if rather over careful cricket. For two hours and half they remained together, when Tinsley left for 65 out of 136, stumped off Gunn, a fate which befell Paul not much later. Sugg hit brilliantly, and made 91 out of 131 for the fourth wicket in a little over 90 minutes. W ard’s 116 occupied four horn's and fifty minutes, and contained only two 4’s, whereas Sugg had twelve such hits. Seven wickets had fallen for 315 when play was adjourned, and the innings was completed on Tuesday for the addition of 30 runs. The first innings of Notts was phenomenal, Mold proving quite irresistible and actually dismissing Shrewsbury, Daft, Dixon, and W right with four consecutive balls, the last two of one over and the first two of the next. Five wickets were down for 6, and the whole side out for 35, Attewell alone getting double figures. Following on 310 behind, Shrewsbury and Bagguley scored 20 before the former left, but M old bowled again so well that 7 wickets were down for 56, when Bagguley, who had been in anhour andtwenty minutes for a patientl7, was run out.Then when theinnings looked over Howitt, Wilkinson, *nd Handford all scored fairly. W ilkin­ son making three 4’s in one over from Mold by snicks off balls he tried to drive. Still, when the last wicket fell, Lancashire had won by an innings and 188 runs. Briggs and Mold bowled unchanged through both innings of Notts. Score and analysis L ancashire . Mr. A . N.

Save that Surrey have played and won two more matches than Yorkshire this year, these counties stood level on Monday when this match was com­ menced at Bradford, each having lost one and drawn one game. Of the last eighteen games played be­ tween the counties Surrey have won fifteen, but there is always the utmost interest in their engage­ ments. Yorkshire batted first and to three men owe a respectable score of 205, these scoring 150 of 19S from the bat. Brown was out at 17, but Tunnicliffe and Jackson by bright cricket raised the score to 123, when Jackson, who had given a hard chance when 12, had made 50 by good hitting all round the wicket. Tunnicliffe made a number of fine drives, ten 4’s occurring in his well hit H4. In fifty minutes after lunch the six remaining Yorkshire wickets fell, but runs were nevertheless scored quickly, 71 coming in that time. Wainwright was the third Yorkshireman to score well, only four singles occurring in his dashing 36. The Surrey innings was opened by Abel and Maurice Read, the latter making 31 out of 54 in forty minutes in nice free style. The game was delayed an hour and quarter on account of the bad light, and on resuming in twentyfive minutes Surrey scored 25 runs and lost Abel’s wicket. In the morning Walter Read and Holland were out for 27 added, but Brockwell and Hayward put 31 and Key and Hayward 40 in half an hour. Still seven wickets were down for 197, but W ood proved a most useful partner to Hayward, and the two added 79 before Hayward was out for a capital 108, which he had made by careful defence and good hitting in nearly four hours. W ood was in nearly two hours and was again the not out. and chiefly owing to him Surrey had a useful lead of 102, but Jackson and Brown batted so well that 70 were knocked off without loss. Then Richardson went on after a rest, and with only 31 runs added, four of the best Yorkshire wickets had fallen when play ceased for the day, Surrey thus having again a great advantage. Yesterday the wicket, though worn, was still good, and Yorkshire’s collapse was without excuse, 30 runs only being added by the six remaining wickets, and of these 19 were made by Hirst and Hunter. Richardson clean bowled three men, and Smith accounted for the rest. Wanting 30 to win, Surrey sent in Key and Maurice Read, but the captain was bowled in the first over, and Read disposed of at 16. Holland and Hayward hit off the balance without further loss, and Surrey thus won by eight wickets. Score and analysis :— Y orkshire . First Innings. Mr. F. S.
