Cricket 1895

A u g 1, 1895. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 317 LEICESTERSHIRE v. HAMPSHIRE. Though rather slow, the wicket at Leicester was by no means as bad as might have been expected on Monday, and improved a3 the day went on. Hamp­ shire, winning the toss, batted first, and in four hours compiled 229, a very respectable total. Barton was cheaply dismissed, but Captains Wynyard and Quin­ ton made a capital stand, though runs at times came very slowly, the partnership lasting an hour and thirty-five minutes, and producing 70 runs. Captain Wynyard’s innings occupied ten minutes longer than this, and was marked by careful defence. A. J. L. Hill played in different style, and was in eighty minutes for his 55, which included a 5 and ten 4’s, a very vigorous innings. D. A. Steele, at the close of the attempt, played very finely, and was not out. Leicestershire, who had left out Woodcock, Chapman, and King for three amateurs, lost their captain when he had made 6 to a brilliant catch in the long-field, but Holland and Tomlin played well and seemed set, when the former was foolishly run out. Tomlin and Knight played out time. On Tuesday Tomlin and Knight carried the score to 84, when both were out. Tomlin had made 50 in seventy-five minutes by good play, but after he left good wickets fell fast, and seven were down for 98. Powers and Hillyard averted a possible follow on, and in the end Hampshire had a lead of 82. When the Southerners went, in a second time Pougher sent back Ward and Barton at small cost, but Captains Wynyard and Quinton again made hay o f the bowling, and in seventy minutes 93 runs were put on. Quinton continued hitting freely, and after two hours’ and five minutes’ batting registered his first 100 for his county, 90 for the fourth, and 77 for the fifth wicket was the record, but at last Quinton was out for 178, made in three hours and a quarter, including three 5’s, twenty-four 4’s, eleven 3’s, and ten 2’s, a remarkable well-hit score. Yesterday, Hampshire put on 18 for the loss of D A. Steele’s wicket and then declared their innings closed, with seven wickets down, leaving Leicestershire 417 to get to win. The Midlanders began badly losing H. H. Marriott at 2, and from this start there was never any recovery, no one staying with Tomlin, who, as in the first innings played fine cricket, and made 38 out of 71 from the bat, Geeson subscribing 11, and the remaining nine batsmen contributing 22 between them. In the result Hampshire won by 342 runs a brilliant and well-deserved victory. Score and analysis:— H ampshire . First Innings. Barton, c Stock, b Hillyard 5 Mr. H. F. Ward, b Pougher 20 Capt.

Both sides were strongly represented, Kent giving a trial to the young Sydenham bowler, W . M. Bradley, andH. C. Stewart appearing for the first time this season. The ground was wet from recent rains and the start was not made until one o’clock. J. R. Mason and Alec Hearne opened very slowly, and the score was but 18 when the amateur was dismissed, while nine runs later Easby was clean bowled. Two more wickets fell at 39. Mordaunt again failing, but Patterson and Hearne then made a useful stand, and 55 were made in an hour and a quarter, when Patter­ son was unluckily run out. Heame was in for two hours and a half of most careful cricket, in the course of which he completed his 1,000 runs this season, but Kent were all out for 133. Bad as this was, Somersetshire did even worse, for in half an hour half the side were out for 12, thanks chiefly to Alec Heame. Nichols and J. E. Trask then made a slight stand, and 24 had been added when Bradley bowled the professional, and play closed for the day. Somersetshire added 43 runs for the four outstanding wickets on Tuesday morning. Captain Hedley’s 19 being the result of two lives given him in the field. Kent were 54 runs to the good, but with the exception of Alec Heame. none of their earlier batsmen stayed long, though Mordaunt improved in his late displays with 19. Easby was unluckily run out when 18, and playing well. Hearne was in two hours and a half for his 51, and showed by far the best cricket of the day—quite correct, if rather slow. At the close of the innings Martin hit out with much vigour, and made 23 in less than that number of minutes. Somersetshire wanted 203 runs to win, and in an hour and three quarters made 68 of them for the loss of four wickets. Y. T. Hill having been let off when 8, scored 25 out of 40 in an hour and five minutes. Nicholls also had a life just after he went in, but was not out for 11 at the close of play. Yesterday only 1 run was added before Trask and Nichols both left, and, though Woods made 11, the remainder of the batsmen all failed, and, after thirty minutes’ play, Kent won by 117 runs, a result greatly due to the bowling of Heame and Martin. There were 11 extras in each innings of Somerset out of a total of 167 runs. Score and analysis:— K ent . Mr. J. R. Mason, c R. Palairet, b Tyler Hearne (A.), c L.
